Bisma Jatoi: The Author Inside the Officer.<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

\"Bisma<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bisma Jatoi<\/span><\/a> is currently serving in Karachi as an AC Anti-Smuggling Customs Officer. While her job is in civil service, writing has been her true passion since she was a child. She shared.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWriting is my passion. I have been writing since I was 7.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n

Over the years, Bisma Jatoi has written for various newspapers & magazines. Bisma also shared the story behind her first book.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy first book was a compilation of 20 top short stories from South Asia, which included mine as well. It was also through the platform of Daastan back in 2018. Later on, I published two other books in 2020 and 2022.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n

Sometimes<\/span> Bisma<\/span><\/a> finds it difficult to balance her writing because of strict duty hours and the 24\/7 nature of her work. Still, writing is her comfort and gives her a creative break from daily stress.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dialogue With Diary.<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

\"Dialogue<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dialogue with diary<\/span><\/a> is a captivating self-reflection book that takes you on a journey through three years of confessions, self-analysis, and personal thought, giving readers a unique peek into Bisma\u2019s inner thoughts<\/span><\/p>\n

Talking about her book, <\/span>Bisma Jatoi<\/span><\/a> said,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDialogue with diary is simply the manifestation of all of us. Every person reading it is part of this book because it is a compilation of all the thoughts a human goes through after a long day of aches and bruises. In simple terms, dialogue in a diary is everyone\u2019s book. As Virginia Woolf said, a book of silence, things that people can\u2019t say but feel\u201d.<\/span><\/h4>\n

In this philosophical <\/span>self-reflection book<\/span><\/a>, she explores the seven realms of the human psyche, touching on themes like love and loss, death and deception, art and literature, and bridges and boundaries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Balancing CSS Duties with a Passion for Writing.<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

\"Bisma<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We asked <\/span>Bisma<\/span><\/a> how she balances her official duties with writing and what inspired her to become an author. She replied.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs I said earlier, writing is my hobby and passion. I use it as a way to relax after long and difficult field duties. Also, my family has a history of avid readers and creative writers, which pushed me in this direction as well.\u201d\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n

How Daastan Supported Bisma\u2019s Author Journey.<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cDialogue with diary<\/span><\/a>\u201d is published by <\/span>Daasta<\/span><\/a>n, Pakistan\u2019s leading publishing platform, dedicated to supporting national & international authors.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bisma\u2019s Journey & Experience with Daastan In Her Own Words.<\/span><\/h3>\n

In her Interview, she shared.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Daastan<\/span><\/a> was the very first platform that introduced me to the world of publishing. It was through Daastan that I participated in a South Asian short story writing contest that landed me in the top 10 writers. So it has more of a sentimental value for me. Moreover, this place gives everyone quite an equitable space for their creative work.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n

She added.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI would say <\/span>Daastan<\/span><\/a> is a truly 21st-century publishing mindset, unlike our old school publishers. Every writer is different, and there\u2019s no fixed genre that qualifies for publishing. In that sense, Daastan has always been home for me.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n

Lessons From \u201cDialogue With Diary.\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

\"Dialogue<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When we asked Bisma about the lessons readers can take from <\/span>Dialogue with Diary<\/span><\/a>, she answered.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c It\u2019s a refuge read. Come to it when you want home in words and solace in sentences. It is not a compulsive read but a need-based read, and I believe all of us need that comfort and warmth of words\u201d.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Bisma Jatoi\u2019s Message For Readers.<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cI would request everyone reading my book to play their part in upholding and preserving the tradition of book reading and book writing. Never let go of this art because it\u2019s the basis of this world as well. Humanity and civilizations have survived because of holy scriptures. They have flourished because they wrote and they read. Therefore, let words be the magical guide as always.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
