EnterI
A quiet corner for the things that are felt before they are said.
hersimplemusings is a collection of small observations — verses written over cups of chai, photographs taken on long roads and in passing fog, and art made with an unhurried hand. It is a place for softness that is never mistaken for fragility.
Placeholder text: a fuller introduction to the writer, her influences and her languages — English and Urdu — will live here.

They call her fragile, and I laugh a little
It’s not amusement I hear in my voice
The sound is tinged with sadness
She was never fragile
She was meant to be brave
She was meant for greatness
That’s where the world went wrong
When it thought labelling her fragile
Was their way of honouring womanhood
When womanhood, was never fragility
It has always been the epitome of strength
Quietly and loudly, she has always been courage
Brought to life
