ABSTRACT

I’m not writing of all those innocent young girls I’vewritten of till now; girls who ultimately mated themselves with the rightmen. Nor am I writing a story of acallous, insensitive husband and a sensitive, suffering wife. I’m writing of us. Of Mohan and me. And I know this – you can never be theheroine of your own story. Self-revelation is a cruel process. The real picture, the real ‘you’never emerges. Looking for it is asbewildering as trying to know how you really look. Ten different mirrors show you ten differentfaces.1 (TLS-1)
