Hello there! I have spent over thirty years living and working across the Gulf, and in that time, I’ve come to understand that this region holds some truly remarkable stories that often go untold.
I am a columnist, presenter, and business leader, passionately dedicated to enhancing people’s lives through vision care by sharing insights in Eye Zone Magazine. It brings me joy to empower others to see the world more clearly.
I’ve also poured my heart into writing Boom Boom Selling and Khaleeji Arabic Made Easy, self-publishing these works on Amazon to reach those eager to learn and grow.
But it’s the people of the Gulf — its traders, expats, tribals with their quiet loyalties, and the migrants who came with nothing but hope and determination — who have profoundly influenced me as a writer.
Writing under the pen name Mushtaq Min Emaraat, I warmly share my debut fiction, Yazeed: Operation Nothing, a novel that beautifully weaves together three decades of deep connections with the rich cultures, breathtaking landscapes, and the often ignored histories of South Asia and the Arab world.
The result is a heartfelt story that only someone who has genuinely navigated the complexities of living between worlds could share.
I have the privilege of living in Emaraat, the United Arab Emirates, a vibrant tapestry of cultures that beautifully honors diversity in every form and spirit.
My Pen. Your Power.
