A Young Literary Prodigy, Celebrating with Pride

Islamabad: As Ashleen Khan celebrates her 10th birthday today, September 19th, the entire staff at thepenpk.com joins in wishing this remarkable young talent a day filled with joy and happiness. Ashleen, the youngest contributor to the site, continues to amaze readers with her accomplishments, and today, we not only celebrate her birthday but also extend our warmest wishes to her parents, Shameela and Gareeb Nawaz, who have been instrumental in nurturing budding literary genius.
Ashleen’s journey as a young writer has been a source of inspiration, and her parents, Shameela and Gareeb Nawaz, have been her pillars of support. Their unwavering encouragement and guidance have played a pivotal role in shaping Ashleen’s passion for reading and writing.
At just 10 years old, Ashleen’s talent shines brightly. She began her literary journey as a Grade 3 student, and her reading skills are now on par with Grade 7. This remarkable achievement is a testament to her dedication and the nurturing environment created by her parents and educators.
Ashleen recently had the opportunity to visit Pakistan, where she embarked on an adventure that allowed her to meet the charming cat family known as Hackle, Jackle, Google, Phonix, and Sher Khan. Among these feline companions, there were three adorable kittens and two wise adults, with four of them adorned with distinctive spots, while Sher Khan displayed a striking combination of orange and white fur. Ashleen’s storytelling talent shone as she shared her experiences with the world.
In addition to her adventures, Ashleen has also ventured into the world of literary criticism, authoring a thoughtful book review of ‘Ivan the Gorilla.’ Her ability to analyse and appreciate literature at such a young age is truly exceptional.
Today, as we celebrate Ashleen Khan’s 10th birthday, we not only applaud her literary prowess but also recognise the love and support she receives from her parents, Shameela and Gareeb Nawaz. Their dedication to nurturing Ashleen’s talents is a source of pride for all of us.
Happy 10th birthday, Ashleen! May your journey continue to be filled with literary adventures, and may your parents, Shameela and Gareeb Nawaz, continue to be your guiding stars as you soar to even greater heights in the world of words and stories.

Ashleen Khan is ThePenpk.com’s youngest contributor and today she is celebrating her 10th Birthday. Happy Birthday Little Angel. God Bless You.
