I was listening to his heart for the first time

    Interview               Urdu & English

“I used to wait for his cassette, and I used to wait for the postman wondering when he would turn up and when he would give me the cassette. So, I was waiting and waiting then the postman came and he’d have like a registry, it’s like a big parcel, So, I opened and I just listened to it straight away, and it was just the feeling, it’s just, ummm… I can’t, I can’t describe those feelings… it was like I am listening to him for the first time, it’s like I am listening what is in his heart for the first time, and what he thinks about me. It was just an amazing feeling,

I can’t describe right now what I felt when I listened to his cassette first time. So, I thought that there is somebody else who loves me that much. It’s just I couldn’t believe that there is a person who loves me that much. So, this was his first cassette, So, this thing didn’t stop there and it just going on and on and on, for I think, for a year, two years or three years, I don’t know, I am not sure for how long, but it continued for so many years this cassette thing.”
