My name is Imdad Hussain; by day, I don the robes of a lawyer at the Lahore High Court; by night, I chase my dreams – a CSS aspirant. Yet my heart yearns for more. I am an aspiring writer under the guidance of Sir Syed Kazim Ali Shah Shb, who has nurtured my writing aspirations and kept my creative spark alive.
Before highlighting the paramountcy of the holy grail that Sir Syed Kazim Ali Shah Shb bestowed within the realm of English writing skills, I long to say that painters and writers are alike, with the uniqueness of their mechanics and style; one depicts the world with colours while the other with words. Through their art, they let their imagination surpass the ultimate reality and reveal its mysteries. But it is a writer only whose artistry is so exquisitely alluring; passionately persuasive; poetically stealthy; and eloquently incisive that it can make the world twirl with its rhythm. It arms one with the art of eloquence – a skill to convey thoughts with precision and grace – unlocking doors to triumph in the workplace and ace competitive exams with remarkable flair.
Unfortunately, in Pakistan, a calamitous paucity of writers has caused the country to suffer intellectually and culturally. However, a few have been struggling individually yet enthusiastically to supplement the lack; Sir Kazim Ali Shah Shb is the leading one. Before joining Sir Kazim Ali shah Shb, I struggled to write even a single sentence without making any mistakes. Disheartened, I was convinced, after trying a gamut of recipes of how to write efficiently, flawlessly, and persuasively, that writing was an innate skill that might not be acquired and taught pedagogically. To my astonishment, with the uniqueness and ease of his tutelage style, he has facilitated me to grasp the complex concepts of words, syntaxes, and their usages. Thus, he has made the English language a gentle breeze for me and smoothed the ink’s journey for my pen, making my words flow effortlessly and coaxing my voice onto the page.
Moreover, he has enlightened me artistically. He has made me believe in my ideas, thoughts, and words and taught me how to synchronize them – liberating me from self-doubts, awakening my imagination, and letting me go beyond the ordinary: this is actually what the art of writing demands from its learner.
It is also worth highlighting that learning the art of writing is a lifelong journey embedded with new secrets and experiences at each turn, just as any art in the world. But Sir Kazim Ali Shah Shb kindles this journey and leads his students to assail it passionately. Platforms like Cssprepforum further enhance this learning process, offering valuable resources and structured guidance. As a result, many of his students, working across a multitude of professions, have command over the art of English writing and are distinctively excelling in their respective fields.
May Sir always be enveloped with the warmth of God’s blessings!
