While staying in Washington DC, Mr Hussain continues missing two things—beaches of Atlantic City and rugged mountains of Kohat where he originally comes from. Contrary to an average person in southern Pashtoon belt, Mr Hussain is surprisingly mild in nature but down to earth person. He wants to lead life with a true cause and service for humanity. His love goes to his family, and his leisure hours spend in playing with his kids. Two other things that capture Abid’s attention are sports and music.
