During the time of journalism’s hijack by sycophants, Obaid Siddiqi chose to enter into the arduous field of journalism, thus strengthening the number of people with literary backgrounds in this domain. Although Obaid was interested in Urdu poetry, he joined the BBC and also served as the director of AJK Mass Communication and Research Centre in Jamia Millia Islamia (Delhi). His experience in journalism enhanced his literary conscience since he was also deeply involved with socio-economic problems of our society. His first collection of poetry was published as ‘Rang Hawa Men Phail Raha Hai’ in 2010.
