The summer holidays were great fun spent in the cool climes of Panchgani, Matheran and Deolali. The children’s maternal grandfather lived in Alibaug, and the Al Arfaj family spent a lot of time in this green paradise. Noura and Sheikha’s maternal grandmother Salma Bawazir, participated in the political movement with Gandhiji after he returned from South Africa. Their maternal uncle Rashid, a Bollywood film producer was married to Dilip Kumar’s niece. The Kuwaiti family conversed in Hindi and Urdu, the womenfolk wore sarees and their Arabic dress. The children studied Arabic in a special school opened by Sheikh Abdullah Salem at Church Gate. In the 1960s, the family shifted to Kuwait when the Emir of Kuwait asked his people to return and rebuild the country. The family relocated but they kept alive their connections and love for India. Sheikha, who was born in Kuwait was attracted by India’s spiritual wealth. She went on to cofound Harmony House, a centre for meditation and Raja Yoga in Kuwait.
