I was born in the UK — proper East London lad. But my grandparents and great-grandparents came here from Pakistan way back.

So yeah, I’m British Pakistani. But sometimes… it’s like there’s pieces of the story missing. You feel me?

We know where we are now. But what about before?

A lot of our stories got lost — books destroyed, voices silenced, history ignored. Sometimes even our own families ain’t sure what came before.

But here’s the thing: humans love stories. Always have. Always will.

Whether you’re 9 or 90, stories help us understand life — they teach, connect, and shape us.

That’s why I started Khissa Kahaani Bazaar.

It’s inspired by a real place in Peshawar — Qissa Khwani Bazaar, the “Bazaar of the Storytellers.” A place where people came just to share stories. No Netflix. No likes. Just chai and proper vibes.

So I thought — why not bring that back for us? For now. For the next gen.

In this digital bazaar, we go back in time to rediscover forgotten stories — real ones, wild ones, deep ones.

And you know what? In those old stories, we start to find ourselves.

Who we are. Where we came from. What we carry.

And that helps us — in every part of life. School. Family. Friends. Mental health. Big decisions.

Cos the past, present, and future?
It’s all connected.

So come through. Read, watch, listen. Ask questions. Tell your own story if you want.

This isn’t just about history.

This is about us.
