Srishti Sharma has beautifully captured the struggle of balancing passion with practicality. Through her journey from a child enchanted by books to a published teen author, then a science student torn between societal expectations and her love for writing, she reveals the pain of silenced dreams and the healing power of words. She urges us not to abandon our passions for survival but to carve new paths where both dreams and responsibilities can coexist. Srishti Sharma is a fourth year veterinary student from GADVASU with a strong passion for animal health and welfare. Serving as the Vice President of IVSA Ludhiana, she has organised many events for the organisation and has constantly been using her skills for helping the voiceless. Beyond her academic pursuits she is an exemplary writer and poet. Also an avid reader, Srishti started writing at eleven and has never looked back since then. Already having two books to her credit, she wishes to contribute great work to the literary field.
