Director's Cut

My earliest childhood dream was to become a Secret Agent, all thanks to those suspense stories and Nancy Drew novels that were my first reads as a kid. I was thoroughly impressed by the smartness and thrill of all those fictitious characters. They were my idols.
And then I grew up, and so did my idols. From secret services, my imagination shifted to sportsmen. I aspired to be world's number one tennis player or something like that. To touch the glory in my own way and let the world know of it. My parents, not entirely oblivious of my dreams,realized that my being a secret agent was too far a cry and living in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, amidst the social structure that hardly allowed women to take up jobs like this; decided to train me in more worldly and apt disciplines. And so started my degree in Economics. I enjoyed learning about policies and stuff, but deep inside me there was this adventurous soul waiting to be recognized.
And then it so happened that I got into media. Before I finished my degree, i was employed by the biggest TV channel in the country. Not knowing where the chance might lead me, i became a creative writer. It gave me ample energy and pleasure to work in the glitzy media industry, no timings to follow, no work routine, just doing whatever I wanted to, whenever I wanted to. From copy writing, to content management to producing my own show, I am just loving it.
