A journey through mountains, mosquitoes, and nations — this chapter follows Tirath’s search for belonging across continents until she realizes home was never lost, just waiting. From racist glances in Toronto to bed bugs in the Aryan Valley, each stop teaches what beauty hides and integrity reveals. Along the way, a Sikh soldier’s kindness cuts through fear, showing that safety isn’t found in scenery but in character. In the end, Punjab — flawed yet full of heart — becomes not her escape, but her answer.
