Aliza Siddiqui

I was born in Houston, Texas in 1999, to Pakistani physicians who later divorced, leading to my cosmopolitan world travel experiences that characterized my varied upbringing, ranging from London, to Bahrain, to Oman, to California. Publishing a trivial limerick in the fifth grade in a British Library anthology book, and subsequently winning an English class creative writing contest in the seventh grade, I've always enjoyed writing, particularly about romance genres, fictional topics, and melancholic life relationships in the form of poetry. I have also published my poetry extensively in her once-local Omani newspaper, called theweek. For leisure, watching romance movies, sleeping, and refining this cycle to perfection remain the activities that top the list; poetry writing belongs exclusively to occasional whims.
