They were a large Indian family, they enjoyed travel, they enjoyed taking India to the world.  They had one big dream, to enter every single international airport, from Kansas to Kinshasa, and Vietnam to Van Couver but to never exit. Their motto, “we can check-in anytime we want, but we will never leave”.

It didn’t matter where in the airports they would “set-up shop”, be it the check-in areas, the terminals, the tarmac, immigrations and customs, the aerobridges, the baggage claims, the security areas, the hangars, the buses, even the runway was fair game for them. The head of the family Pakwan Bhojan went by many aliases —  Thepla Thanawalla, Sambhar Swaminathan, Idli Ignatius, Bhaat Balwan Kothmir, Dhaniya Dalamal Debra, Acchar Papad, Maharaj Methi, Garba Goradia, Raas Rasmalai , Bhangra Butter Chicken etc.
