Speaking about the same, Ashwiny reveals, "Travel is a very important part of my being. Visiting new places, understanding the culture, the ethnography of a place, and people give me a lot of ideas and inspire me to adapt them in the movies I make or even in the stories I write. In "Mapping Love", the places I have visited and researched played an important role in shaping the story. Whether it's my love for the jungles or the mountains or the spiritual calling that attracts each one of us to spend time in the unknown places that becomes your own after a while. The rooted connection of place and time creates stories that deepen the story and the characters with your vivid imagination."
She further adds, "I carry my book wherever I go and write notes which come back with me home and most of the time the notes gets translated with my fiction and characters and the place they belong to are born with these notes. Travel opens your mind to various possibilities in my case it opened my imagination as a storyteller. Sometimes as a learner sometimes as a seeker."
