"I wrote my first poem on my motherland, kashmir ,under the title" Kashmir In Crisis" as this was the situation I witnessed since my birth. I even lost my father before my birth due to these situations in Kashmir and I know the struggle,the sufferings, the tears of my mother that she went through when she was a 4 months bride "
"How she raised me up, How she never let me feel the absence of my father but there were still some moments in life where I felt his absence, well after writing my first poem it just felt as if i had kept myself pen and paper away" said Sundus Rashid to AUYK Blogs
She mostly wrote poems related to current situation or anything happening around her and how as a girl she feel and how she take things , actually about a lot of things which were just prisoned in mind, difficult to talk about but easier to pen down and now she is going to publish her book titled as Behind Her Smile
It is a collection of poems that are based on the things , a person goes through but still pretends to be ok. She wrote the poems that are based on my real life experience or whatever she have witnessed as mentioned above.
Most of people can relate these poems as whatever she witnessed or experienced is common nowadays like the condition of Kashmir, depression , drug addiction , child abuse, a life of a girl or teen age stuff is not only witnessed or experienced by her but every one .
"Now I choose it as "her smile" because I'm myself a girl and the collection of my poems are written as words of a particular girl and as it is said a person can hide million of things behind a beautiful smile and most of the people of this generation is going through the same so I named it as Behind Her Smile" said Sundus.
Currently she is a co author of 5+ anthologies and compiler for 3 anthologies besides that she is into sketch making and craft work.
