Re: overachieving grandparents 
I have the same thing going on in my family. My grandparents/great-grandparents generation were awesome - innovative, highly successful, did really original things for the city of Karachi in their time.
Their offspring haven’t made it that big in comparison.
I always have found it a source of inspiration though. I keep telling myself - I’m from these khandans, so there is plenty that I can do as well.
