US-based Kashmiri poet and film writer Sunayana Kachroo tackles a range of themes including homelessness, gender issues, religion, grief and healing in her second book “Sunny Side Up”.

A collection of poems and short stories, “Sunny Side Up” offers an intimate portrait of the artist as she pens an ode to Kashmir and to all the places that her roots have touched in a chapter called ‘Home and homeless’. Similarly, the writer takes a witty jab at the patriarchal mindset ‘Good gilrs don’t abuse”.
