Learning to remember, learning to believe LIVES OF OTHERS | Zahra Patel, whose name means bright and shining, had known difficulty and has overcome it with faith
Zahra Patel has walked down to the petrol pump near Jora Girja on Lower Circular Road to take me to her home. It is in a lane that branches off from the main road. She lives in a small two-roomed flat in a building that houses many families. Zahra, who is 20, is a quiet, soft-spoken person with her petite frame covered in a burqa. But there is about her, and her eyes, an intensity that is immediately arresting.
