Frequently asked questions

Do my parents or grandparents need to fill this out themselves?


Not at all. Most people sit with their loved one and ask the questions aloud, then write down the answers for them. It’s all about sharing stories together.

Is the book written in Panjabi or English?


Every question appears in English, Romanised Panjabi, and Gurmukhi. That way, your loved one can read it in the language they’re most comfortable with.

What kind of things does the book ask?


The book covers chapters like childhood in Panjab, migration, raising a family, and legacy. Each prompt is designed to bring out meaningful memories.

We understand that every Panjabi story is unique. Feel free to skip any chapters that don’t apply - even an unfinished book is still a story worth keeping.

Can I personalise the book?


Every copy is made to order and personalised with your loved one’s name on the cover, printed in a beautiful UV finish – because their story deserves to be remembered.

Is it suitable for any religion or background?


Yes – My Panjabi Story is culturally rooted, not religious. The questions are open-ended and work for families of any belief system.

Is it hard to complete?


Not at all. You can go at your own pace, one question at a time. Many families complete it over a few sessions.
