Farheen was born in the city of Karachi, Pakistan. Her parents also write and she was inspired by them to start writing.  She has been writing since she was very young. At eight years old she was writing children’s stories. Farheen works as a teacher and a tutor, she also does charity work for different communities. In her spare time she loves to paint and to sketch landscapes. Farheen has travelled overseas and interviewed many people from different cultural and religious backgrounds for a book that she is currently editing and will self-publish in early 2017. She loves to capture stories about people who do wonderful work but have never been recognised, how they mix love, vitality and care to make their life beautiful.
