HIRA NAZIR

SENIOR EDITOR

I am Hira Nazir and I am a student of medical whose blood contains the germs of writing and creativity. I've found myself as an avid reader and writer, who writes more than breathing,ever since I got the wit and started feeling things happening around. I write for my own heart because I love it. I read for my soul because it is my most favorite hobby. After these two things, I am simply freshened. I am not an eminent writer neither I am a perfect one nor I write forcefully but I love to write every time  I find a rhyme in every speech, I get an idea of writing from every view. Writing is my best chum which aids me in blackening the paper when I am in a gloomy vibe. It helps me to express my enthusiastic feelings when I am overwhelmed. It supports when I am alone. It surrounds when I am in despair. My life consists of three things; my PEN, my BOOKS and my DEBATES. Writing is my passion alongside debates. I've not learned anything, it is an instinct. I don't even know the basics of writing but I do it perfectly. I believe," Creativity helps you to speak out your heart, get rid of the inner darkness and give words to the feelings from inside." I am very ordinary but I dream extraordinary and yes my little eyes dream of doing very big in the field of writing and oration. Till then, I'd be struggling and striving to polish my skills and rhymes of my being and the world will know me by my words.

MUHAMMAD SAEED KHALIL

SENIOR ASSISTANT EDITOR

My name is Muhammad Saeed Khalil. Currently studying Political Science from the University of Peshawar. Being in touch with current affairs and day to day happenings is more of a hobby for me. I consider myself very lucky to be a student of this subject and aspire to to good in the future. I also love FAIZ to infinite degrees. Peace!

ZUNAIRA AFZAL

COORDINATING EDITOR

I’m not an eminent writer, not a perfect one. That’s what I feel and that’s what I am. I don’t often write. I don’t force myself to write but whenever I hold a pen, it writes. I don’t even know before writing that what I’m going to write. My heart chooses the title and my heart picks the diction. I am 21, a student of English Literature.  Basically,  I write to reduce the inner suffocation. The devil of desperation inspired me and forced me to write once and now, I write habitually. I see something and I write rather than to share it with somebody. Ummm.. My pen is my best friend.

TAMANIDA DAUD

SUB EDITOR

Its Tamania Daud, studying commerce at Quaid-e-Azam College of Commerce, University of Peshawar. I am a fun loving girl and love to make fun with buddies. I am fond of reading and writing. When it comes to write something, I write most of the time serious, humorless things. I am moody and love to transform my mood into emotional words whenever i feel sad or lonely. Besides, watching T.V, playing indoor games and badminton are few of my favorite hobbies. I have learned a lot during my journey with A.V.I.R.A. And now, I feel honored that I am a part of this bright mission. My struggles are on the way for the accomplishment of A.V.I.R.A's mission.

KHALID SAEED BUTT

GRAPHICS DESIGNER

I am a freelance Graphic Designer and a Writer. I have been working under the business title of ‘Pagestone Illustrations’ for the last 5 years. My area of expertise is Logos and Photo-Editing. I have written a few short stories, an Urdu screenplay for a short film and 2 unpublished collections of Urdu and English poetry. I volunteer as a Designer and a Writer, whenever I can. Though a writer, I am not much of a reader. I do like to read but I don't have the right strength to handle a book. I like observing better. Since I have been all over Pakistan, I don’t like traveling either. Learning about the modern tech and gadgets is another one of my favorite pass times. I like to keep myself updated with the latest technology news. I accomplish this by reading online articles and watching tech reviews.
