Description

Ashes and Bloom by Fazila Hamid

This may not be a book filled with answers.
It may not offer solutions or success formulas.
But it offers something far more human — a soul laid bare.

In Ashes and Bloom, young Kashmiri author Fazila Hamid opens the pages of her heart with raw honesty. This deeply personal collection of poems, reflections, and emotional fragments may not have something for everyone — yet, those who choose to read it may find themselves gently stepping into an unfamiliar soul… and recognizing pieces of their own.

Fazila shares the unspoken, the overlooked, the tender truths of her life — drawn from her experiences as a teenage girl growing up in a world that often expects silence. From fleeting joys to silent griefs, each page captures emotions that are often felt but rarely spoken.

These writings are not about perfection.
They are about presence.
They are about the moments we don’t usually write about — and yet, they write us.

Whether it’s a line that makes you smile, or a verse that brings a quiet ache to your chest, this book invites you to feel, not just read.

“I have opened every chapter of my life in these pages,
so that maybe someone out there can feel something —
even if it’s just a moment of happiness or the weight of sorrow.”
