Hamida describes herself as a happy person. "I have everything I desire and I thank God for my health and my children," she says.
She was born in 1939 in Karachi, Pakistan, where she grew up with her six sisters and two brothers, many of whom are now scattered around the world. She and her husband, an engineer, had five children. Upon her husband's retirement, her children called and begged them to live with them in Fremont. They immigrated to the U.S. about 15 years ago and now have 13 grandchildren.
Hamida likes to watch television and enjoys doing needlework. She used to do a lot of the cooking, but now she says that's limited mainly to holidays. Her family still loves her delicious biryani, a mixed rice dish.
Her AWE classes are her first experience with art. She is open to any medium and has recently discovered acrylic on canvas. Landscapes are her favorite subject.
