Kashmir: Srinagar girl Bisma Ayoub releases second book

BASHARAT RASHID

Srinagar (J&K) : Lately, young writers are emerging in the valley in good numbers making their presence felt in social circles. These passion-driven youth are showing up particularly in the field of literature, as writers of prose and poetry, which clearly indicates that Kashmir has a lot of talent, that needs to be polished and endorsed.

24-year-old Bisma Ayoub, a resident of Srinagar has been working hard to chase her dreams and has come up recently with her second release.

Bisma belongs to the Bota Kadal area of Srinagar city, who has made her name already in the literary field a year back through her maiden anthology.

Her anthology “The Creative Minds” was a collection of many minds, with a touch of creativity, based on poetry brought together by all of its co-authors.

She has now come up with her second book titled, “MUKHTASAR” (a short journey of pain).

The writer has been a ‘keen abstract writer’ from the very beginning.

Bisma said that she has dedicated this book to everyone who has, “loved, lived, and left the world.”

” We all face rejections, failures, and heart-breaks, but one should not succumb to adversities, in fact, one must strive and struggle and should try again”, Bisma said with a cheerful smile.

Bisma believes, “one should learn, live and love, and should not let any temporary feeling ruin his/her present or future. One can be an inspiration to many and change their life in a significant way . By staying positive makes you healthier, happier, and  more fulfilled.”

Talking to Arising State, Bisma said that she has not given any title to the poems in this book, as she does not want to cage the feelings or emotions rather wants to let them free.

She further said, “I want my readers to give an Abstract title to the poems, as per their feelings they may experience while reading it.”

Adding, dreams are meant to be chased, you will fall, you will fail, but you will fly at the end. And that will be a never-ending journey”, explained Bisma.

It is pertinent to mention here that Bisma’s first book “The Creative Minds” was published in 2020, with an aim to encourage the real young talented writers from Jammu and Kashmir, who hardly get recognition in their field.
