00:14In a social media post, Sonia Gandhi mentioned the small Greek restaurant in Cambridge
00:18where she met Rajiv Gandhi and announced that her book will hit the stands on November 10th.
00:24We leave you with this information. Watch it.
00:32Okay.
00:35I'm going to photograph.
00:38Of course, it was very good looking.
00:44Food in England was awful.
00:46In those days, you didn't have so many restaurants, you know, like you have today.
00:52And so I was constantly looking for a place where I could find some food
00:57which was closer to my kind of food, Italian food in that case.
01:03And then we discovered this place.
01:06It was a Greek restaurant where many students, especially European students, but also Indian students,
01:14used to go for their meals.
01:16And that is then where I met Rajiv in that very restaurant.
01:22When I first met him, I felt almost immediately that, you know, he was someone I would really love to
01:29be with.
01:30And of course, I learned that it was the same for him.
01:34I remember when I first met him, a friend, a common friend introduced us.
01:39Then, you know, we became friends, then going to parties with friends or going to see sites or we went
01:49to a Valentine party where there were lots of students.
01:52He was a very gentle-looking person, of course, he was very good looking, but that gentleness came through.
02:02So that was something which really touched me and struck me.
02:08So that, of course, I'll never forget when I first met him.
