Dear reader, It is a pleasure to have you read this. In my cover story iI have highlighted the reasons why I pursued this, and with me being a student it has been very difficult to juggle between the two. I have given in my efforts to present to you something which might please you, I have made an effort to bring in something for everyone. I myself wanted to add in more elements and make it more interactive but due to constraint of time and my strict desire to only deliver the best restricted me from doing so and me being the only one doing everything made it even more tough. My exams will begin soon and hence I wanted it to be now, and there are many who I have to thank, for being my support and whenever I thought of let go due to extreme stress they pushed me to carry on. I am extremely grateful to my parents, my brother, my all time advisorsmy friends who actually helped me in making this happen and all the websites and sources which helped me make this. Thank you all and an even bigger thank you to you for taking time and considering reading this. Hope you enjoy! Yours faithfully, Ayesha.Syed
