What's Sulario? Why Sulario?
Okay, I have to admit I am not a big fan of my real name. As a writer I want to protect myself from all kinds of prejudice. I want to create an identity for myself that disguises actual me. So, I thought why don't I have a pen-name?
Choosing a name of one's own wasn't easy! I wanted to have a name that doesn't give anyone a clue where I'm from, what's my cultural origin, or which religion my forefathers followed. Finding such a name is actually more difficult than you think. However, I was fortunate. Suddenly I remembered the name of a favorite character from a fictions. That character was very strong, manly and lionhearted. But more than anything else, I liked his name: Sulario. This name met my criteria of ideal pen-name. Thus I became Maruf Sulario.
It's not a tough ask to find out my real name in this era of internet. Actually if you follow few of my writings, you'll get it anyway. But I don't think people care about what my name is unless they really want to know me more. So let my name just be Maruf Sulario for now!
