About Author
Aimen Iqbal is a Pakistani writer and a self taught literature student, despite doing Bachelors in a very separate field from a university in Karachi. At the age of five, she was admitted in Saint Patrick’s Girls High School, there she developed a love for English language and literature and somehow the textbooks of English became home for her. She started reading poetries and stories when she was nine year old. Just after a year of avid reading, the world turned itself into an art for her, and on holding the pen she turned the ache, the love, the need around her into words, both poetries and stories.
After going through a huge writing break, burdened by the pressure of education, she found herself completely out of place. The longing of home and the thirst of words grew vividly in her. The ache and the need of home dug voids into her. The voids turned her from Aimen to Aim-MON, when she turned again to her pen and her books now with a knowing of hunger, a roar of thirst, and a longing of home she found in literature. She started writing again. And despite the major she is trying to somehow complete, she self teaches herself English literature and vocabulary at home for she is afraid to be homeless again.
With these words she writes she builds the castles of her dreams and try to motivate others to work for their dreams. She believes Allah has created us all as gems and if we stand to shine together, we can eliminate the darkness of the world. That is all she has to say “Let us shine people, like the stars that twinkle fighting against the dark of the night.”
