    I have been to Seychelles 5 times and love the Island. The fine white sandy beach, snorkelling among the fish, and the hospitality of the Seychellois is something I won't forget. Oh yes, and my favourite, Octopus curry, yummy!

    ‘FIJI’, a group of Islands, is situated, in Southern Pacific Ocean, WS of Samoa! A young student of Fiji, as a scientist, we can not forget him. He came to India, for 3 months, only; to study Remote Sensing, during 20 or 25 years, ago! His Indian-family had and has been talking in Bhojpuri language, even now, and Indian customs, also. This oldest-family had migrated to Fiji, more than two-hundred years, ago. INDIANS, OLDER FAMILIES, also, had been migrated to FRENCH GUIANA (South America) and SEYCHELLES, near Eastern Coast of Africa, Indian Ocean. Trades-men, French or Spain’s or English, before the older British Rulers of India, they must had been bringing the Indians, traveling on oldest boats, as laborers, only, for working hard-working for sugarcanes, only. They had settled in their new countries, then. We have been proud of them, Oldest Indians families; have been staying in their own countries, independent. They have been studying for various themes; professionals sciences, also. We had met 3 or 4, of the same ancestry, at Amsterdam or Hague, Netherlands, also, during 1989. They were, of the same of ancestry, born in French Guiana. Interesting!! R&D Studies; find-out the history, including, their original family-trees, also!!!! International; of Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans; far-flung, on the earth!!!

    ‘Mahe’ or ‘Mahi’, a famous river, had / have been flowing in central Gujarat, meeting Gulf of Khambhat, Arabian Sea, through Mahi Sagar / a lake, the western coast of India. Interesting! That was why, right, adopted the same name, ‘Mahe’ of this Island, by migrants, from Gujarat to settling in SEYCHELLES, during two-hundred, approximate, ago.
