9:07 Tuesday Feature

Over the last twenty years or so hundreds of mansions have appeared in the Kharian region of the Punjab. Each mansion represents a successful migration to the West - where families have worked hard and saved hard to achieve their dream - owning a mansion back in the Punjab. But they live there for only a few weeks a year because in reality, their homes are now in the western countries where their children were born and have grown up.

Lately with Karyn Hay is a late night radio show on RNZ National, with an eye on live events, an ear for music, a great sense of humour and a genuine interest in people and their stories.
