Taking the atta to the chakki
waiting in line for the kerosene
working relentlessly
like a mule
picking up
altaf razia
reshma
moin
mohomed
zoeb
from the school
cooking
for miya
his mother
his sisters
his brothers
her hands
totally full
first day
of the holy month
of ramzan
she does
not loose her cool
in the silhouette
of the hijab
her life going
round and round
a whirlpool
Allah provides
she told me
the only
golden rule
