Nauman Afzal is a Telecom Engineer by profession, a bibliophile by choice, and a traveler by compulsion. He has never restricted himself to a particular genre (in reading books), the choice of books and his personal collection are very varied. But mostly it is fiction that inspires him. Some of his favorite authors are Khushwant Singh, Paulo Coelho, Garcia, William Dalrymple, Shafiq ur Rehman, Krishan Chander, Manto, Shaukat Siddiqui, Khalid Hosseini, Fredrick Backman, Harold Robbins, Sidney Sheldon, Mohsin Hamid, Omar Shahid Hamid and a few more. 

He has been writing technical articles for a long time and has published articles, travelogues, and essays in print media as well as online forums. Besides this he runs his own blog, writing about the things that inspire him. Being a bibliophile he wanted to pursue fiction writing and one of his stories “Running Water” was published by Oxford University Press during the 2015 Karachi Literature Festival in a book titled “I’ll Find My Way”. “Mudslinging and Other Short Stories” was his first serious attempt at fiction writing.  “Budhoo and Other Short Stories”, is his second book.
