Sayali Kulkarni - known as @sempervirent_ on Instagram- makes her entry into the world of writing with her first ever poetry collection. She began writing since the 9th grade but that was hidden from the world. In the late august of 2017, she felt the urge to polish her writing and was even encouraged by her friends to showcase this unrecognized love towards words on a larger platform. This then became a means of coping with life and its ordeals. Connections grew stronger than ever which now make her realize the universe does have our back. She recently completed her Masters in Commerce from Brihan Maharashtra College of Commerce (BMCC), Pune, India. As her next milestone, she hopes to pursue PhD in Economics. She is an avid reader and loves to be called a librocubicularist. {a small note for all readers, a second part of 'a vague reminiscence' is soon going to be published.}
