A young Indian artist met a Swedish tourist in New Delhi, and painted her
portrait in the 1970's. They formed an immediate bond and got married in PK
Mahanadia's ancestral village. When the love of his life, Charlotte von
Schedvin, had to go back to Sweden after a few weeks, he worked on a plan to
sell his few possessions, purchased a used bicycle, and traveled 8000 kilometers
to reunite with her. Over the course of five months PK traveled by bicycle
through Pakistan, Afghanistan and Europe, and reunited with Charlotte after a
year and a half apart.
Their story is a testament to the power of love to bind us across all manner
of barriers.
