I would like to say first and foremost the reason behind my decision to write this book. It was in 1990 I was working as a UGC Research Associate at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi. My husband received a large diary as a birthday gift from a friend of ours. He in return gave it to me kindly believing it would be more useful to me. I was very fond of that Diary. I used to write poems and they were scattered all over the place. So I started organising my poems very neatly in that diary. Then gradually I started putting down my thoughts too.
