Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on July 26, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Musharraf Ali Farooqi! Another year wiser and still crafting stories that make us laugh, cry, and ponder life's mysteries. From the poetic elegance of "Between Clay and Dust" to the delightful wit in "Rabbit Rap," your literary genius continues to charm readers worldwide. Who knew translating ancient epics could be as thrilling as a cricket match?

Your journey from Karachi's bustling streets to Canada's snowy landscapes has given you plenty of material—and we're grateful for every word you've penned along the way. May this birthday bring inspiration (and perhaps fewer deadlines). Keep dazzling us; literature needs more heroes like Salar Jang—and writers like you!
