Jayshree Misra Tripathi's words conflate experiences from early childhood, through fearful adolescence into the rapture of young adulthood, the ecstasy of first love, the pain-wrenching euphoria and anguish of marriage, motherhood or its absence, its loss. Through it all, love is provoked. Her words delineate intrinsic love and yearning, infinite joy and sorrow.

"At the centre of these woman-centric poems and songs, is an educated, deeply sensitive, urbanite woman. The wide range of the poet’s personal and professional experience is reflected in the variety and novelty of themes and experiments in this collection. a fusion of fact and fiction."- Jaiwanti Dimri
