"I am 17 years old. I have never been one of the toppers in school or college but I have always had a keen interest in creative writing. However, it was considered useless as it wasn’t my ticket to K.E or U.E.T. I didn’t let this get me down. I started writing short excerpts then moved on to short stories. When I sent my writings to different forums, I realized that all people love to do is criticize.
I still didn’t give up: kept on bleeding and painting words on the paper. Finally, I decided to compile some of my short stories and poetry and have them published in a book form. It was then that I disclosed to my parents that I write. Had my parents not supported me, I wouldn't have come this far. It was hard because there are no sponsoring publishers in Pakistan. But I did finally sign a contract. I gave my first live interview on PTV World and got the title of Youth High Achiever.
My book is titled ‘The Tales of Crucified Blunt’ and is now available on Amazon. I have the honor of being amongst the few Pakistani writers who have international publishing in English Fiction genre. It will also be available in Pakistan by end of this month. I wish to introduce Pakistan as a literary state and a great producer of great writers. My message for everyone reading this is that never give up on your passion and whatever you do, do it for Pakistan."
