Anantnag, Oct 10: Shahid Ul Islam, a young student from Mantipora Shangus in south Kashmir’s District Anantnag, has penned down his very first book called “The Crestfallen Soul”.

Shahid told Rising Kashmir that in his book, he talks about moments of happiness, the beauty of life, memories, heartbreak, and sadness. Each poem brings out a different feeling, making the reader feel very deeply.
“I have dedicated this book to past love and the strong feelings that inspired me to write about “The Crestfallen Soul”,” he said, adding that the writing is full of passion and paints a vivid picture of emotions.
