Sahana Venugopal (Waseda ‘20)
Sahana Venugopal (Waseda ‘20)
21, INFJ, and called Hani for short, Sahana is an aspiring investigative journalist and writer studying at Waseda University. She's Indian and always happy to have a long conversation in English, Tamil and Japanese, or a short chat in Hindi. Apart from overshooting the word count on any piece of writing she's assigned and causing readers to fight through the paragraph-long sentences in her articles, Sahana loves reading, film photography, martial arts, writing fiction, debating, randomly vanishing on unplanned hikes, listening to music and planning day trips. When she's not scribbling away, you'll find her searching Tokyo for the perfect cup of coffee, haunting the darkest part of a misted forest removed from humanity, or lost on the University campus and imploring seniors to decipher kanji for her. The average person has a 9/10 chance of getting into an argument with her.
