I read the personal ads in the Indian magazine, people looking for partners like a king and a queen, the men are always handsome, ladies with gsoh, how attractive they all were was just a rumour. I replied to one which I thought might be fun, we both agreed to meet to see what could be done: She said, 'Your white, not brown.' I said, 'That you must look lovely with your hair down.' She asked: 'Do you speak Hindi, Tamil or Punjabi?' I said, 'No, but you're speaking English - that's all I need to know,' She asked, 'Do you own a house, have a good job and a car?' I said, 'Yes,' to all but there was no bar. We went for a ride in the country: We said, 'Yours or mine.' We knew that it was best if we tried them one at a time.
