A Doll Called Windu


Australians come from over 200 countries according to the 2001 census. Each of these groups has its own cultural diversity.

It is hard to live in Australia when your name consists of twenty-two letters and it is not a familiar Aussie name therefore I change my name to Theresa Jackson. "How do you spell your first name?" They still ask. I always say :"Theresa just like Mother Theresa and the surname is Jackson like Michael Jackson." Within 2 minutes the spelling is done, so simple and easy, not complicated at all.

This Patsy type doll from the 1930s has been repainted into a new doll just like me having been a few days to become an Australian citizen. I received a brown doll as a present from my mom when I was 8 years old. The doll was given the name Windu which in Sanskrits language means eight. Unfortunately I lost that beautiful doll a long time ago and luckily I got this Windu-look-alike doll a few days ago from e-bay. What a magnificent doll!
