I was born in Nakuru and moved to Nairobi in 1958. I joined Eastleigh Secondary School in 1960 and left in 1962 to join East African Railways as Mechanical Engineer Apprentice. I then moved to work for Maida Limited as a fully qualified Centre Lathe Turner. I was motorbike mad. So while I worked as an engineer I repaired motorbikes and scooters. In 1966 I met my childhood sweetheart Tajinder after 8 years.

She then moved to England in 1968 and I joined her and my own family here in England. I worked for an engineering company in Leytonstone. We got married in 1971 and have three beautiful daughters. I moved to Luton in 1973 and made lots of Gujarati friends who are from Kenya like myself. I worked as an engineer in Luton for a few years and then I joined a family business as a maintenance engineer. I also run a small building business of my own. I am looking forward to meeting all my colleagues and going down memory lane.
