My paternal grandfather's name was Tej Bhan Goel. I believe that he owned a hardware store.
I was born after the partition in India in Batala, Punjab in my maternal grandparents' house on 25 July 1948.

I had talked to my uncle about this house. His memory was a bit hazy. He said that it was in Puran Nagar and was on a 30 marla plot. It was opposite a big white kothi. He mentioned Paris Road and an orange grove owned by Bashir Ahmed in the vicinity.
