Families pass on many things from generation to generation: an heirloom, an old-forgotten painting but perhaps the most important are the traditions and values, which have in a way helped us or broke us in these unprecedented times.
One such teaching passed down in this talk is, “Hun jo hoda siga, ho gaya! Agge dee socho!” This, in the Punjabi language, translates to, “What had to happen, has happened! Let us think about what we can do now.”
Reflecting on such values in this time and age is of extreme importance, where countless lives affected have to learn to move on from their various setbacks.
The talk attempts to ask the question of whether showing acts of hope and optimism is being insensitive to the situation at hand and how it is affecting people.
It is also an ode to the many refugee families from India’s partition in 1947, a committee that most people are aware of but may not know intimately enough to appreciate the lessons they learned.
