Jia-Li YANG is a Chinese born Australia poet and micro story writer. She blogs and publishes under the pseudonym Cassa Bassa.

Bassa writes out a multiverse of eclectic compelling stories that describe her own experiences and her understanding of others, with a curiosity of humanity and what makes us really tick. Her poetry is bold, honest, and authentic.

A former IT professional for whom writing is a sort of unpaid mental therapy.

A self motivated life long learner decoding signs from the universe.

Akhila blogs passionately at wordsandnotion.com where you can find think pieces, weird observations, poetry and many of her other notions.

She has authored the book “Know them-One answer to many Questions”. She has also been a contributing writer for anthology collections namely 3 Elements Poetry Review, The Sound of Brilliance and Word Weaving #1. Sometimes she gets published in online magazines and journals too.

She believes in those conspiracies of the world where in pen moving across the paper, leaving ink on the palette, thoughts evolving themselves and words writing her serendipitous.

Her weirdness gets aligned with her real life stories and thought experiments. Some of her scribbles take birth even before she realizes what she is going to scribble. And at times it comes true so weirdly as if the words are flying in and evolving themselves.

Her interests vary from 'A rose in the garden' to 'Out of Body Experiences', from Data analysis to Quantum physics and so on. All she has is a wandering mind traveling even to the black hole and bleeding out her intoxicated imperfections though the undying love for words.

She lives in India with her family. She falls for books, rain, greens, waves and people who are not afraid to be themselves.

So are you that someone

• Who feels emotions deeper; be it compassion, love, pain, pleasure or depression

• Who loves to explore the meaning of life, soul connections, signs from universe

• Who loves poetry and motivational quotes
