Dream Come True


   Maha Khan Philips is known as a successful writer as well as an active journalist. She is living in London with her husband and son.   This creative writer was born in Karachi, Pakistan with lots of dreams and vivid imagination. Ms. Maha says ,“My childhood was filled with fun and adventurous trips. I specially remember the time I visited Naran.” As Naran’s trip inspired her a lot, she chose Naran as the main setting of her novel ‘The Mystery of the Aagnee Ruby.’ She grew up reading Enid Blyton’s stories and Enid Blyton is an inspiration to her. During the interview, Ms. Maha also mentioned one of her favorite Enid Blyton’s novel ‘The Secret Seven.’ She relates, “I was quite a daydreamer.”  She got her education from Oxford University in London and then, she started her career as a journalist.  To us, she is an extraordinary and talented writer as she wrote a short novel at the age of 8. She has already written novels above the count of 10. One of them, ‘The Mystery of the the Aagnee Ruby’, is the core reader of Beaconhouse School System grade six students for which she feels honored and is planning to write a sequel. According to Maha, she wants her son to follow in her footsteps and become a writer but he is more interested in mathematics and science.     
 When asked about her homeland, she says, “I am proud to be a Pakistan and I hope for good conditions of Pakistan.”
