Omar Sharif grew up in Assam, India. He writes short fiction grounded in place, memory, and the idea of home. Often seen through a child’s perspective, his work traces how inherited stories and practices – folk belief and everyday social pressures – persist, evolve, and complicate ordinary lives. His stories have appeared in newspapers and journals in India. He currently lives and works in Oxford, UK.
