Hi. I am Faija. I have taken up reading very recently and found myself alternating between romance novels and murder thrillers. I absolutely love cooking and baking, even though my baking adventures are not often successful. I started writing at a young age, and with time, it took different turns, and I am truly grateful for where it has taken me. You will often find me typing aggressively on my laptop or lying aimlessly on my bed in my free time. I believe in a world where we respect one another irrespective of their identity and work. Only then can we expect a peaceful and happy space for us all.
