Indeed a memorable one. Well you have not mentioned much about the place. It seemed kind of short. I want to know more about that place 'Brailley'. How was it? Did you tour more? any other places you remember visiting beside your Mom's birth place. I soooooo .......want to go to India visit my parents's birth place and lot more. Its so bad Pakistani govt. issues visa with a condition to visit any and only three cities of India. And I on the contrary have a huge list of wonderful places to see in India. I need to have multiple visits to satiate my exploration of India.
I did not understand this sentence, I mean the security guard part was fine but why the color of sky? Was it different on the other side of Wahga?
"But everything looked the same except for the color of the sky or the security guards posted on both sides of the border."

Two shortest stories told for long time from ages.
Story No.1-----He asked her to marry as he loves her she said no, then both went home and lived happily for all life.
Story No2...... He asked her to marry she said why ? But she did and both lived unhappily.

One can change outcomes and all good stories.

I like the stories with happy endings. All of you came back alive; what more one could ask.

well i think the easiest way to write a content without anybody criticising and every body accepting warmly is ....write any thing about your mother. with due respect I dont think there is any creativity in this article.

saman, great article and its good that you stopped where you stopped. The harami hingbuze would have done your ma-behen eik if you had continued insulting their Bharat mata by describing the poverty, filth and human misery that you saw there.

BTW, did you notice the Apple iMac tucked in the dhoti of the rickshaw puller, you baised Pakistani!

Those Indians attacked and finish of story when they knew they are from Pakistan. and story begins again.
Arjun and Laddu were were watching.
Eternal cycles and journeys.Same Pathos journey from nothing to nothing.
When you finish once go back and think about yourself what happens.

Beautiful. The journey continues, and I hope that Surraiiya Bi is healthy and strong to make a lot more trips like that to proudly introduce her grandkids (hopefully with washed faces this time) to their great aunts and uncles and cousins.

Loved it.
