Nainika: Hi Nayab, first of all congratulations for another feather in your cap “It's all about dogs and bitches”. Coming to my first question:
Please tell us something more about yourself.
Nayab: I have lived in Mumbai all my life, I have been teaching for the past 14 years. I completed my Ph.D in English Literature from the University of Mumbai and worked as a Lecturer and Visiting Lecturer. I taught final year Journalism and Advertising students. In 2010 I relocated to the UK after marriage and since then I have continued my passion for teaching and learning. I have completed my DTLLS from the University of Warwick and am a lecturer at Milton Keynes College. Writing had always been my passion but I never thought of getting my stories published until my friend and husband motivated me to. I got my first publication here in the UK and after that have been part of many anthologies. I have a son and like spending time with him.
Nainika: Having so much love for writing, which genre do you enjoy most while penning down?
Nayab: I enjoy writing tragedies. I just feel that it comes very naturally to me.
Nainika: Amongst all your works(previous and upcoming), which one is your favorite
Nayab: My forthcoming publication in Mother Nature "Thorns"
Nainika: What would you like to say about your story, “Betrayal” in “It’s all about dogs and bitches”?

Nayab: It is a true story and the readers will relate and connect to it immediately.
Nainika: Tell us something about the lead characters of your story.
Nayab: Bilal is an arrogant, over smart, rich and stupid boy, whereas Afsheen is sensible, down-to-earth and loving girl. They are both are opposite to each other and for once I have proved it that "Opposites only attract that’s it!"
Nainika: Considering your previous works, what extra does this story has to offer to readers?
Nayab: It is a unique story in itself and the readers will definitely enjoy reading it.
Nainika: Rate your story on the scale of 10.

Nainika: Why should we, the readers, pick up "It's all about dogs and bitches"?
Nayab: It is a unique theme and title for a book.
Nainika: What would be your message for readers?
