“The smallest thanks is always worth more than the effort it takes to give it.” (Unknown).

Thank you uncle Jai for all the years of service in your capacity as photographer of The Fiji Times!

Veteran photographer Jai Prasad was farewelled by his colleagues at The Fiji Times newsroom.

After so many years of photography, uncle Jai finally made up his mind to spend some time with his family.

Uncle Jai has always strived to ensure that his photographs were creative, normally taking them from many angles and directions.

He is leaving with fond memories and will be missed by his colleagues.

Uncle Jai’s contribution to The Fiji Times can only be felt by those who have been associated with this newspaper for ages.

He was ethical when it came to work and always tried to be the first to get to the assignment on hand. He had a unique style of enthusiasm and was determined to get the best picture while inspiring and entertaining his reporters.

Uncle Jai has left a vacuum but I am confident other photographers working for The Fiji Times will quickly master his footsteps.

All the best uncle Jai in your future pathway with the family and yes, a happy and blessed retirement!
