Bio

Hey, So you are interested in knowing me? That's so cool. Currently, I am studying BS Aviation Management at Karachi Institute of Economics and Technology. When not in University you may find me making videos, writing articles, doing live streams, working for social causes, or just having a cup of coffee. Previously I worked in Hajj Mission 2019 as Arrival and Departure Assistant in Madina, Saudi Arabia. Managing the arrival and departure of 300+ people in under an hour. I am also lucky enough to arrange and gather Iftar meals for about 200 people for 4 years during Ramadan in Masjid Nabwi, Madina. Once in a while, I also decided to start my own company and arranged Cricket events. I was successful in connecting more than a hundred Pakistani overseas cricket lovers and gave them a platform as well as a format to play with. If you want to know more about me why not join me for a cup of coffee or read my short book "Life on Moon". Currently also a member of TEDxAzadistreet Have a nice day.

I'm passionate about

I am passionate about learning. I am a student of life and aspire to remain a student till I am alive. After that, I love to share my knowledge and other resources for the benefit of others. I want to help as many people as possible. Other than that I love traveling to new places and meeting new people.

An idea worth spreading

How helping others can benefit not only society as a whole but yourself too. How the fate of the nation can be changed by changing the education system.

Areas of expertise

Budget Management, Content Writing, Data Entry, Event Management, Social Work

The TED story

My TED story is a developing one. And will remain in progress till I stand on the big stage one day and present my story in front of the world. Ted stories are either an idea as a gift or a journey. I would like my story to be a combination of both. You can remember my past as a student with ADHD who never gave up. Or a curious child who never stopped asking questions. Or a gifted person who was fortunate enough to live in two countries. I have always been blessed with inspiring teachers and had the opportunity to meet with new people every day. Growing up I always tried to come up with something new and creative. It would be disrespectful to all the unfortunate ones out there if I don't state that life was served to me like a hot meal on a plate. However, I believe two things can bring equality in a society like nothing else, A good education system and the spirit of helping others. Pakistan has a low literacy rate but along with the focus on increasing our literacy rate, we also have to focus on the quality of education being provided in our schools, especially at the basic level. By giving students sub-par education we are destroying the potential present in our children and our youth. That's the reason we are a nation of followers and replicators not a nation of inventors. That's the reason we have failed to produce great minds, great research, and great ideas in our society. Along with that, we need to develop a spirit of helping others. It can be any kind of help. Financial help, Connecting someone with someone else, sharing knowledge, teaching someone a skill, or even giving someone an idea or advice. This is exactly how I was able to achieve the highest GPA at my university. Not by competing with others but by collaborating with others, knowledge sharing, helping others, and learning from other students. And all of this happened just months after failing to score enough marks to qualify for MBBS. It was always my dream to speak on the TEDx stage. One day I came across the TEDx website and decided to apply for the license. Today I am a licensed TEDx member and event organizer. Hopefully this journey with continue with more ups and less downs.
