There are different perceptions and opinions which are either built through our lack of exposure and interaction with people from different cultures or the way media presents the news to us. The book aims to show a positive side of human interaction and connection which is hardly mentioned in the mainstream media. Although not a travelogue, but Stories & Glories from Pakistan & Australia is a personal collection and reflection of events that I experienced during my stay in the two countries, as I experienced the cultural shock and learned different values from wonderful people of both the countries. Inserted in the book are over a 1000 pictures from Pakistan, some are related to tourism and others are related to people who have made important contributions in their work. The book also features success stories and ways to improve our society. As a big fan of Roxette and Mohammad Hafeez 'Professor', the book reflects what their work meant for me and how it shaped me and my thinking.
