Interesting..there is a tinge of numbness and ..disappointment in this article..personally I`ve always believed that when one immigrates from one country to another..we are mentally left with a frozen condensed picture of what was once home. You see this on chowk like any other place..you have Indian and Pak expats who are still stuck in the old days of anti pak or anti India..it`s like they are frozen in the past ( you will probably see a few of those people responding as well and you might understand what I mean)..remembering slights and hurts of a bygone time which have no relevance to the present.

Readjusting to Pakistan is an achievement in itself, because you are not a cog in the wheel in that system..you basically have to create your own wheel and world to manage!
