Thanks
My wonderful son and daughter, Omar & Aleena who make me wake up every day with joy and pride in my heart.
My mom and dad who raised me to believe I can do anything I want and be whatever I want. Whatever I am today is because of your encouragement and support.
My sisters, Safina, Wasima and Qasima, who make my life so beautiful and meaningful by their mere presence. Your unconditional love, trust and encouragement keeps me going through the toughest of times.
All my nieces and nephews and my surrogate daughters who fill my heart with so much love!
My amazing “sisters of my heart” friends in Los Angeles who fill my life with utmost happiness (you know who you are and how much you mean to me!!) My KGNA/AKK’s, my friends in Kashmir and in all the parts of the world for enriching my life. I thank you all for your endless love, for your unconditional encouragement and appreciation for what I do. Your support helps me keep going!!
Lastly, all the people who have worked hard to preserve Kashmiri culture and language. People who diligently and with persistence create content on social media; all the poets who write in Kashmiri, all the teachers who teach Kashmiri and all the artists who compose and sing Kashmiri songs.
