Whenever I had given this book to any of my friends, they would comment in wonder that I had taken their lives, turned them into fictional stories and made a book out of it and handed it back to them! There is a certain element of truth in this. This book features stories so familiar that these stories could very well be about me or even about each and every one of you reading it. Each of the nine stories has something to offer, be it terms of pure quality or something else in terms of quantity.When you are reading this book, be warned that you should be anxious too, because there is a huge part of me in there somewhere; even though I may not make that presence felt overtly, I will still meet you somewhere in there along its pages. In fact, these stories belong to me too. Whatever I know about women, I felt that whether it was one working out of our houses or a high-profile socialite, all were sympathetic, shy and struggle to break out of many personal and societal barriers.
