SAIDA SIDDIQUI

“I have been to so many places, but Lucknow was the best.”

Dr Saida Siddiqui migrated from Lucknow to Karachi in 1957. Saida has never been able to go back to Lucknow, but considers it as her home, and talks of the peepal (fig) tree with shining leaves outside her house, and the Pandit who sat there and used to give children sweets.
