The Strength of Their Past : Naani Pitaji's Journey from Partition to Pandemic

We have all tried to walk in our elders’ shoes but have we ever attempted to look through their glasses? I know I hadn’t until Covid-19 started wreaking havoc across the world and locked us all in...together. The partition of India and Pakistan was a dark moment for both the countries with its violent repercussions affecting the dislocated and distraught families like yours and mine the most. Here’s a story of a partition survivor and how he made me and my family into who we are by being the superhero that he is. Join Pitaji (my grandfather) and his tabbar (family) on a journey of hardship joy misery contentment gratitude and everything else that life has given us. It’s also my journey of self-discovery. Tag along and you might find yourself somewhere along the way too.
