Christmas came in June this year with a feast of samosas at the Home Hardware store in West Vancouver.
Azim and Nawaz Virani brought their holiday tradition forward as a gesture of appreciation to customers and friends and to soften the news that, after 30 years in business together, the brothers are retiring.
Their story began a very long time ago in India, in the state of Gujarat, and continued through the generations until the turn of the last century.
Around 1900, in a transfer of population engineered by the British Empire, the Viranis and the Amershis, the maternal branch of the family, (though the families did not know each other at the time) immigrated to East Africa.
