Extremely quick witted and humorous, Lakshmi is a published author of romantic novels as well as a series of 8 books on Life Skills for Children. She has also written children’s stories in verse format for an iPad app called iStorytree.​ Now based in Mysore, Lakshmi’s take on the things that an Indian-American faces and also how different it is when they come back to India is very humorous, while being poignant as well!
