The author has given some memorable reminisces of her childhood and early schooling with a focus on some social disadvantages that have crept into our society. Her criticism ranges over several aspects of society like social behaviour, hypocritical religiosity, ill-treatment of backward teachers of their pupils, the evils of the caste system, and suppression of freedom of females in the society. She has liberal views about the freedom of girls in homes, educational institutions, and workplaces. She is a campaigner for freedom of thought, expression, movement, etc of the females in Indian society. In expressing these views she has no hesitation in breaking the taboo and calling spade a spade. She is courageous and writes with conviction. Hopefully, this booklet will be received with appreciation by the female community in our educational institutions.

This books main concern is all about “The essence of life and our purpose in it.” This types of questions that lurk in the back of many of our minds. When these questions arise, we can either develop our thoughts, or we can ignore the question all together. Questioning life and our meaning in it is what develops our mode of consciousness, or in other words, our self awareness, which then impacts our actions. Someone with a developed answer or an idea of the essence of life will have a good understanding of themselves and their duties on Earth. Although, someone who ignores the question, will become not much of a human at all, but more a thoughtless and purposeless group of living cells. ...
As a journalist on the crime beat, the author has spent long hours talking to those in uniform, those in the underworld and those in the grey zone – people who work as police informers. Much of what he has seen, heard and observed in over a decade of covering crime has found its way into print. But there’s a lot that’s spoken of in hushed tones, or buried in underworld lore. The underworld speaks its own language, and words are invented on the spur of the moment. A shooter is referred to as an “artist”, an informer is simply “zero dial”, Dubai is “Delhi”, while arrest is “get admitted”. Most of these are aimed at sending the police or adversaries on a wild goose chase. It’s a world that thrives on the spirit of enterprise, actively courts power and danger, and has conquered fear. The rules are straight and the ethics sacrosanct. The principles of ‘dhanda’ apply equally here – risk, profit and competition are at the very core. An informer will think nothing of selling precious information on a rival if it can earn him extra bucks or goodwill from the police.
