We met Draco Malfoy in the dungeons and separated him from Crabbe and Goyle for a word.
"Mr. Malfoy, what are your views about FAST Literary Festival?"
"It's all my father's doing. He felt it was time to introduce some fun to this droll castle under the boring headmaster. So he forced the ministry and the school governors to organize this event.
That saint Potter has nothing to do with this. I don't know why everyone's assuming he, those stupid Weasleys, and that Mudblood Granger are behind this. Like they could pull off an event half the size of the fest. Wait till my father hea-"

"Thank you Mr. Malfoy I think we have enough."

As our team member exited the great hall, a soft voice called: "Hello Dear"
He turned around to see a woman. She was blond, in her forties and wore an emerald travelling cloak. She smiled widely at him which showed her 3 golden teeth.
"Mind if I have a quick word dear?"
"Yeah sure", our member replied.
She reached for her Crocodile Skin bag and withdrew an acid green quill which hovered into mid air, waiting for the command.
"What makes you so certain of the success of this event?"
"Well, we have spent a lot of time and energy into turning this idea into reality. I'm positive that we're ready, willing and able", he replied. The quill started scribbling.

Next day, the article in Daily Prophet said:
The host team member seemed to have difficulty remembering the details of the event. He seemed to be distracted by this reporter's beauty.
When asked about what makes them confident for this event, he said:
"Honestly, I'm not sure what's gonna happen. We are certainly not planning ahead with of time, and everything is in bits and pieces."

Our member crumbled the whole paper into a ball and tossed it into the nearest bin.

Interface has provided a vision and a direction to our Director Operations in his life. Want to know his story? Here you go!

"I am Danyal Saeed, and I am a potato. What I mean by this is I am unimportant, boring, totally replaceable, and useless! My joining Interface is one step in my journey to not be a potato – to be important, interesting, and most important of all – useful. Although it’s perhaps true that common man’s interest in literature, books and reading has diminished; but the pen (or the quill, or the typewriter or the keyboard) retains its ability to change the world. Maybe I can’t change the world. But it’s obligatory for me to play a part. And that’s what I hope to do. And that’s what I hope Interface does."

~ Danyal Saeed

Here is what our Director Magazine and Publications, Nimra Nasir has to say about her experience with Interface.

"What made me join Interface was my love for literature. Now it's been two years since I am in the society and the journey so far is one of the best ones of my life. I am more of a reader than a writer and what I love most about reading is that it takes you to the whole new world- a world of your own imagination where everything seems to be perfect!!"
- Nimra Nasir

Our General Secretary is none other than Waqas Nadeem! :)

“For me, affection with literature has never been a hobby but it’s a life style which I have adopted in order to satisfy my intellect. Interface is like a family to me which has recently grown large. Being General Secretary of Interface, I aim to leave a legacy for new comers for the continuity of unique ideology of this society.”
-Waqas Nadeem

We express our deep condolences with the families of Lahore blast victims.
Millions of lives have already been victim to these violent games. But are we afraid? No!
Would we ever give up? Never!
Would we ever fall prey to their heinous motives? Never!

They can bomb us, shoot at us, and slaughter us like butchers. But can they ever take away our high spirit? Never!
Can they ever try to scare us away? Never!

If you try to keep us down, we'll come back stronger.
We are Lahoris, we are brave Pakistanis!
