Well, its kinda like this. My great grandfather arrived with some other elderly men in NZ by boat via Australia, - unsure of exact year, but I estimate between 1920 and 1930. Later he returned to India and bought back his wife and three sons, one of those is my now deceased grandfather. He went back to India and returned with my grandmother and their child son. That child son was my father. Unsure about my great grandfather, but my grandfather returned to India in 1947 and walked on the salt marches. After that event, they all returned to NZ permanantly and only returned for family visits. My father then went to India and married my mother, and then she came to NZ a few years later - she married my dad at 16 or 17....crazy right. My mother is (was - she is elderly now and a bit lazy in the kitchen) a great cook, and actually despite being surrounded by European food, I prefer Indian flavours.
