The Life I Saw

This autobiography transcends the author’s life journey from Sargodha, the land of oranges where she spent her early days, through various cities of Punjab and Haryana to Chandigarh, the city beautiful where she currently resides. At the age of twelve, she migrated to independent India along with her freedom fighter father, mother and a younger brother. Way back in 1950s, she was privileged to do post-graduation, an opportunity denied to most girls even today. For thirty-four years, she worked in a male-dominated field of Public Relations in Haryana. In many Jat dominated districts of the state, working was anything but smooth for the non-Jat officers, which she not only endured with dignity and grace but also excelled to reach the position of Joint Director. This autobiography captures the life she saw.
