In Khalida's words, "I have lots of hobbies, poem writing being one, comedy writing being another!! Im currently writing a short piece that has been commissioned by a Theatre company in London, about three asian middle aged women on a day trip to London. I am also trying my hand at amature dramatics, I have a part in a play due to be staged in November.I also compere at various events ( and my knees wobble every time!) Other passionate likes: Urdu poetry, infact the language as a whole, R 'n' B music, comedy (esp. the 'goodness gracious me' team), international cuisine, Badminton and a good work out in the gym! Passionate hates: racism, inequality of any nature, double standards, ignorance, karrela's and plastic flowers!"
