The author was named Gnanarajan Enoch Daniel at birth. His first name was dropped when he started school.

 

As a teenager, the time of breaking free and rebellion, his father feared he might discard another name. So, one of the last words, as he was leaving for boarding school was, “Please never lose Enoch Daniel, even if you give up Thomas it is alright.”

 

Why? Live like Enoch, who was taken to heaven without dying. Daniel, who was true to God even before kings.
