Hibakidz got in touch with Muzzamil Asim for an exclusive interview.
Please, introduce yourself.
My name is Muhammad Muzammil Bin Asim, a grade VI Cambridge student at BVS Parsi High School. My hobbies are playing football, Scrabble and reading books.
Why did you choose Scrabble as a means of expressing your talent, especially when board games today are generally undermined?
Most of people think that board games are boring but once you develop the aptitude, you enjoy it a lot. When I was small, my parents bought me puzzles, Scrabble board and other such games. They took me to places, where competitions were being held, and they made me realize the importance of this game. Also, I am fond of exploring the world and observing different cultures and people. Scrabble is best way to fulfil this dream.
