taking refuge in Suva in the
aftermath of Tropical Cyclone that
devastated Fiji last weekendleaving 43
dead and more than 53,000 homeless.
Boat loads carrying hundreds of people
from Koro began arriving in Suva this week
as villagers flee their devastated island
because it is no longer safe for them to
live in.
Koro is one of the many areas which
was destroyed by the TC Winston. In the
Western Division, Ba, Rakiraki, Tavua and
Lautoka were also severely affected.
More than 4,000 people live on Koro
Island in the Lomaiviti Group and now it is
expected to be quarantined. Koro islander
Mitieli Tuqiri said nothing was left for
them on the island.
Everyone from my village is choosing
to move to Suva. Some came last week
while others arrived on board the Patterson
boat today, Tuqiri said on Monday,
February 29.
We have been advised by our relatives
to leave the islands and thats exactly what
we are doing because staying behind means
a lot of struggle for us to get our lives back
to normal. He said people from other
villages as well had moved to the main
urban centres. Calls have been made to
have the island quarantined for at least two
months as there is a risk of an outbreak of
communicable diseases. Agriculture officer
Isei Namacamanalatu said dead animal
carcasses polluted rivers, water was not

Editorial
Notice we are not using the famous Nike slogan of Just do it! Its about just
getting started. The doing it will take care of itself once we get going. If we
think about just doing it, we risk getting overwhelmed with all there is to do.
If we just take a first step that is much easier.
As a strategy, you may find that you have to just get started many times throughout
the day, even on the same task. This is common. Even in meditation, we have to
gently bring our attention back to our focal point, whatever that may be (e.g., our
breath, a mantra). The thing to remember is that just getting started may happen
many times in a day.
~Timothy A. Pychyl from Solving the Procrastination Puzzle
I find this works for me every single time. I often find myself encouraging people
to just get started. Often, people may have brilliant ideas that will clearly work but
because they do not take that step and just get started in time, the idea dies out
and so does the enthusiasm. As a result sometimes people end up accomplishing
nothing. It thus becomes important to fight that inertiato keep up the energy and
enthusiasm that often comes with a new idea and just get started.
A little bit like our Southline. We just got started and I am so sure this will
grow from strength to strength. We are happy that our readers in South island now
have a dedicated page to look out for. And if you are in the South island and want to
contribute towards our paper, please feel free to do so.
In this issue again we bring you an update of everything that has been going on in
Fiji. It is heartening to see how the world is coming together to help in this time of
need. We bring you stories on the situation as it is unfolding.
As you would have noticed, the nominations for the Kiwi Indian Hall of Fame
are now open. If you have anyone who you think deserves to be honoured for their
accomplishments and contributions then it might be a good time in getting that
nomination form together. It will not be long before these nominations close. The
last thing we would want is that someones name is not being considered due to
paucity of time in completing their applications.
In speaking about Kiwi Indians making their mark, it was wonderful to hear
Mahesh Bindra being appointed the worldwide coordinator for the Hindu Democratic
Forum. We would like to congratulate him on this. It is indeed good to see a KiwiIndian Member of Parliament represent us on a global platform.

possibility
of
recognising the 20-million
strong Roma community
spread across 30 countries as a
part of Indian diaspora is gaining
ground with the government in
the process of evaluating such a
recommendation.
After External Affairs Minister
of India Sushma Swaraj stated
that the people of the Roma
community, whose ancestors
are believed to have migrated
some 1,500 years ago, were
children of India. An international
conference in New Delhi ended
with a recommendation to
recognise them as part of the
Indian diaspora.
You are the children of
India who migrated and lived
in challenging circumstances
in foreign lands for centuries.
Yet you maintained your Indian
identity, Sushma Swaraj said
while inaugurating the three-day
International Roma Conference
and Cultural Festival 2016
earlier this month. A strong
20m Roma population is spread
over 30 countries encompassing
West Asia, Europe, America and
Australia, she said.
Romas are said to be
descendants of Dom, Banjara,
Gujjar, Sansi, Chauhan, Sikligar,
Dhangar and other nomadic
groups from northwest India.
According to some scholars,
the first migration followed the
invasion of Alexander the Great
who carried ironsmiths skilled in
making weapons in large numbers
in the fifth century BC.
