Mehaq Khurshied is an English graduate from Poonch, Jammu and Kashmir. She did her MA in English Literature from Ambedkar University Delhi. She writes often when a poem comes to her as naturally as leaves to a tree. She muses about the nostalgic memories of her home, to turn her perpetual home-sickness into a creative endeavour. She carries verses of Forough Farrokhzad, Mary Oliver and Plath on tip of her tongue, and a desire to write half as good as them in her heart. You can find her on Instagram: @blurryface03.
