Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

This year we came over to England from Africa - so first impression of England was this suburban town, the majority of habitants were Jewish; close community, just like our Indian community. Most of my friends were Jewish. The atmosphere and smells were of Jewish cooking.  My friends' fathers were also businessmen, so I related to them.  During my school days, I read Anne Frank's Diary, I am David and watched Fiddler on the Roof on television, I understood where they came from. My first home in England was in Edgware and where my mother still lives. It still holds happy memories of my childhood..It has since changed drastically, but I will always consider it home..
