I am glad to share with you the first post on HIVE. First of all, I would like to thank all of you and the platform that has brought us together today.
My name is Saqib Butt and I am associated with Television broadcasting industry in Islamabad, Pakistan.
My hobbies include Graphics designing, Web designing, Reading books, Stamp collecting, Postcards and Letter writing, Pen pal, writing Columns and Books' reviews, Hiking etc. I also love to write Children stories.
I am very fond of Tourism and so far I have toured the Netherlands, Norway, Belgium, France, Luxembourg and Perl city of Germany. I have also visited the United Arab Emirates.
That's why I keep writing about Travel and Tour as well. Hence, here you will also be able to read my daily posts.
I am fond of learning new languages. My mother language is Punjabi and my national language is Urdu. Other languages I can understand are Arabic and Persian.
I have also passed short course of Chinese language but unfortunately I have no communication skills in Chinese.
I have an M.A. in Political Sciences and a M.Sc. in Mass Communication. Additionally, I have also done various technical and professional courses. I have attended several workshops on media, journalism and education too. I am very interested in Literacy and non-formal Education programs and that is precisely why, over the years, I have participated in many Teacher training programs.
I am member of many Professional, Social, Media and Literary societies, associations and clubs.
I am Editor of some websites:
My website for promotion of books reading habit in society:
Kitaab Nama - کتاب نامہ
University website for the Students of "Gender and women's studies":
Iqbalians
My Online newspaper:
Mad-e-Muqabil - مدِ مقابل
Website for fans of renowned female Pakistani novelist and playwright Bano Qudsia:
Bano Qudsia - بانو قدسیہ
I got information about this platform from a friend of mine, Zagham (LifeSkills-Tv) and so, I decided to join. I hope that together we will work for art, culture, world peace and will play an important role in eradicating ignorance, poverty, lawlessness and unrest world-wide.
Thank You!
