Introduction

Mohammad Ali Shah—affectionately known as Ali—was born and raised in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in the loving care of parents whose warmth shaped his world. As the youngest of six siblings, with two elder sisters and three elder brothers, Ali was the treasured “prince” of a close-knit family of eight, growing up surrounded by affection, guidance, and inspiration.

He pursued his Bachelor of Commerce in Karachi, Pakistan, where his academic journey further broadened his worldview. Today, Ali resides in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where he serves at a highly respected law firm, balancing professional responsibilities with personal passions, all while raising his beloved daughter.

A dreamer by nature and a storyteller at heart, Ali’s journey as a writer began in childhood. Long before he ever typed a word, his mind was alive with characters and narratives—born not from reality, but from the boundless realm of imagination. These vivid inner worlds, once silent companions, eventually demanded to be shared. Over the years, fleeting ideas matured into fully formed stories, and his passion for writing took root—blossoming into a lifelong commitment to storytelling.

Now, with his words polished and his voice ready to be heard, Ali presents Mere Khayalon…, a deeply personal and heartfelt work. This book holds a special place in his heart, and he hopes it touches the hearts of readers with the same magic and emotion that inspired its creation.

To date, Ali has authored eleven books, including celebrated titles such as Street 12, True Story Part 1: Obsession, and Us Rah Par. With each story, he continues to invite readers into the unique universe of his thoughts—where fiction feels real and imagination knows no bounds.
