I was recently inspired by the eminent educationist Agha Ashraf Ali, who advised me to provide critical ideas on world affairs like Noam Chomsky does in the United States. He told me 'you have achieved every possible ambition at a very young age. It is time now to go back to the world of ideas.' I look forward to lecturing at the Islamic University, which is turning out as one of the best institutions in the state."
