I began my journey into the arts at a young age when being taught in the language of literature and understand the human condition; a legacy that I can say for a lack of better words chose me.
To live and see art in everything led me to pursue a career in fine arts in paintings I saw the world of colours and in sculptures I sought to unveil the art trapped in between the stone. I desired more and saw that I found that the human condition needs to be captured through not only my lens but through their own words, a formal education is necessary so I did my Masters of Arts in media production with my majors being Documentary. But an education is useless as well as the life that one is given if they do not spend it in the service of his fellow man. As a member of this blue marble my notable achievements in not only bringing people the truth through working in the journalistic field in Pakistan, I set up the Pakistan chapter in Scotland thorough the medium of voice through Unity FM and through the medium of expression as Awaz Newspaper.
I for one would not and could not stop, there is much in this world to be seen and for the world to see. I am a firm believer of the fact that All land is God’s land. Hence, all land is my land but there was still something missing. I wanted to do that for my country and show these colours the beauty and the potential of my country. I chose to join the Punjab Board of Investment and trade and show the world through my eyes and theirs that there is much potential in this country that is latent and drowned in the noise of Media that is unfortunately building barriers instead of destroying them.
Amongst other things I have a love of poetry, spirituality and the human condition;
In the words of Maulna Rumi;
عقل آمد دین و دنیا شد خراب
عشق آمد در دو عالم کامیاب
زندگی آمد برائے بندگی
“Rationality ruins both this world and the hereafter
Love comes and makes both worlds a success
Life’s purpose is devotion”
