Fog

I wasn’t used to the weather

    Interview               Potwari

“It used to snow a lot back then. Lots of snow and fog. Sometimes there’d be so much fog that you couldn’t see anyone through it. That was the time I got asthma because the climate was so different from what I was used to. I still have asthma, but I didn’t have it in Pakistan before I arrived here. Once there was so much fog that I took the wrong path and lost my way home. It was late in the evening so I asked a young boy, “Son, I need to go to Waterloo Street…270 Waterloo Street. He said “Aunty, I’ll take you to your home”. I just couldn’t see my way and it was getting late. There used to be so much fog back then.”
