Ammara Ahmad

A literate according to the Pakistani standard- a good girl according to the minorty's standard-slightly twisted according to the majority's standard.
If you can't handle it that's not my problem. If you think I am crazy, thats not your problem.

A bachelors in Political Science and Journalism , these days working to improve my degree to get a better job.
When it comes to cataloging my life, I realize that, above all, Reading and Writing have been special passions for me. Writing, in particular, began initially as a catharsis but has now become an achievement.
Of the great writers of literature, the influence of some has been especially forceful : Pinter opens up a world of silence, where pauses matter more than words. Dostoevsky reveals the wonders of the human psyche and Marquez’s world is a maze of imagery and symbols, where solitude is besieged among butterflies and flowers. The nightlong ride with George and Martha, when Edward Albee makes us “Afraid of Virginia Woolf� is with me forever. As are Milan Kundera’s fantasies.

Inspired by such examples, I have been writing since I was ten and first got published when I was 13 and the process has continued ever since. I have written more non-fiction than fiction, perhaps because our education system promotes more analytical thinking then creativity. A regular blogger on several websites most of which have a good readership- in my writings, I tend to address socio-political issues mostly, because these seem most relevant to my own experience of life in Pakistan. And I believe that conveying one’s ideas through the print media is one of the most civilized ways of reacting and revolting against all the injustices one perceives.
I love an Indian (Mahatma Gandhi) and thats not an issue.
People are not enlightened and moderate enough -thats an issue!
