In Streaming Theories of Me, Dr. Tyagi explores the idea of men as 'Age Selective' and why men tend to marry much younger women. She also discusses the concept of 'Latent Marital Deception' and how it can lead to 'Manifest Marital Deception'.

She omits the letters ‘M’ and ‘A’ from the word ‘WOMAN’ to recreate it as ‘WON’ in her poem ‘I am a Won, not a Woman’. In the preface to Organic, she also coins two terms ‘hyper free verse’ and ‘hypo free verse’ for different forms of poetry. ‘Hyper free verse’ goes beyond the word limit in a line, while ‘Hypo free verse’ uses a limited diction in adhering to the fact that verse cannot be hailed as prose. In her book Cotyledons, Dr. Tripti introduces the concept of ‘Stheory’ where short stories can generate new ideas, theories or analysis. She also introduces the term men as 'Age Selective’ for men who long to marry only younger women, rejecting those elder to them. ‘Proposal Hierarchy’ is another term where men more often get the privilege to propose women, with women waiting for men to propose them. Dr. Tripti’s writings present new ideas and evaluate and criticize older concepts and theories. She challenges societal norms and patriarchy, introducing new terminology that addresses issues that have long been ignored. Her work is thought-provoking and invites readers to think beyond the established norms and explore new perspectives.
