What’s it like to move to a country you’ve never been to? Spoke to my mom, Monika, on what it was like to immigrate from Chandigarh, India to Toronto, Canada in 2001. In a largely meandering conversation, including interruptions from Indian takeout delivery, we delve into her experiences, lessons learned and reflections on almost twenty years of being an immigrant.
