I hereby declare that none in my family is a high profile personality. No CSP officers, no Army officers, No professors or scientists…
I belong to a LOWER - lower middle class family. My family was NOT a bigshot when they migrated to Pakistan in 1947. My grandfather was a government employee in pre-partition india and he also owned some agricultural land (just a tiny bit - No zamindar or wadera shadera). My father was 17 when he migrated to Pakistan, during that migration, my grandfather died fighting on the border while he was defending a caravan with women and children. Four others of my family died in that encounter.
In Pakistan there was no place for my family to stay. My father was the OLDEST surviving male member at that time. He some how managed to find a small 2 room house for the whole family.He studied privately, did small odd jobs during that initial phase and also managed to get the agricultural land transferred from India. That was the only source of income for our family. Slowly and gradually he was able to build a house in karachi, a smallish 240 sq. yd house in Nazimabad, where my mother and younger siblings still live. We never went to fancy schools, never had enough money to go for yearly vacations to Murree and Islamabad.
So with this totally non-mentionable background, how many of you still want to be my friends and talk to me
My grandfather (dad’s dad) was in Pakistan Army. He passed away due to a heart attack. My dad was about 16 at that time, the oldest male in his family. So he took care of the family. There were times when his family didn’t have 2 meals a day to eat. Then he moved to Saudia and sent a lot of money back. They built houses in Pakistan. Then he got married and came to US. My grandfather had some zameen in a village but my dad signed it off to his brothers. Now we are in US, trying to start all over again here.
In Pakistan, we belonged to middle class. We did not live in a huge bangla or anything.
