A Report

With Ms. Carolina Salomi @ QSC

8th December 2025

Today we had a special guest for the II BA English Class, as part of their paper, Literature and Aesthetic Ideas.

Ms. Carolina Salomi – who did her UG in Physics and presently doing her II year Masters in Social Work (SFS) at MCC.

Ms. Carolina kept the audience in rapt attention all through her talk.

“I write about things that I strongly feel about! When you write, you understand yourself. Your thought process will become much clearer by the day. Most of the times, we hesitate to write, simply because we doubt if our writing will be perfect. But your writing need not be perfect”,

she quipped, and added -

All of us are born writers.  We are all born creators. We just need the courage to take the first step towards writing. Then the second step will become stronger. And the interesting part is – the first step is the hardest!

I started writing during my school days. Back then, I didn’t write with the intention of publishing it. I just wanted to write to express something that I felt deep within me.

In my second year UG I published my second book.

And through my writing, I was able to discover myself.

We all have that inspiration. We just need that fire to ignite our inspiration.

Moreover, you write so that your emotions are valued. We don’t write because we know the answer! We write because we search for answers.

The students had many thought-provoking questions for Ms. Carolina.

She answered them all with such effortless ease!

One question was –

We are afraid of expressing our emotions. What’s your suggestion on overcoming this fear?

Well, first you need to accept your feeling. Then you need to take ownership of your emotions. I don’t feel pressure while writing. I feel so comfortable and cozy when I write! You need not be scared to own your feelings or emotions. It’s okay to feel vulnerable. But you should be bold enough to express it in words,

she added.

When a student requested if she can read out from a poem she has written, she read out a poem titled, Love Fails.

Love never lies.

Love never fails.

Unless you fail it.

The poetry reading got tremendous applause from students.

Ms. Carolina is about to publish her third book of poetry this month.

Here’s wishing Ms. Carolina many many more impactful and rewarding years of writing!
