About Aman
“I started writing these idioms and proverbs on a sheet when my father, sister-in-law, or cousins uttered them. To keep track of the wittiness of these lines, I wrote them on notepads, scribbled on receipts, and notes on my phone. I realized that these proverbs are to be preserved with translation. Made with the hope of being a memory for myself when my parents' generation is no longer with us, I wanted to share this with many homes that share the same values for Punjabi language preservation."
“With a fervor to spread culture, whimsical flutter flaps of magic are born.
I come to present the Punjabi ancestral language of proverbs to the doorsteps of your homes.”
