Kupwara, Nov 21 (KNO): Soliha Majeed, a 16-year-old aspiring doctor from Batergam village of north Kashmir's Kupwara district, draws inspiration from the achievements of Dr Sehrish Asghar, an IAS officer and Deputy Commissioner Baramulla. Dr Sehrish serves as a role model for Soliha, who not only dreams of becoming a doctor but also expresses herself through poetry and prose by working on two books. Speaking to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Soliha shared her journey, saying she was born in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and moved to Kashmir with her parents at the age of 5. As the only daughter among four siblings, Soliha said she began her writing journey just in the last 4 to 5 months and finds solace and expression in words. “I was suffering from some physical ailment earlier this year which drove me to express my inner voice through writing. Words have now become my emotions,” she said. Soliha said she once heard a girl on the internet saying that age doesn't matter, rather it is maturity that counts. She is currently working on a book as well apart from writing poems. About family support, she said they have always been there for her in every situation. “My parents and teachers played an instrumental role in nurturing my talent and providing guidance during critical situations,” she said. Presently pursuing a medical stream at Government Girls Higher Secondary School Kupwara, Soliha said a lot of her writing is about different stories. “My writing is about life, its experiences, and everything that happens to an individual like depression, success, unexplained feelings and the silence within, which impacts a person,” she said, adding that her writing extends beyond personal experiences and encompasses broader topics like mental health—(KNO)
