ForâÂu00c2u0080Âu00c2u0088families that lived in and around Lahore before migrating to India in 1947, a mention of the city still unleashes a flood of bittersweet memories. Barely 50km from Amritsar, Lahore, with its vibrant Punjabi ethos, is a poignant reminder of how political borders can seldom act as cultural barricades. Growing up in Daryaganj in Old Delhi, where many migrants from Pakistan settled after Partition, Akshay Anand Kohli too was brought up on a healthy diet of stories about Lahore, where his grandmother hailed from. Four years ago, he wrote and directed I Bo Kaattey, a play based in Delhi and Lahore, set in the times of Partition. With new venues for experimental productions mushrooming in Mumbai, the play is back in a grander avatar of a Hindustani musical, together with a food festival to give the audience a taste of flavours from Lahore.
