"We also quite enjoyed a work of Rasana Atreya, [one of] a [two] runners up."

Tell A Thousand lies is an romantic rollercoaster float that creates we keep rooting for Pullamma as Atreya delightfully and hilariously infuses issues of class, religion, work, education, passionate roles, and a ties between women. --- Holly Michael
