V. Reyashini three years old. She lives in a castle surrounded by a moat. She has a pet dragon who breathes fire over the land at her behest. On her little head sits a small crown, while her tiny hand holds a sceptre.

So goes life in Reyashini’s fantasy world, befitting her name – “Reya” means queen in Spanish and goddess in Tamil.
