'Laali akhiyaan di dasdi hai, roye assi vi, roye tussi vi (the redness in our eyes shows that you have cried and so have we)'.

My mother's family was from Rawalpindi and my father's from Sargodha. Though I didn't have to live through the pain of the Partition, I have always been moved to tears when talking about it with someone," says the accomplished jazz singer from Delhi, who is trained in Indian music, and is also known for The Sufi Gospel Project.
