Aug 2018 — Present
I\'m the author of the bestselling novel THE CARPET WEAVER, which was published by Penguin Random House India in June 2019 and was the most written about debut novel in India last year. It is coming-of-age tale about a young gay Afghan refugee and is set in Afghanistan\'s turbulent 1970’s and 80’s.
