No. 1. Those were the days – stories of the past, present & future

We are a part of the story that began much before us

Parents are those chapters in our book, which have to close for the new chapters to continue, but the story began with them, and they are always there! Yes, we are a part of the story that began much before us!

No. 1. This is the first post on my new blog. I’m going to try to write what I always wanted to do, write a story, my story, our story. Being the wordy person in the family, there has always been a pressure on me, put by everyone in the family, especially my sister-in-law, our Manju dear, that I will write a history of our family, our parents, their lives, and the events that shaped them, and us. So here I am, just setting this new blog up, to do exactly that.

It is not a chronicled, a date and day type of history of what I have been told had happened, but what I imagine had happened, as it is my view of how and why certain things and events had happened.

Born and brought up in India, where I spent a few decades of my life, before migrating to Australia, and starting all over again. And while doing so discovering writing again, and writing, about everything and anything that inspires me. mainly writing in English, I also express myself in Hindi, and Urdu and Punjabi, the languages in which my childhood memories, fantasies of youth, my academic and other ponderings, find expression. And that is what I write!
