I always find this part difficult, but sufficient to say: I am a writer and wholly devoted to my craft.
Random Thoughts: I find it relentlessly difficult to write about myself - I am irrevocably two people at once; the person and the writer.

I would like to do two things - the first is to make a difference through my work and the second, is to see it occur. That is all. I am deplorably moody and reticent when I write, precariously insensitive and disruptively insane.

I think that describes me well enough.

Oh yes, I am inanely attracted to cliched sign offs. It`s a toss up between either side, this one.
Favorite Reading: Les Miserables, Crime & Punishment, Hunchback of Notre Dame, all Roald Dahl books, Pride & Prejudice, the Harry Potter series, Different Seasons, the Anne of Green Gables series, and the urdu play Anarkali.
Favorite Writers: Victor Hugo (my literary god), Kamila Shamsie, Roald Dahl, J.K. Rowling, Stephen King and others
