About the Author

Back in Pakistan, Mr.Shoaib Sadiq after doing his L.L.B chose law as profession but soon he lost interest in that profession and later switched over to journalism. He was fond of writing from his school days.

Being a young journalist he has the privilege of being Editor of his own literary magazine called ‘Adabi Chehra’ (literary face). He started publishing the magazine In Gujrat, Pakistan in 1998. He continued bringing out the magazine even after he moved into Canada in 2003. Though he was confronted with problem of settling in this new land, he never remained out of touch from journalism and kept working as resident editor of a couple of other Pakistani literary magazines.

As he was energetic and hardworking, soon he got a good job in Canlyte Phillips in Cornwall. He has a wife (Shafana Khan) and two sons namely Alyan and Reyan.

After being settled financially Mr. Shoaib started devoting his time on writing short stories (fiction) based on his experiences. He has a strong grip over Indo- Pak and Canadian culture and society. I met him over a decade ago when I was busy writing a book historical in nature. Since then we had been meeting each other almost every day. I hardly noticed in my life a person like him writing so regularly despite his busy schedule. In fact he was writing stories on war footing. His efforts brought fruits and he was able to get published his first book under the title ‘Chautha Aadmi’ (Fourth Person) in 2010 which is a collection of his short stories.
