Sreena, with six books to her name, including two fictions featuring Chinese mythological characters, published under the pen name Tara in 2017. She followed those with four poetry books: Incantations: whispers of nature, echoes of the soul, The Dichotomy Within, Let It Be Free, and Flora and Feelings. Her work often explores the themes of nature, love, loss, magical realism, fantasy, and self-discovery.

Sreena's work is a reflection of her deep contemplation on the profound aspects of existence. It's not about boasting or self-aggrandizement but rather an expression of the human experience in all its complexities. Jiddu Krishnamurti wisely said, "You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must rea ...more

The Price of Staying: Why Normalizing Infidelity Costs More Than You Think & Bollywood Effect

We often tell ourselves that staying with a partner who has been unfaithful is an act of "strength" or "forgiveness." We look back at years of shared photos and built-in history, and we find our hearts too heavy to let go. We call it love, but if we are honest, sometimes it is a "weak heart": a fear of the void that comes after the memories.
However, we must ask ourselves: What is the long-term int Read more of this blog post »

“I yearn to be like the river's flow,
Untethered, carefree, wherever I go.

A door to pain, a fetter to wear.”

Glean wisdom from the past, but don't let it sway,

Release the old chapters, embrace what's yet to grow.”
