Love, or a British passport?
This could have been a nice love story if not for this bit towards the end of the piece:
Even cold November rain.

Subhiya's father has accused Ashwani of marrying his daughter only to obtain a British passport. Is this true, I ask him. He replies "Yes" just as Subhiya interrupts.Sigh. Some would argue, of course, that a British passport lasts forever, unlike love. That is a cynical view, but I am more cynical: nothing lasts forever.
Even cold November rain.
