My name is Swapna Raghu Sanand. Sounds too long? Just call me Svara, that’s fine.

I am an Indian mom who loves to tell stories. I dream a lot and love to live inside the world of books, more books and many movies. And that’s just a tip of the iceberg.

I grew up in Tehran (Iran), Lusaka (Zambia) and Blantyre (Malawi).

If you love true stories from across the world, then you and I are going places together!

When I write this newsletter, I put my heart's love into it before I send it out.

Inspired by Carson McCuller's words, "Writers are conscious dreamers who must imagine and imagination takes humility, love and great courage. How can you create a character without love and the struggle that goes with love?"

I share my heart's emotions here.

I'm grateful for your support - a heartfelt thank you!
