In today\u2019s blog, we are introducing you to Saeed ul Hassan, the author of the poetry collection <i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meraqissa.com\/book\/1632\">Tawwaquf<\/a>. <\/i>Without further ado, let\u2019s find out more about Mr. Saeed and his writing journey.<\/p>\n<h2>Meet Saeed ul Hassan<\/h2>\n<p>Saeed ul Hassan is an <em>educationist, social worker, entrepreneur and poet<\/em>. Saeed is a multidisciplinary with a bachelors in economics and a masters degree in English literature. On the social front, Saeed has been a part of social welfare projects nationwide. In <strong>2009<\/strong>, he received the <i>\u201cCommonwealth Education Special Award\u201d.\u00a0<\/i>In addition to that, Saeed received international recognition through the <i>\u201cGovernment of Malaysia Award\u201d.<\/i>\u00a0Saeed\u2019s tenure as a social worker is spread over the time period of <strong>17 years<\/strong>.\u00a0Currently, he is working as an <i>Executive Director\u00a0<\/i>with a social work organisation. By nature, Saeed is a soft-spoken, thoughtful and literary soul.<\/p>\n<h2>Saeed\u2019s love for Literature<\/h2>\n<p>At the time when the global market was brimming with career opportunities for economics, Saeed chose to follow a path less traveled. Despite the world telling him to stick to a conventional field, he chose literature. However, his writing journey goes all the way back to his childhood. Being an empath and a sensitive soul, Saeed was always observing his environment and jotting down his thoughts.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAs a young boy, I always was in the habit of writing. I used to write on any paper I could find. Sometimes on the back of my textbooks too.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As a kid, Saeed never enjoyed subjects that involved calculations. It was literature that resonated with him. In the progressing years, his affiliation with literature took him on a journey of <em>self-exploration<\/em>.\u00a0Moreover, Saeed is an avid reader. He loves both English and Urdu literature and has explored <em>Punjabi<\/em> literature as well. <em>\u201cSituations with their satire and irony as presented in literature reveal to us our own selves,\u201d<\/em> says Saeed.<\/p>\n<h2>Literature in Pakistan<\/h2>\n<p>Career paths like <em>art<\/em> and <em>literature<\/em> are looked down upon in our country even today, says Saeed. Since childhood, we instil in our children to get education for the sole purpose of getting a job. Whereas, Saeed believes the purpose of education is to<em> teach<\/em> one <em>discipline<\/em>, <em>wisdom<\/em> and the ability to differentiate between right and wrong. For him, education should be a source of directing one\u2019s moral compass and not just <i>money making. <\/i>However, our priorities as a society are misplaced. According to him, we need to share the importance of Art and literature with our future generations. As the golden saying by N.H. Klienbaum says, <em>\u201cMedicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, and love, these are what we stay alive for.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe have to raise awareness for the importance of arts and literature as currently there is no dialogue between youth and their elders regarding its importance.\u201d \u2013 Saeed<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>An insight into Tawwaquf<\/h2>\n<p>Tawwaquf &#8211; in literal sense of this word means <i>stillness or to pause. <\/i>Since, Saeed published his book amidst the pandemic he named it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meraqissa.com\/book\/1632\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tawwaquf<\/a>. For it is the time when the whole world was on <i>pause. <\/i>The book carries his poetry collection written over a time period of\u00a0<strong>2 decades<\/strong>. It talks about his personal experiences and insights on life and its different dimensions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/D58EA07E-5D30-4FFD-8874-BF7BE6FC4647.jpeg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6979\" src=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/D58EA07E-5D30-4FFD-8874-BF7BE6FC4647.jpeg\" alt=\"Saeed ul Hassan \" width=\"684\" height=\"978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/D58EA07E-5D30-4FFD-8874-BF7BE6FC4647.jpeg 684w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/D58EA07E-5D30-4FFD-8874-BF7BE6FC4647-210x300.jpeg 210w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/D58EA07E-5D30-4FFD-8874-BF7BE6FC4647-150x214.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/D58EA07E-5D30-4FFD-8874-BF7BE6FC4647-300x429.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Stillness &#8211; A golden concept<\/h2>\n<p>In the end, Saeed shared with us his stance on the importance of <i>stillness. <\/i>He believes human beings are in a constant race for something. However, they never get close to arriving to their supposed success. Whatever we do in life, something always remains unknown and out of reach. It is only when we are in our old age that we come to realise certain truths.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOld age makes us think about the mistakes we made, the things we lost and the things we gained.
