:55:00
Srinagar TV’s director was chief guest
at my college’s annual function.

:55:04
Like everyone, he loved my dancing.
:55:06
On stage, when he handed me
the first prize...

:55:09
...I started chatting with him.
And he said:

:55:12
‘sufi, you have as much zip in your talk
as zap in your dance."

:55:15
I said, "That’s true."
:55:16
He said, "Why not work at our TV station? "
I said yes, so here I am.

:55:21
From that day on,
Srinagar TV is Sufiya Parvez!

:55:26
Stop staring at yourself and look at this.
:55:29
Abba and Ammi.
:55:33
They looked all over for you.
:55:37
When they couldn’t find you,
they told me that...

:55:41
But I never believed them.
I knew that as long as...

:55:43
...Shankracharya and
Hazratbal were intact...

:55:45
...nothing could happen to my Altaaf.
:55:48
Still standing? Why don’t you sit?
:55:51
Sir, this is Sufiya Parvez’s chair.
Tell me, where did you go off to?

:55:57
I didn’t go anywhere. The police took me.
:55:59
To jail?
:56:01
An orphanage.
:56:03
Then a police officer took me home
as his adopted son.

:56:06
Why didn’t you visit me?
:56:08
I was going to, but that very week
he was transferred to Assam.

:56:12
Why didn’t you write to me?
:56:15
I did. I wrote many letters...
:56:20
...some on paper, some in my heart.
:56:25
But I couldn’t mail them.
:56:26
Why? No post office in your Assam?
:56:31
I was afraid. What if there was no reply?
:56:35
Then?
:56:37
l"d have thought that you...
:56:39
That Sufi had died and gone to heaven?
:56:42
Even if l"d gone to heaven,
l"d have left you my address.

:56:45
There’s another place people go
besides heaven...

:56:48
To hell? L"d never go there.
:56:52
You worry about yourself.
Show me your hand.

:56:54
My hand?
:56:56
I won’t bite it, l"ll just read it.
