Goodreads asked Rumana Husain:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Rumana Husain My recent book is titled Street Smart - Professions on the Street. It was launched on May 14, 2015. After my visits to over sixty homes in my city, Karachi, for writing my previous book, Karachiwala: a Subcontinent within a City, which documents its ethnic and religious diversity, lifestyles, customs, rituals and traditions, I wanted to explore the subject of street professions. I have always had a curiosity and fascination for knowing something about the people around me. For Street Smart I interviewed and photographed 64 individuals practicing different professions on the streets of Karachi.
