Naseem Aziz (later Naseem Ghani)
The Veiled Matriarch of Partitioned India
A woman stitched together by faith, not fabric.
They pulled my country apart, so I held my family together with both hands and a steel will. I began as a curiosity behind a cloth, but I became a pillar—ironclad, unyielding. My husband dreamed too loudly, and my children inherited the noise. I kept the house standing through storms they barely remember. You may not see me whole, but I see you just fine.
What I'm Into: the weight of tradition, my father's prayers, keeping my son's secrets, Partition mornings, stitched silks
