Schmooze about the book?
In October 2013, a Pakistani colleague of mine travelled from the Middle East to India for the liver-transplant surgery of his eight-year-old daughter. It was the only hope for her survival, after a total organ failure due to a congenital condition. The Indian visa came after a three-week long wait, when the family had nearly given up hope of obtaining it. After their arrival in India, going through a strict security regime, which is customary for any visiting Pakistani, often caught them off-guard. This drove them to despair, but when all seemed lost, some understanding officials came to their rescue. Every year, hundreds of Pakistanis come to India for life saving medical treatments. Due to repeated terror attacks on Indian soil, masterminded by an unconcerned Pak Army, more often than not, their passage to India is mired in long-drawn security checks. Where time is of the essence, senseless acts of violence put the lives of the ailing at risk. This drove me to write Unforeseen.
