California Dreamin' : A 19-year Old Indian Sikh's Memoir: Journey to California, Romance, Trials & Tribulations

California Dreamin is about my journey to America for higher studies in early sixties and my difficult first 2 years. On the way I had a great shipboard romance with Kavita, a tall Indian woman. We parted in Italy,and we were heartbroken. Before we could meet in America she had to rush back to India because Grandmother had a heart attack. Later she visited with her mother. The highlight was her trying on a bikini. What a beautiful sight--voluptuous breasts, curvy body, long legs! It was huge turn-on and later we enjoyed passionate lovemaking. Love of my life couldn't stay and had to return to India. I wondered if I'd see her again. College in Indiana was great, but I couldn't handle snow and California was calling! Driving there in an old car was adventurous. Discrimination was high against a turbaned Sikh, and no decent jobs were available. Finally I got a job at a packinghouse. It was hard keeping my head above water while studying at Fresno State. Where's Kavita? Are we destined to be together?
