Sher Tookhi, a cultural enthusiast, calls Virginia, USA, his home. A lover of books, cinema, music, and all forms of artistic expression, Sher's life is a beautiful tapestry woven with diverse influences.

In the U.S., Sher has built a modest yet fulfilling life in the hospitality sector, earning his bread while nurturing his love for the arts. His curiosity and passion for learning have made him a keen collector of world's best films, literature, and music. Whether it’s a latest book, a rare film, or a periodical that stirs the soul, Sher treasures these moments as reminders of the beauty that exists in the world, no matter the circumstances.


A wonderful human being, Sher Tookhi is admired by those around him for his persistence, warmth, and love for life. His story is one of resilience, a testament to how the human spirit can thrive even after displacement, and how cultural passions can serve as a bridge between past and future.
