"I am a shy and reserved man,” 80-year-old Sion resident Rajnikumar Shah states curtly at the outset of our conversation. Ask the retired chemical engineer what he plans to present at a cultural programme later today, and he begins to open up. “Garba, and a bit of bhangra. I surprised myself this time. I hope I get the steps right,” he laughs.
