UNCHARTED HORIZONS: A JOURNEY OF RESILIENCE

A Sri Lankan Migrant’s Story in Early 1990

In this powerful memoir, I recount my early life in Sri Lanka and the turbulent backdrop of the 1989–1990 JVP insurrection. Drawing from my personal experience, I provide an impartial and heartfelt account of the unrest that ultimately led me to flee my homeland—leaving behind my young family—in pursuit of safety and hope in a new land.

The narrative then follows my journey of rebuilding life in Australia. It explores the values, principles, and hard-earned wisdom—such as freedom with responsibility, gratitude, integrity, and resilience—that guided me through multiple careers in Medicine, Education, Law, Business, Leadership, and Entrepreneurship.

One chapter is specially dedicated to the life lessons and rules that helped shape my identity and success, offering readers a practical and philosophical blueprint for overcoming adversity and creating a meaningful life.
