Uncle From Saudi Arabia

He wore a long white thawb and I wondered whether he was a priest or an Arab. On long conversations I found him quite interesting and he had many stories to share having lived in Saudi for most of his life. He said Sindhis were the most peace loving people who never interfered with state politics..they were only interested in making money..they were focussed that way. 

But I was more interested in knowing the food, life styles and culture of Sindhis who lived in Karachi before partition.. he was only ten when he had migrated during the partition.


The memory was distant..almost faint...

All he remembered clearly was eating papad during his childhood..the spicy roasted papad....the taste that he still relished during all meals of the day.....
