I m a researcher, writer and Journalist. I am a Kashmir based Journalist. Journalism is my passion and I can never think of doing anything else in my life. I am a first-generationn Journalist in my family and have practically devoted the best years of my life to this passion. I was born and brought up in the most beautiful prison in the world ( Kashmir ). I love reading fiction and autobiographies and writing stories religiously every day. Some of my stories and write ups can even be google searched (Isueye). I only compete with myself, no one else. Also, I am the biggest animal lover of all times. I idolise my Mom but love myself for my oratorial skills. That is my best asset. I never really plan things in life because I know it's ultimately going to prevail. So I take things easy in life...
