Good writings defy time and immediate surroundings to sustain their appeal. The entrancing aura of a well-knit article or story is lasting. Surely Hardys rustic Tess or Jude couldnt be out of sync in the year 2020 for technology savvy readers obsessed with Instagram Twitter Facebook and accompanying high-tech spinoffs. Without being extravagant with words one may say the same is true of Dr. Asif Javeds writings. Insightful and instructive they are studded with revealing facts that are well documented to testify to the innate truth. The gifted writer tells us of the life and time of the Bronte Sisters Ibn Batuta Leo Tolstoy Rudyard Kipling Nawab of Kalabagh Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto et al. In more ways than one the articles remind the reader of Dale Carnegies Little Known Facts about Well-Known People. Today he is one of the most fluent and readable purveyors of the English language in the Pakistani American community.
