Ishrat Umar

She is poetess and an author. Her parents were her inspiration for
inculcating writing skills and calligraphy. She writes in English, Hindi
and Urdu. Her third book is in the pipeline. Her husband is an ex para-
military personnel and both her children are around her. She gets
immense satisfaction after penning down her emotions. For her poetry
is like painting a picture and writing is a powerful medium of expression.
In school she always participated in story-telling, recitations,
calligraphy, debates and drawing competitions, which developed her
passion for fine-arts. Simplicity in life makes her blissful. She plays
badminton in her spare time. She believes in helping the needy, doing
good to others but never expecting return. She is a globetrotter, having
travelled across India and twelve countries so far. She believes positive
thinking results in positive outcome.
