_**About the Author:**_
 Born in West Punjab and raised in Karachi, Partap Aggarwal
was, on August 15, 1947, blown into the wind as one of millions called the refugees.
After a couple of years of wandering he found moorings in Batala, a small town in
Indian Punjab, just six kilometers south of the Pakistan border. Here, he went to
a college that was small enough for the students to actually interact with the professors
as friends. In his third year, he attended a Quaker seminar in Kodaikanal where 
for two weeks he interacted with Indian, British and American people deeply influenced
by Gandhi. This changed him forever and made him gravitate towards village reconstruction
work. For five years he taught at Colgate University in upstate New York after which
he returned to his roots in India. Now 76, he finds he has woken up to the “awful
weakness of not knowing how to relate with (his) family and friends”. Hence he has“
re-enrolled (himself) in the school of real life”.

and joyfully drinking nectar. He was so fascinated that he spent much of his time
watching and studying the charming insects….”
