Who Am I?

I am Bilal Syed!

I am a Journalist by profession with experience in theatre. I completed my education from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. I am someone who will go all the way for a story but will always work within the boundary of journalistic ethics and codes of practice. I believe the best stories are those that you know nothing about, purely for the reason that you are able to fully engage, understand, and write with complete curiosity and an unbiased mind.

I currently reside in Dubai, UAE. Although, I do travel on a regular basis, due to work!

Blogging is a passionate affair between a writer and their brain. As opinionated as I sometimes may be, I believe that people develop and grow into blogging, they aren’t just born with the ability to write (or else we’d be extinct by now), but with that said, the opportunity to influence and spread information to the world is something, as a journalist, I have understood in detail overtime, with many mistakes. But then again, who doesn’t make mistakes! And if you believe you don’t make mistakes or due to some miracle haven’t made mistakes, then Oh God help us all!

Coming back to me, since this is an “About Me” page, I have previously been an RJ, DJ, Reporter, Content Writer for various magazines, Producer for News & Entertainment shows, Event Manager, a Programs Manager for Women International Film Festival, and a TV Anchor. Although, obviously during my student years in Melbourne, I worked in many places students usually do, but those not-so-prestigious jobs actually taught me more than many people with white-collar jobs know. Surprisingly!

I guess my point is:
You, YES You! Can do whatever you want in life, as long as you know deep down in your heart that “this is it! This is what I want to do and this is what I know I can do.” Remember – Life is simple, we add the complications!

As Cliché as that is, it’s a fact!

OK so enough about me, let’s explore the world and show you where we positively stand as human beings!
