This will also be a very difficult question for me if you ask that for whom I have been working. Why I have been writing the rubbish? Actually I am also unclear as for whom I have been working as at the moment I am damaging myself. Actually I am the servant of pen and at the moment I have been using the pen for winning peace for myself, my wife, my children and whole world.
I have spent last seven or six years in great difficulties as I have always been followed by someone. They were just trying to find out as for whom I have been working. Actually they also failed to find out as for whom I have been working. English is not my mother tongue and there is possibility that the people did not understand as what I have been writing. Majority of Pakistanis did not understand my English as I have been fired from various jobs telling me that my English language is not good.
Actually I am in the field of journalism for the last 22 years. I have performed duty in various English, Urdu and Pashto languages newspapers. Most of the time I performed my duty as sub-editor, reporter, news editor and also remained editor of an English language magazine. I have never remained comfortable in any job and this is the reason I kept changing the newspapers.
When all doors of employment have been closed on me I have found the online world. Initially I have been welcome in the online world. But when I started struggle for earning some money through my writing I have also lost the trust of my friends. I have been declared terrorists without any inquiry. That was the time when I acted like mad person. I have started making hue and cry on various social networks such as Facebook, Ipeace and many others. My friends have abused me whenever I called for help. This is also the fact that some good people have realised my plight and they helped me secretly. There was a time when I have lost the hope and I thought that I have been collapsing. I am grateful to my Allah Almighty for keeping me alive despite threats and hunger.
But in this whole process my wife and my children have suffered. Today I want to make it clear that I have not been working for anyone. I am just working for myself. As I have already stated that I am the servant of pen. I have just been keeping my pen alive. I know there is no impact of my write, but still I have been writing. I just want to keep my pen alive. I shall remain alive till my pen remains alive.
The End
