Features showcase that person you should know about; that action that is making a difference; that event you do not wanna miss; that movie you can’t afford not to watch; that music/musician you must follow. In a short recap, Features will be featuring that person/event/thing that makes a difference, focusing more on the Immigrant but not limited. As already told time and again, writing is one of my passions. I do not only write stories, I write anything that comes to mind. For all those who follow me on facebook, you know I just cant stop writing. I will be sharing essays I write on current affairs and other topics.

If you have written something you will like to share, I will be glad to share it here as well.

On Writing
“If you want to really hurt you parents, and you don’t have the nerve to be gay, the least you can do is go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living.
