All men of action are dreamers.

A dark blot on humanity that is often ignored, or that we turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to, is human trafficking. Much of the developed world is either unaware or doesn’t want to think about the horrors of the evil that permeates society. Young people, mostly girls, but boys, too, are lured away from their poverty-stricken families by the promise of good jobs and enough money to send home to support their needy families. This promise is easily grasped at when a family has little or no income, many mouths to feed, and nothing but a shack to provide shelter from the elements.

 

From being the founding member of Pakistan based SOME – Save Our Mother Earth an NGO geared towards educating the youth about environmental causes. He is also the founder of BAD – Battle Anti Diabetes. When still in my teens I got involved with beauty pageants and formed Best Model Pakistan an organization responsible to select Pakistani representatives for various international beauty pageants with an aim to promote Pakistan as a tourist-friendly country and through the course of this I learnt a lot about the above mentioned unspeakable vice, and how horrible it could be when unsuspecting foreigners come in, and they may be highly prized. Especially when foreigners are a group of beautiful young people who are competing in a beauty contest. Thus came in an idea to write a story as a fictionalized account stemmed of a real event.

Apart from writing blogs and now stories like the above, I am a keen learner of different social cultures and my mantra is that for good ideas and true innovation, one need human interaction, conflict, argument, debate and social media allows me to pick my times for social interaction! I love being criticized as for me it is not a tough thing to handle as it is very useful to help me grow or improve something I do. Just remember that things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is that things are being loved and people are being used. Writing this story I did my little so that let it not be said that I was silent when they needed me.

No dreamer is ever to small… No dream is ever too big!
