Moving home again 1980

My passport to India
 

My life started to fall apart , on my return from Russia. I lost my job, I failed to get into a school of fashion and worst of all, my unsuitable relationships which followed the heart breaking, intense four years with my ex-partner, left me to question my maturity, my innocence in the lonely western life I found myself living in London?

I made some mad and hasty decisions in winter of 1980; I decided to leave all my worldly belongings  and  the money from the sale of my flat in the hands of my ex-partner who had moved to Liverpool. Since he was a socialist at heart, I gave him a suitcase full of communist literature, entitled ' from Russia with love' !!

 I purchased one way flight ticket to India, the land of my parents where I had in mind to learn about the Indian culture, the Indian values and find a good Punjabi speaking Indian husband and have six children and live happy ever after!

My hasty actions were also made to make one person happy, my mother!!
