“हर किसी को मुकम्मल जहाँ नहीं मिलता,किसी को दो गज़ ज़मीन, किसी को खुला आसमां नहीं मिलता।” (lines by Nida Fazli) They often echo in my head like a soft reminder — a truth we all live but seldom express. I’ve lived a life that, on the surface, might seem “settled.” I have a roof…

(Physical v/s Emotional) Living with a body that aches like it’s carrying the weight of my entire past—every scar, every trauma, every whisper of sadness, echoing in the pulse of my bones.
