Mir Sehrish, who has cleared the written examination of the National Defence Academy (NDA), is now preparing for the crucial Services Selection Board (SSB) interview, carrying with her the hopes of her family and the inspiration for many young girls across Kashmir.
For Sehrish, the dream was never limited to conventional career choices. Since childhood, she had imagined herself in the skies, driven by a fascination with space and aviation.
“Since my childhood, I wanted to become an astronaut,” Sehrish says with quiet confidence.
