As you tread further along the path of poetry, you will gain confidence and interest in the vast oceans of our history and the incredible depths of the human experience. Yasha is a first-year Master of Information Technology (Computer Science) student. She had previously completed a Bachelor of Science (Biomedical Science) before a brief stint in medical school, where she ultimately realised that medicine was not the path for her. Yashaswini now spends her days debugging code, tutoring, writing poetry, and learning guitar; creative pursuits have always been important. She wants to share her passion for poetry with others so that they also find the stillness and beauty that poetry offers.
