When Amal accompanies Nasreen Baji on a shopping trip to Lahore, she is overwhelmed by the people and chaotic activity she encounters there. A group protesting a corrupt judge generates increased traffic, slowing Nasreen’s car as they first enter the big city. Amal describes the bustling vendors and modernly-dressed women she observes while walking through the bazaar alongside Nasreen. Amal cannot believe such an exciting world exists only a few hours away from her village.
