“Why are people okay with not walking? Does Father not miss his daily walks to the shrine and his shop? What about Mother and her long walk to her parents' home? Does Bobeh not get bored now that she can't kill time watching people walk on the streets? What happened to my sister who lived her life outside; going to college with her friends, walking long distances to make umpteen visits to her tailor? I miss playing hopscotch on the streets. I miss walking in the courtyards and the run to buy kyencza. Why can't I play hide-and-seek in with Mogli's daughter in our courtyard again? Who walks in the by-lanes, on the bridges, outside the school? Who can walk to the bakeries? These are not built for walking.” — Farah Bashir
Why are people okay with not walking?
Does Father not miss his daily walks to the shrine and his shop?
What about Mother and her long walk to her parents' home?
Does Bobeh not get bored now that she can't kill time watching people walk on the streets?
What happened to my sister who lived her life outside; going to college with her friends, walking long distances to make umpteen visits to her tailor?
I miss playing hopscotch on the streets.
I miss walking in the courtyards and the run to buy kyencza.
Why can't I play hide-and-seek in with Mogli's daughter in our courtyard again?
Who walks in the by-lanes, on the bridges, outside the school?
Who can walk to the bakeries?
These are not built for walking.
