Muhammad Khan
Interviewed 29 June 2019
Ten words to sum up your working life to date ...
Rewarding, exciting, exhausting, exhilarating, frustrating, insane, uplifting, motivational, vacillating, unexpected.
Nine things you can see from where you're sitting ...
Books, perfumes, aroma diffuser, PS4, whiteboard covered in copious plot details, Paddington Bear (don’t ask!), GCSE Maths exam papers, hologram reward stickers and an expired World Book Day book token (boo hoo!)
Eight minutes to prepare a meal. What's it going to be ?
Definitely a chicken wrap, but with a spicy desi twist!
Seven people you'd like to go for a drink with ...
I don’t drink but I’d love to hang out with Jordan Peele, Imran Khan, Dame Diana Rigg, Patrice Lawrence, Jennifer Saunders, Minfong Ho and Imam Mohammed Mahmoud.
Six things you can't live without ...
I think I’ve got to a stage in my life where I can live without most things. Eat your heart out Bear Grylls! Or a wild boar’s, if you prefer. Ahem! My mum is just about the only thing I can’t live without.
Five favourite words ...
Serendipity, cornucopia, menagerie, magnanimous and chocolate! Mmm, chocolate…
Four places you'd run away to ...
Local library, Tayyabs restaurant in Whitechapel, Disney World in Florida, Thailand (literally anywhere – the people are mind-blowingly lovely!)
Three books you've bought recently ...
The Skylarks’ War by Hilary McKay, The Curious Tale of the Lady Caraboo by Catherine Johnson and On the Come Up by Angie Thomas.
Two things that make you rant ...
I do my best not to get triggered but racism has me spitting teeth. I also frown upon the suggestion that a teenager self-harming is somehow less serious than an adult self-harming. Like, what?
One thing you'd tell your teenage self ...
Stop playing it so safe; go pursue your own dreams instead of trying to make everybody else happy.
