The family heritage!

This passport issued 1928 by the British Empire in India is a testament of a proud generation of merchants and bankers (shroff) that upheld and encouraged strong ethics and values, learnt multiple languages, including English of the British Empire, understood and blended with multiple cultures and customs, travelled widely and adapted to a changing world. These classical generation lived a normal life yet fought for democratic values, liberty and a better world for future generations. Thinking of these good old days; still wonder on how they travelled, where they stayed, and how they built relationships and interacted, how they explored, trusted, and exchanged goods, services and money all of it without technology but strong social network. I can imagine and value the power of social networks and physical contacts, mutual trust and respect for humans as powerful and long lasting.
