Abstract
She fill in love… is a real experience of the author Dr. Rajinder Singh. He had gone Australia to study ‘Management in Government’ at the International Management Institute in Sydney. Whatever was seen by him, experienced by him, felt by him are the raw materials of this novel. In a line, it can be said that this novel is about Australian life with different cultures, ethos and varied interests in life. The novelist has brought all aspects of Australian life-social cultural, political and religious, their relations with the aborigines and their attitude towards foreigners. It is the mirror of life style of Australian people. This novel has dealt with so many things- family life, marriage system, divorce, live together concept, friendship etc. The novelist has brought the Australian life in the open canvass of life. The cooperation, love, faith and friendship- all these human values are given a new dimension in the novel and the novelist tries to show how to live peacefully in spite of several unwanted events of life. The central point of these novel is open ended—the multicultural outwork of life, the world of love and of course sympathy. At the very beginning of the novel, we find how the Indian team who were awarded the fellowship by the Australian Govt. to study at the International Institute of Management at Sydney, reached to Australia. The Team constituted of Prabhjnder, Walvlekar, Ghosh, Jena, Kamal and Nanjappa. All of these were selected by the Govt. of India from different ministers of centers and State Govt. From this group, Mr. Prabhjinder Sing was elected as the leader of the team by mutual consent. In Sidney, they were received warmly by Helen, the beautiful, smart lady on behalf of the Australian Govt. They were kept in the International Guest House at Thomas Hardy Road in Sydney. In the Guest House they met with Allision, the receptionist and her jovial husband Emmanuel. Other guests from ten different countries reached in the Guest House. Among them Das was from Fiji, Michael from Thailand, Kumarsingha from Shrilanka, Chhaya and Kishan from Mauristious, Pauline and Ferdinand from Philipines, Toddy from Togoland, Francis from Bahamas, Allice and Jaffer from Bangladesh. Among them Pauline showed some affection towards Mr. Sing who was really surprised for her behaviour. At the evening, Mr. Byron, the Principal of the institute welcomed all the fellows from different countries. A dinner Party was arranged in honour of the guests. In the next day, the Principal lectured on ‘Management Problem’ faced by various countries and emphasized on the solution of it with the help of new methods. Mr. Sing, as the writer of the Panjabi language was introduced with the others with the hope that in future he would write on Australian theme. The Principal also talked about the session, course materials and what they should do during the course. Pauline tried to get closer to Mr. Sing. Being an aged person, Mr. Sing was surprised for her behaviour. However, he thought that perhaps Pauline is trying to say something else. Pauline used to borrow several household things from Mr. Sing and thus she tried hard to get closer to him. Mr. Sing and other members met with Juliet, a writer of tribal life. Maria, an educationist who was well aware of the social life of Bengal, the dowry system and also of the widow problem of India. Jane was an expert in mathematics whereas Ruth was noted for social science and human liberation. She had not married and believed in celibacy. The Course Director, Drake, in the class, gave a detailed description of Australia along with aborigine civilization. Everybody was asked to tell about their own civilization. From these descriptions we find a very good idea of different cultures. When it was Mr. Sing’s turn, he gave a beautiful speech on the ancient culture of India. Mr. Sing used to visit several areas and the picturesque description of those places are given very elaborately and beautifully in the novel
