Islamabad,

I love to write and photograph.I believe in short, crisp and concise pieces.I love to take single pictures that tell a full story rather than taking too many pictures to support one story.

My aim is to shoot such pictures that require no description.A photograph must speak.That's what I am trying to accomplish.

I edit www.pol-dev.com, a web-based publication that features environment, politics and development.

I love writing poetry.I have published more than 300 poems in several publications.I have deep interest in classical music, photography, poetry, travelling and water sports.
