Saheli Khastagir is currently working on her Masters in Psychology from Delhi University, India.

She says, “I am terrible at expressing myself and words slip through my fingers when I need them the most.  In my effort to express myself I discovered poetry and painting; when I run out of explanations, verses and colors come to my rescue, to give shape to my feelings.”  

Some of Saheli’s poems have appeared in “Mad Swirl”, ”Haggard” and “Halloo.”
