Beyond Pandora’s Box

Lakshmi Sree is a Class 11 student, born to parents from Kerala and raised in Chennai. An avid reader, she began exploring storytelling at the age of four, when she created the tale of a scary beast named “Crocopada” from “Heppapala” to frighten the “Moustache Uncle” she and her friends feared. Over time, she discovered her passion for poetry, where she expresses deep emotions through concise imagery and words. This book features a selection of poems she wrote between Class 8 and Class 10 while studying at Horizon International Academy, Chennai. At school, she served as the Vice-Captain of the sports team, won poetry competitions, and was the country topper in English in the Pearson Edexcel International Achievement Examination.
