Hashvini : I’m fine too. Irene do you know who is Malala Yousafzai?

Irene : Hmm I don’t know. Who is that? It sounds like a Pakistani’s name.

Hashvini : Yeah you are correct. She is a Pakistani who is known for her education and women's rights activism in the Swat Valley, where the Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school.
