　　After finishing a business degree in Melbourne, Sarina bought a one-way ticket to India, where she completed a corporate traineeship with the Sheraton. During this time she met an aspiring photographer who requested her to write a paragraph for one of his photos in the hope that he could get it published. The magazine accepted his photo and asked Sarina to turn her 100-word ‘caption’ into a 3000-word feature – and so began her freelance writing career. She soon landed a job with an American news agency, where she worked as a foreign correspondent, covering everything from Indo-Pakistan nuclear tensions to the latest Bollywood scandals.
