About

Welcome to my blog. Here I write (and occasionally read out loud) about political parties, democracy and development. Once I was a TV reporter, now I work at an Islamabad-based think tank. I was born and raised in Karachi, attended undergrad in Lahore, studied politics at the University of Chicago and hung out in Washington DC for a bit. Contact at haider dot erum at yahoo dot com.

    Much preferred the previous format, it looked like a newspaper and was quite charming :) The new sidebar on the right is helpful though. Maybe you can merge the two?

    Keep writing :)

    Hi Erum. I’m Erum. Funny how we have the same name :) I’ve been reading up on your blogs and I just wanted some advice on how to get to where you are now. I’m only in High School, but I just want to know how you set yourself apart from others in this competitive profession. How can a mediocre student like me get a head start on becoming a journalist?
