I was very interested in reading and writing since childhood. I used to read stories, children's poems, children's stories, articles, articles, poems, memoirs, criticism, reviews etc. and also used to think about them. This interest of mine was taken forward in the field of writing by my father Mr. Yusuf Ali who himself was also interested in writing. My father was not a poet or a writer but he too loved to write. When my father came to know about my interest in writing, he started guiding me. Motivated me to move forward in this field. Today it is because of my father that I have been able to fulfill this dream of mine. Earlier I used to write under the pen name Shahana Parveen "Shaan" but due to some circumstances I had to drop the pen name "Shaan". But today I have again brought the surname "Shaan" in my book and once again I am starting my poems and stories with Shahana Parveen "Shaan".
