I am Ayesha and I have always had a passion to express my views and sharing things with people. There was never another career that appealed to me other than journalism. There is something intriguing and incredible in digging out scoops and finding out the truth behind mysterious stories. I was always fascinated by stories and news that can help touch the people and their hearts. With time I found out that the stories that triggered interest in me were stories from the entertainment world. I also love to write stuff about health related topics. The passion to get to know more about what’s happening in the world led me to become a journalist. I started off writing blogs and then I got the opportunity to write for different websites on various topics. One opportunity led to another one and I have managed to gather so much of memorable and exciting experience till date. The experience that I have gained by entering in this field has been unforgettable and I continue to do so as I cover more interesting stories with all of you.
