What’s one thing you swore you’l never do as a parent now you find yourself doing?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019m doing this thing where I send Raha emails\u201d<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Alia said she started sending emails to Raha soon after her birth and has continued doing so every month. \u201cI\u2019m doing this thing where I send Raha emails. I\u2019ve been doing it every month since she\u2019s born. Just like an amalgamation of photos and videos and what happened and just thoughts and feelings,\u201d she said.The idea came to her after somebody suggested it. Rather than writing in a physical diary, Alia chose a digital format that she could update regularly. \u201cYeah, somebody said this to somebody, so I was like, it\u2019s a great idea because it\u2019s like a live memory book, you know? I don\u2019t have the discipline and the energy to actually fill out a physical memory book, so I thought this is like a digital way of doing it. It\u2019s easier to search, and it\u2019s nice because maybe when she\u2019s 15, you know, I\u2019d give this to her and say, \u2018Listen, this is all the memories that we collected for you over the years. Go ahead and have some fun,\u2019\u201d she told Jay.<\/p>\n

What does Alia put in the emails?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Alia<\/p>\n

Alia said the emails mostly contain visuals and small notes about Raha\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When Jay asked what she had collected so far, Alia said the emails mostly contain visuals and small notes about Raha\u2019s life. \u201cJust photos, you know, videos, thoughts, mainly just visuals of her with either us, with either one of us, or her grandparents, or her aunt or uncle and stuff like that,\u201d she said. She explained that the collection includes random moments rather than a carefully planned record.\u201cJust random moments, you know, and like a little note that you did this today, and we had such a lovely trip here, and something happened, and just sharing whatever I can. It\u2019s like within the moments, whatever comes out at that time,\u201d Alia said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen she\u2019s 15, I\u2019d give this to her\u201d<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

The actor has a particular age in mind for sharing the collection with her daughter. Alia said she might give the emails to Raha when she turns 15, allowing her to look through the memories gathered since birth. \u201cMaybe when she\u2019s 15, you know, I\u2019d give this to her and say, \u2018Listen, this is all the memories that we collected for you over the years. Go ahead and have some fun,\u2019\u201d she said.Alia also spoke about recording moments involving her daughter and family members. \u201cBut yeah, so when I\u2019m sneakily recording the two of them, sometimes when I review it, it\u2019s really very heartwarming to watch because you know that this is like something very special is just cooking,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

A memory from New York and a conversation about parents<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

During the conversation, Alia recalled a memory involving her mother and a photograph of a baby. \u201cI remember in New York we were speaking about this, and I remember my mom sent me a photo of a baby walking down the street with many bags. It was like a random Pinterest image or something,\u201d she said.The image led Alia and her mother to reflect on how parents continue to see their children as babies, even after they grow up. \u201cAnd we actually both agreed that we\u2019re actually all giant babies through our lives, at least for our parents. Like no matter how old we become, we\u2019re still babies,\u201d Alia said.She connected the thought to her own experience as a daughter and a mother. \u201cAnd I see that now. I see that now when every time I would travel, my mom would say, \u2018Okay, be careful before you cross the road. Take care of your arms and legs.\u2019 yeah, I\u2019m like, \u2018What do you say? What do you mean, take care of your arms and legs?\u2019 But I understand that now,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n
