In those days I wanted to experience some new experiments so I became a member of Oxford University press Peshawar,I learnt a lot there about writing, speeches etc. .Actually I used to write small articals for the news papers, essay, speeches and also did dramas in the school,I had a knack for writing but I didn't thought about it.Actually I wanted to write but I couldn't find any proper platform , so that's why I didn't move forward in this field.I love this field but later I saw your contests and Sword Stories ideas so I started writing just to see how far can I go and you can say "I'm Test Modeling".I also writing for the Urdu language Digests,I also send them some writing specimens, they liked it.Now I believe that I would also write for "Urdu" literature.
