My father was born in Karachi in 1925, which prompted me to watch this short film, which I enjoyed. My father also lived in Lahore and Peshawar and whilst the country has witnessed many changes, the people and culture, I feel certain, are very much the same. I have visited India several times on business and Goa with my young son, but not Pakistan (yet!). Congratulations, Sehar, on your film and good luck in your chosen career!
