Aarthi Srinivasan is a liberal dreamer and an exceptional procrastinator. She spends generous amounts of time in morphing characters, forgetting about them, and weaving complicated, humorous circumstances for them. She believes that a story gets twice interesting if humour is added, and that’s what she endeavours to do.
