Perveen Shakir was born on November 24, 1952 in Karachi, Pakistan. She also
studied English Literature and Linguistics at the University of Karachi and
taught the same to the undergraduates before joining the Civil Services of

those of a young emotional girl but that of a mature, sensitive women whose
individual perception has become a comprehensive, collective vision of throbbing
mind......... 3rd World International.
