    About this ebook

    On the coldest night of the 20th Century in the UK, 12 December 1981, a cross-section of the Indian diaspora are deplaned on their way 'home' to Bombay to which they were headed with diverse and momentous objectives. London's Heathrow Airport brims over with confusion, family resentments, hidden passions, secret grief and prejudices as the would be travellers deal with disappointment and frustrated travel plans.
