“Deeply reflective, with histories and myths that link to now.”
Freya Rohn, The Ariadne Archive
“Swarna writes thoughtful, weekly pieces on forgotten bits of human histories, tragedies and cultural stories. Consider subscribing to her if you're interested in opening your perspectives to the less-trodden tales and of fading cultures brought back by people with the passion to write about them.”
Thomas J. Pellarin, The Nostomodern Review
“Intelligent, interesting, wise stories on history that so often gets buried.”
Renee Faber, The Creator's Compass
