Muhammad Siyab (twitter, Blog)
Hey! My name is Muhammad Siyab and I’m a 16 year old guy living in Karachi, Pakistan. I absolutely love doing creative writing and fiction, and that pushed me to take part in this project. I love to read fiction, particularly legal and political fiction and the likes of Grisham and Archer. I happen to be quite a good writer(or so I think!) and that’s another reason I decided to take part in this project. Moreover, I’m an avid blogger too, primarily on PuttingBlogsFirst.com.
These days I’ve a lot of free time on my hands(school vacations) and thought of using them constructively. I’m writing another book also, though this one is non-fiction. I feel that by writing this book, I’ll be able to tell a story. A story of a person I’ve always wanted to be. This book is a chance for me to bring alive the being I’ve always dreamed of becoming. It’ll be an exciting and exhilarating experience for me, and hopefully for you too, the reader. :-)

great team.

25, Indian, Dreamer, Curious and Adventurous. Has a very short attention span. On a constant mission to search for that new new thing. Torn between Indian ethos and Global outlook. Confused about what to do in life and assured about the future at the same time. Not a rebel and yet has a perpetual problem against authority.
Day job is Planning and Strategy guy at arguably the most creative company in India. Has a very long list of after-office interests and TwitterBook is one such initiative. TwitterBook for him is an experiment where he wants to challenge himself to do something that he is not good at – Writing and Collaborating. So far hes got an excellent team in place and the road ahead looks bright and sunny.
