Ved Mehta – born to a Hindu Punjabi family in Lahore of British India – has the chance to revisit his childhood home after thirty years. It has been thirty years since Partition, since a communal division of two countries, and so, what he might encounter in a house he hasn’t stepped into since he was a child is anybody’s guess.

Will the house still be standing? Will it be the same? Does he want it to be the same?

Read on as Ved Mehta finds the answers to these questions while being amused, more than a little surprised and, most of all, humbled.
