THE RHYTHM OF MY SOUL

This book is kaleidoscope of the lives of Pakistani women livingtheir daily livesBut I had to fi nd the voice to do so in fact I had not only to fi nd avoice in a literary sense. I had to learn to speakfi rst of all acknowledgingthat the Pakistani womens experiences had never been represented oracknowledged. We are not recognized for who we are. We needed avocabulary to bring us out of the shadows.My choice of these particular women was the peculiar mixtureof fragility and courage I sensed in them and a willingness to sharetheir experiencesitially they felt they had nothing of any consequence to say. I havelived a very ordinary life nothing special that is worth mentioning wastheir initial response but as their stories began to unfold revealing a sagaof silent metamorphosis; their journey towards self discovery had begun.They had a world to say and the world needed them to say it.
