“Living in Clouds: A Memoir” is a deeply engaging account that weaves together personal memory, cultural history, travel and the inner workings of Pakistan’s medical world. Drawing on more than five decades of experience, Dr. Khwaja Ahmad Abbas reflects on a life shaped by curiosity, service and responsibility – from youthful adventures and formative encounters to the demanding task of managing a nationwide mother and child health programme.

Written with clarity and quiet insight, the memoir offers a rare view into the evolution of medical education, public health and institutional leadership in Pakistan, seen through the eyes of a physician who has served as Professor of Pediatrics and Dean at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), and as Professor and Head of Pediatrics at Shifa College of Medicine, Islamabad.

At once intimate and expansive, 'Living in Clouds' is not merely the story of a medical career, but a meditation on learning, duty, travel and the human dimensions of healing – capturing how a life in medicine unfolds alongside the changing social and cultural landscape of the country.
