Nostalgia, Inc.

Very nice. Resonates much.

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.

This must be made required reading in Pakistan high schools!

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

i liked reading it.....but my grandparents didnt tell me they had servants.....they were from the indian rural middle calss.....they lived in the village in a big house..with 30 or so chachiss dadis khala and who not......and so were my maternal grandparents in lahore.......but i have heard many people tell this tale......thanx......too bad the readership wasnt much!
