Gratitude fills my heart as I look back on the beautiful evening hosted at the Daga House lawns โ where stories, memories, and emotions blended under one sky.
It was an honour for Sudhamta Foundation, in association with Alka Jalan Foundation and Ahava Communication, to present a special reading by the legendary Aparna Sen from acclaimed film critic and biographer Padmashri Bhawana Somaayaโs deeply personal memoir, โFarewell Karachi โ A Partition Memoir.โ
