An artist by passion and an engineer by profession, Lakshmi straddles between two strong forces within her: an intuitive, creative force and an analytical force. She tunes into these forces every day through her role as a founder of Layasthana (a start-up with a mission to bridge the gap between art and design) and through her corporate role as an engineering consultant. Her work in Moon, Snakes, Love was born through intimate
moments of deep sadhana: meditating, walking in nature, and during creative bursts of word-play. She invites her readers to tune into their inner selves as they read this book.
