So I said, the best way for me to respond to this is to keep wearing jeans.

And yeah, and it's also about women making choices for themselves.

It should not be someone else deciding it for them.

Yeah, I mean, it was hard.

And sometimes the best, you know, protection for me was that my parents were just not with me at college.

You know, it's like, they just don't know.

And that's the best thing ever.

I loved my college time, because I was away from home.

And this was the first time that I had been on my own.

And I was so curious about life.

And I know that these things sound

quite basic, like climbing a rooftop or hanging out with friends or staying up late.

These are not like some big, crazy things.

But to me, it felt like I was climbing a mountain, that this was something huge that I was doing in my life because I was making my own choices.

And I felt that nobody was watching me.

And that was such a relief.

But yeah, when my parents read the book, then they found out that there was quite a lot happening here.

In Pakistan, it's very focused on sciences and then learning English and math.

A lot of it is like Islamic studies, social studies, Pakistan studies.

But that was about it.
