I want to move around in my life, that's my wish
Do you paint? No I don't Do you write? No I
don't Do you read poetry? I read I read books not poetry. I only read. what pops
up in front of my feed But I love to travel. Where do you read? In flight Do you
carry the book with you? I have to read a paper book Even though I read a lot
of stuff online But i always read a book in my hands. Do you read Urdu novels?
Yes I do I also write things in Urdu because some times the script is written
in Roman and I don't understand And day before yesterday I was shooting a video
with Sohail Javed For JPNA 2.
He showed me, a photo of me wriiting the script in
Urdu from 4 years ago. You should keep some old valuable things like scripts
with you Like letters and sending messages. I only talk on calls, not on texting. My mother did her masters in Urdu, Education and Arabics so my Urdu has been
good from the start\ And now I think that the time I spent without my mother my
urdu hasn't been the best so I write it to people now Do you remember the first
the day of your school? My first day of school. Now you might think that is
interview is about me and Urwa because I would go to school because of her I
remember myself very vaguely Even though I had to go a year later but we started
together.
Urwa was going in prep Mama did not believe in play ground. She started
are education with prep and bigger classes like proper studies Now kids are
going to prep after 2.5 years. So now there are so many classes before prep and
I started crying that I wanted to go with Urwa And I think thats when I went to
play ground Because they couldn't have taken me to prep So you remember the
fact that you went with your sister Yes, I think I cried the first time. Do you
remember your first toy? Yes, I think so Did you buy it yourself or were
gifted? The first thing that I ever bought That was a tricycle purple tricycle.
I think I played with my first toy in playgroup the play doe Those were my
first ever. So did you call out your mother or your father first? like what was
the first thing that you said like Urwa? Some children say baba or mama But I
think that I said Urwa I think that I am really obsessed with her. I am
gratefull for having her in my life Do you have a name for her? I call her
"behna". What is life? Family family and the time you spend with them. I always feel that whenever you are in a predicament like even a turbulent
flight the few people that you think about they mean life to you they are life. Now I don't get scared from turbulence because we travel a lot but initially
the only people I thought about are my sibling and my parents those are the
only ones that matter. So what do you have to make in life? Are you going to
make a home for yourself some where? do you have an idea like this?
I think I want to make a home here Would you like to make a home on a hill side, or near a beach? No, I can only go there temporarily. I can't live there I just like to stay close to my family. I cannot even imagine, living somewhere alone Like I told you that isolation always traumatized me not always in a bad way but it has always affected me. I don't like being away from my family like you cannot leave or say goodbye. No Like I have to check my schedule of arrival and return. Do you cry? I think in India, I left Urwa for a long time I would cry there on call. So you are scared of being without family. That is your biggest fear Yeas, I think so Or being without Urwa being without family. What is death? I think I am at peace with the idea of death it doesn't scare me at all.
This is the ultimate departure Thats what I feel for my loved ones. I don't fear it for myself Like I said we are in a turbulent flight and when you think something bad about it you don't think about yourself No one thinks like this. The first thing that comes in my mind is Urwa, Mom Parents Siblings And are you close to your dad? I am but I am much more close than my mother. I am close to him Who is more close to him? Your brother? Now that he lives with them in Sydney, he is closer to them Among all three of us, he is closer. How is your father? He doesn't interfere in our lives much He lets us be which is a great liberty He keeps an eye?
I am sure he does but he doesn't tell us that I am sure he does because he gets updated by Mama. If he gets informed that I am unwell he makes a call to let us know that he is worried but mama knows about every second Mama knows that you are interviewing me right now She knows everything, my flight, my clother She knows everything about our activities And if you don't tell her, she understands her self Yes and I think we can never hide from her and this bothers me and again. we have had that friendly relation with her all our lives Isn't that amazing? it is I now realize that I always have a friend in her Always Urwa's life, much like mine is very busy but mom is always looking forward to are calls And always wanting to have a video chat with us And looking forward to us visiting her So this is a blessing that there is someone who is always looking forward to you.
That you matter the most to them It also
sets you free because you don't have to please them It makes you feel so
important that there is someone who cares for you its not easy, and because I
am not a mother. so I don't know how she thinks but I don't know why she is so
selfless That she only thinks about us And this is how I have seen her. She only
thinks about us Even when we used to go to school, she would drive us there. She
used to know all about my book and syllabus. She would know everything its
unbelievable And she knows about all of us equally.
How did you get your name? I
told you the subjects she mastered in She told us that she collected all these
names. when she was studying And what about this Hocane and Hussain. This was my
stupidity I think its really interesting. It is intriguing Now it is Your father
didn't mind it. These small things never mattered And only you have it? Urwa has
it too My brother doesn't He thinks its ridiculous I was in 7 and Urwa and I
were in the same school Brother was in a different school. I was looking at my
attendance register.
Everyone one had similar names Like some names are common
So I would be proud that i had a different name But I realized that there are
so many surnames of Hussain. So I wrote an application to my 7th grade class
teacher. I did my father's signatures on it. I wrote that we wanted to change our
name's spellings You wrote it and signed it? Yes I did I gave it to her and
made sure that she took it very seriously that my grandfather was behind this
She bought it She bought and changed it. It was only when I had to get my matric
certificate that Mom told me to get my spellings right. Then I got it removed
Because I didn't have the guts to tell the truth to my teacher So I told her
that now I will only use my first name.
So my degrees have Mawra on them only It
doesn't even have a surname. Will you study further? Never say never Studying is
my getaway. I like working hard and seeing the results. Do we see a PHD in
future? Maybe a bar degree turning into a barrister or maybe a LLM Not right now. I asked my dean that should I do LLM? She told me that I why was I doing this
as I already have a career that I love And if Mom ask you to do it? Then I will
do it She is always happy with our work She feels proud.
