Awww, thank you for your kind, sweet words!

By the way, I'm in awe of your energy levels as I think being a doctor is such a demanding profession - yet you still make time to write and nurture your creativity and self expression. Do you also write in Urdu?

I am really keen to stop the assimilationist effects of my upbringing in the monolingualism pushed withiin the U.K educational system, so teaching myself to read and writein Urdu these days.

I must add, the religious fundamentalism of most Pakistani Muslims put me off learning Urdu but then I came across a bilingual book of poems by Pakistani women poeets called, ' We Sinful Women' translated and edited by Rukhsana Ahmed.

Wishing you happiness and much good energy!
