Thanks much, all. Doesn`t seem to be too much of a readership for this one.

This must be made required reading in Pakistan high schools!

palatial kothi having sprawling gardens and long line of servants..this is what i have heard from every...yes every amma abba who migrated from india. (including mine..although i have seen some pictures as well and couldn`t find any thing palatial..!)

The tales of unclaimed property (evacue property) is another story most commonly repeated. I remember one of my uncle actually visited India to claim some!! but in the end got nothing.

Very nice. Resonates much.
