Gita

Leila kertoo Gitaan, että hän nyt määrittelee aikaa, ei kuukauden tai päivän, vaan nuorten vuosien ajan, jotka pysyvät läpi. Päätöksentekoon on tullut virtuaalisesti onnistuvaa. Mutta he löysivät asioita, jotka auttoivat hieman pysyvää huumoa. Tämä internet-päätöksentekoon on todella pysyvää.

If I had internet, I'd at least be practicing my English grammar with ChatGBT. There's this girl, she'd been in prison. She wrote, in Iran we don't say I love you, we say let me fix your VPN. From one day to the next, it's a roller coaster. Will the ceasefire hold? Will negotiations restart? Will the internet come back?

When Gita calls, it doesn't even ring. She tries many times. Nothing. She has to wait for her sister to call her, as before. Hi, how are you?

He eventually talk about their imaginary island. These days I no longer keep my phone on silent. I check it constantly. Several times a day I turn the sound off and on again just to make sure it's on.

It feels like I am always waiting for a call. From Shiraz.

You've been listening to the documentary from the BBC World Service. When Shiraz Calls was presented by me, Caroline Hawley. The producers were Adele Armstrong and Surush Pagzad. The sound designer was Peregrin Andrews. The editor was Claire Fordham.
