Hi this is Islene, I'm the producer of the BBC World Service Podcast My Indian Life.

And I just wanted to let you know that the whole of our second season is now available.

From the story of the man who's desperate to be the first person on Mars to the

Kashmiri rapper making music under curfew. You'll find those and lots more

brilliant stories from young people across India by searching for my Indian life

wherever you get your podcast.

Bye. Around the world every day billions of people live their lives on the line but it is no

secret not to them not to, not to science.

They live in an area that turns near a fault line where everyday life is balanced on a geological

knife edge. Living with the constant risk of an earthquake

destroying their community and I know how this feels. My name is Tabindacocab. Over the next hour on the BBC World Service, I am exploring

what it is like to live on a fault line. I will be going to different parts of the world where people have

one thing in common, living with the risks of earthquakes and also discovering some of the

rewards for people who go about their daily lives in places

where an earthquake could happen at any moment.

But first, my story. I born in Zofarabad the Pakistan administrative

Kashmir in a very big family actually. My childhood was not exciting at all. I have spent my whole life as an ordinary person. My father was a driver, a government servant.

He wasn't earning too much.

So we are all like spending a normal life, we are from lower middle class, family, and the one thing he does very good to his children is that he

doesn't stop anyone either it's boy or a girl to get enough education.

Final destination for every educated girl is being a teacher.

Then came a day that would change my life forever.
