Having resided in Pakistan and Indonesia in her youth (the two largest Muslim countries in the world), Hina has experienced the religious hypocrisy plaguing the Muslim world first-hand.

After the death of her father she began to question mortality, faith and the meaning of existence, which ultimately led her down the path to atheism. Today, she enjoys a quiet domestic life with her ex-Hindu partner, traveling the world, cooking exotic Pakistani dishes, gardening, and occasionally sharing her thoughts on her blog.
