When Shreya isn’t working, she pursues her love for Rumi's writings and Slam Poetry. She is always up for chats about world cuisine, poetry, and random existential questions like ‘What is the meaning of life?’. Her closest friends primarily see her as the person who brings back Indian sweets, every time she visits home!
