From her vantage point, Hasina watches the planes take off outside the glass doors and secretly dreams of being on (even piloting) one of them.

Home is no less mine-filled, with a twin-sister who demands money constantly, a little brother who doesn't look like he's going to pass his fourth class and parents who are more concerned with the ongoing feud with the upstairs neighbours, Laila auntie's family.
