Call us naive, but we happily called the number only to hear a recorded message that went on and on without going anywhere. We finally hung up in frustration. Noorani hastens to add that the story reflects on him and in no way lessened his love affair with Canada. I really like the Canadian people. The warmth I have received is overwhelming at times.
People keep a certain distance, but they are caring.
More so than other countries I have visited. Noorani and Sabrina were raised in Bombay, now called Mumbai, on the west coast of India. He worked in advertising and marketing and Sabrina as a secretary and executive assistant. They always knew they wanted their two children to have the advantage of a western university education but faced currency restrictions in moving directly from India to North America. In 1992 they moved to the Middle East, finally settling in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
