“However, it is the future of our children that truly scares me. What kind of world are we leaving behind for them? Will they have to face even greater challenges and adversities than we are facing today? These are difficult questions to answer… Questions I don’t have any answers to.” Siddiqui said that there is calm after every storm and he hopes that it’s close by.

Moving around in his home, Adnan describes the dream that he had for a better land. Then coming back to the reality he said “No, this is my dream. This is the dream of my forefathers, mine too, who knows I might also pass away like them waiting for it to come true. What will happen to Pakistan’s new generation?
