Autumn is Here!


He noticed the empty road as he walked. He was walking to some destination unknown. He was walking away from the past. Walking away from things that hurt. Walking away from sorrows.  It must be autumn, the road was so full of fallen leaves scattered everywhere. The rustling of the leaves was making him sad. A little breeze was blowing making his ears numb with cold. He can never be the same person, he thought. He had embarrassed himself again and the pain is inevitable. His compromises have become regrets for himself. All his life he was against this. It was a deed that was not to be compromised, he always said. Now he has compromised that, his love has become his weakness. Lately, things have become different; all his compromises are becoming his regrets. He was walking away from this, telling himself that it never happened. Trying to soothe him up by telling his mind that he doesn’t want to care anymore.  The thought of redemption and playing the game has died. He can’t live without his love. He can’t evade that bond, no matter how much he tries. Deep in his heart, he knows that he had failed himself again. He had developed a hate for himself. His regrets have become cancer for him, killing him silently. Walking away with a smile won’t help him, not this time. Yes! He said the autumn has arrived!

My name is Zohaib, and I'm thrilled to share my journey of success and perseverance with you. You see, I've always been passionate about writing, but when I started out in Pakistan, I faced many challenges. Writing wasn't considered a profession, and there was limited support for writers. But that didn't stop me from pursuing my dreams. I started my journey as an Academic writer and now after 12 years I am co-founder of my own Creative Agency. As a brand strategist, I am passionate about creative thinking and problem-solving, and I take pride in coming up with unique and effective solutions to help businesses thrive in today's ever-changing market. As a writer, I find joy in expressing myself through words and telling stories that inspire and entertain others, whether it's through a blog post, short story, or novel.

Kinza Asghar Khan a.k.a "Akasious" is one of the most talented writers of our era. Belonging from the city of Saints, Multan, she is dedicated and high spirited personality. Her books, Lone Wolf till last breath and The Ashes of Feelings is in the publishing process while her book Ice is black is currently being written. Unlike many, she isn’t a conventional writer and she writes on really unique topics. Her choice of topic is something that makes her prominent, as well as her topics, are informative and her stories aren’t just stories but come with an education in a way that matters. She is so full of talent and apart from her writing journey, she is on her journey to be a pharmacist, something that is so cool about her. There aren’t many people who can go in the line of creativity and technicalities together and I have no idea how she manages story writing ideas and organic chemistry together.
