Alok Pandey With Inputs From Yusra Askari

For three weeks now, the story of Geeta, a deaf-mute woman who lost her family when she wandered over one of the world's most militarised borders, has captivated both India and Pakistan.

Memories of home are hazy for 22-year-old Geeta, who has been living in a shelter in Karachi since she accidentally crossed over to Pakistan in 2003. But in a four-hour session on Thursday, the hearing and speech impaired woman communicated more about her family than she ever has in 13 years.
