Lakshmy Das spends most of her time contemplating on life and the lives around her, be it metaphysics, a roadside tea vendor or the flutter of a dragonfly’s wings. Her childhood in Kumily and the journeys she has made, instilled in her the critical perspective of a keen environmentalist and the curiosity of a child. She can best be described as an old soul who enjoys the simple things in life. A teacher and a storyteller rolled into one, her stories reflect an uncommon clarity and vision. Lakshmy currently resides in Kumily with her parents.
