I was born in a small town in Pakistan called Burewala of refugee parents who lost everything in India during and after the 1947 Partition. A few years after his migration to Pakistan, my father found work in the post-war immigration boom in England in 1955 and since he only earned laborer wages, he had to save up and send for his family a few at a time. (Credit was a thing of the future). As he left Pakistan, my mother took her five children to live with her parents in Karachi until we could join dad.
