The collection of short stories in this book is mainly developed on incidents and happenings in real life, which the author has expanded or given shape to with her imagination. India is a vast country with different castes, creeds and culture but still bound by a unique oneness.  For a writer, the material available for short stories is unlimited. Our hopes, aspirations and ambitions play an important role in our lives. If any one of these is thwarted, either we submit and suffer or rebel. The stories reflect these emotions.

The author has attempted to bring out the real characters of people in her stories, and each one has a moral. She says, “I have lived my life with all my principles intact in spite of facing difficulties. I hope my readers will also learn something from the stories and face life’s ups and downs with moral courage.”
