On 12th April 2018 received an invitation to the wedding of my friend Ravi's daughter to take place in Pune on 26th December. I last visited him and his family in December 1989. My planned journey was interrupted when my passport and cameras were stolen from the train on the way to Kanpur. So I decided against going into the Punjab. It took sometime to obtain a temporary passport from the British Embassy in New Delhi.
