Fun Fact

I am a showbiz celebrity back in Pakistan! From 2017 to 2021, I did poetry on the national television and was invited for numerous interviews on public radio. If you search me up on YouTube, you'll find videos of me with up to 3 million views on them!

Passion

As a kid, I was fascinated by the thought of standing on an offshore oil rig during sunset. They say everyone has at least one majestic moment in their careers. Working on a rig, wearing my engineering helmet and my suit, during that oceanic sunset: that will be my majestic moment.

    A week before I came to the US for my studies, I was invited by my high school to conduct this comprehensive campus tour, for the second time in two years, for all incoming students.
    This is what can be referred to as my claim to fame: a clip from one of my poetry contests that were broadcasted on public television, went viral all over the subcontinent and in some other parts of the world, leading to my recognition as a celebrity.
    I represented my high school in the largest interschool competition in the city, with over 140 schools and more than 1100 contestants, in the English Speech Competition. I was awarded as the winner, followed by an interview of mine that was shared on several media handles.
