VISHAKHA SHROFF I'm a creative writer based in Delhi. In my quest for 'self. I Love to Write anything related to the self which voices the heart. It has been a pleasure to interview people with an expanded consciousness contributing to a better society.

Children hold a special meaning in my life. I teach Creative writing in English to primary children to help them develop a love for books and the language. Parenting and teaching to me is like brailing the wonders for the world-blind children. How beautiful it is to be able to lead our little wonders to a world of joy!

In profuse reverence to the Universe and to my guru, Master Minood I look forward to serve my 'self' and my society.

Life is full of magic only if we understand its language; and learning this language is the journey!

The journey of translating this book has been very gratifying and helped me to expand my own consciousness as a woman. It was almost as if an inner voice held my hand and led me to the place where I was offered to translate this book.

When I read the original book in Hindi, 'Andhera- Ujala' written by esteemed Dr. vishnu Pankaj, I fell in love with the book. I was pleasantly surprised that a man could be sensitive enough to feel and flow with the feelings of a woman so deeply. Here I'd like to take the opportuity to falicitate Dr. Vishnu Pankaj for being a sensitive human being, a being of depth and vision.

The protagonist of the novel speaks of self-love and talked of the much needed awareness in women today. Translating this book was like a gift to myself and a small contribution from my side to our society which aims to stir the hearts of men and women shaking them from their deep slumber, to live life more meaningfully and experience the joy of a more loving, compassionate and balanced society. Truly said- 'The tragedy in life is not death, but what we let die inside us while we live!'
