I was a married woman now. Things sank in. I was married with children and Lahore was my home. I had inherited everything that was my husband’s – his seven dogs, his weird pheasants and his senseless chickens, all crammed into the backyard.
Red Birds is about the destruction that inevitably follows love. Many say this Mohammed Hanif novel is an anatomy of the wars men wage and the carcasses of pain women and their children must sweep up, each with their own indignities, but I don’t.

Aisha is a top-notch communications director who is smart, creative and has an enviable work ethic. As someone who's based thousands of miles from our operations in Pakistan, I need to have strong and open relationships with our local comms leaders - with Aisha, I have complete confidence and trust. COVID has tested even the strongest of leaders but Aisha has continued to thrive, leaning in to the challenge at a critical moment for our business. Equally impressive has been her oversight of integrated campaigns for Jazz, her ongoing issues management (in a region where there are many) and her championing of our sustainability programme to improve the lives of millions of Pakistanis, particularly women and girls. Aisha is a delight to have on VEON’s comms team.
Aisha Sarwari is a journalist and activist and a woman of integrity who is making a huge difference. Her work ethic, passion and ambition has allowed her moved up quickly in the world of writing, presenting, teaching and mentoring. I just read her second book last weekend. Extraordinary. We are very proud here at San Jose State, that she graduated from our institution.
Aisha leads the Communications and Sustainability role at Jazz with a new creative zeal. We selected her for her passion for writing thoughtfully. She had a defining role articulating the transformation of the Jazz brand from a telecom to a digital company, amidst a changing regulatory landscape. She has a knack for bringing a personalized touch to story-telling and reputation management. I look forward to her growth into a leader in the digital industry and further hone her skills as an impactful communicator.
Aisha Sarwari has a long standing affiliation with WAIPA, advising communications for this FDI apex body. She has worked as a one-person department for years and structured our outreach, PR and digitalization strategy. We have grown a lot since then. She has contributed strategically to the messaging as we focused on inclusive and sustainable foreign investment promotion with over 170 members from 130 countries all around the world. WAIPA is a Global reference point for FDI and Aisha has surely made a contribution to that global impact.
