“Mapema, kabla ndege haijaondoka na baada ya kuagana na maafisa waliomsindikiza, Nanda aliingia katika ndege na kutafuta namba ya kiti chake. Alivyoiona, alishtuka. Msichana mrembo alikaa kando ya kiti (cha Nanda) akiongea na simu, mara ya mwisho kabla ya kuondoka. Alivyofika, Nanda hakujizuia kuchangamka – alitupa tabasamu. Alivyoliona, kupitia miwani myeusi, binti alitabasamu pia, meno yake yakimchanganya kamishna. Alimsalimia Nanda, harakaharaka, na kurudi katika simu huku Nanda akikaa (vizuri) na kumsubiri. Alivyokata simu, alitoa miwani na kumwomba radhi Kamishna Nanda. Nanda akamwambia asijali, huku akitabasamu. Alikuwa na safari ya Bama kupitia Tailandi, kwa ndege ya Shirika la Ndege la Skandinavia na Maxair kutokea Bangkok; sawa kabisa na safari ya kamishna.”

“The morning that Gandhi’s ship pulled into Rangoon on 7 March 1929, the sea was calm and the deck resounded with recitations of Tulsidas’ poetic epic ‘The Ramayana’. With the rising dawn, Gandhi could see the distant smoke billowing from the city’s factories, mills and oil refineries, and soon he made out a ‘monster cosmopolitan gathering’ of people from across the Raj jostling on the extensive waterfront jetties to greet him. ‘The crowd cried out, “Long live Mahatma Gandhi!”’ recalled a Burmese writer who was present, and ‘a young boy watching up a palm tree clapped his hands with glee, and fell down’.”
