I am one of the very few journalists who have worked simultaneously in both English and Urdu media houses. I was the editor of The Asian Age- a leading English daily of India and also worked as news coordinator for Voice of America (Urdu Service). I have a passion for languages. Besides English and Urdu, I also know Hindi and Bengali. I had translated several chapters of an important book "Reminiscences of the Nehru Era" which were published in Urdu daily Akhbar-e-Mashriq. I write short stories and poetry in Urdu. One of my ghazals "Apne hathon se yun chehre ko" is featured in " Great Ghazals of Anup Jalota." But translation is my forte. I can translate from English to Urdu and Urdu to English with equal ease. I can translate within stipulated time period.
