        abstract = {Contemporary understanding of space often gets confined to the qualities of innovation, physical changes, and tangible constructs. However, the idea of space even beyond these is the ultimate factor of human memory, literature, and experiencing through one's feelings, and it also finds an expression in the culture. This research uses ideas from a variety of philosophical scholars to understand how spaces come alive that are characterized by interconnections, compositions, and negotiations. Furthermore, it explores the impression of the hidden past and identities through writing methods and at the same time, intends how the concepts of mobility, travel, and city life lead to the emergence of in-between, experiential spaces of hybridity. Post- Independence and contemporary India offer us an example to explain how the historical memory gets intertwined with the digital, cultural, and urban manifestations, thus, revealing postcolonial spaces as those which are not only lived but also dynamic and constantly being reimagined. In the end, this article argues that cultural changes, have in many cases, been carried out without having a thorough understanding of their reasons. It makes clear that the coming togetherness of the past and present is contributory in determining the postcolonial experience in the near future.},
