by Rukhma Baig

Rukhma Baig
Hi, my name is Rukhma Baig. I am a part-time doctor and a full-time writer. In my free time, I am often lost in reverie, weaving kingdoms in my mind and connecting threads of imagined plots. Imagination is a gift I refuse to waste. My writing explores the complexity of human emotions and the experiences that bind us together. Though my words seldom rhyme, they are layered with symbolism and written simply enough to stir the heart. I am drawn to the quiet moments, the unspoken griefs, the enduring hopes, and the contradictions that make us human.
