During this time, I got a lot of love from the people of Pakistan. Our subscribers and friends also came to meet us. The 2 days I got to visit Lahore were too less.
I don’t know how long the border distances will remain. The more you say about Pakistan’s buses and trucks, the less it will be. Crazy and colourful. I request the Pakistan government to open more routes for Indians to Gurudwaras and temples and create facilities so that Hindu people can also visit there. They can meet those who were separated from their families in 1947.” The diary shows that Jyoti was learning Urdu along with Hindi.
