The uncertainty surrounding the fate of his family makes him retrace his steps through the same 'bloody' journey. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis abiding sense of tragedy resonates as he recollects the events around which this book is set; the building of new borders, the chaos that ensued and his unplanned journey to a new beginning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe present crumbles into the river of time\u003cbr\u003eAnd returns as the future on the other side \u003cbr\u003eDistant, unreachable, unknown \u003cbr\u003eNow is where we are born and then we die\u003cbr\u003eSlick with the silt of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOwning our story is the bravest thing we can do. And, this book is an attempt to do that.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor years, I have dreamt of narrating historical events in the way I thought they should be told: complex, human-centric stories with unique plots that ‘impact’ us even today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is, in fact, emotions that train us in the art of being human.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe study of emotions during the Partition 1947 is a fascinating topic, and we approach this significant historical event from different angles. This book testifies the importance of emotions in a factual narrative, nurturing empathy and enhancing our social and emotional selves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany discussions, conversations and moments of awed silence with Syed Sardar Ahmad helped us compile necessary research, based on which we weaved this story. What always stood out in his narrative was the absence of despair or dismay. The non-fiction is easy to sift from the fiction as it is highlighted in Syed Sardar Ahmed’s own words.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI welcome you to feel this divide of 1947 as you read on…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHalima Khan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Halima Khan - the curator of this book\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHalima Khan does her best writing while sitting on the uncomfortable dining table chair.
