2. “I was not born deaf and mute. It was when I was just 2 years
old that I had measles and after that perceptive deafness.
There was no ENT specialist that I was not taken to, and the
reality had to be faced. I was sent to a deaf school ABSA
(Anjuman Behbood-e-Samat-e-Atfal ) and from grade 1 to X.
I excelled in all subjects. I clenched 1st position in the SSC
Exam of the Karachi board. Then I got admission in the
INDUS VALLEY SCHOOL OF ARTS AND ARCHITECTURE
and graduated in FINE ARTS. I've had 30 solo and group
exhibitions to date , here, in IZMIR,ISTAMBUL, Turkey

in many competitions in Pakistan and abroad and always won
a first prize.”
