On the other hand, she says, being a wife and proud mother of five kids (two boys and three girls) aged 18 to 27 years in a third world country without many opportunities, her scientific advancement or productivity in various directions has been slowed, although the whole situation has inspired and motivated her to work harder. She is an avid reader of various books on gardening, beauty, politics, community and charity work, international affairs, sports, cooking and general knowledge and enjoys travelling, networking and meeting new people.
