The writer is a compassionate and skilled obstetrician and gynecologist who deals with an array of issues in her writing and is involved with many social causes.
The central character in every story is a woman or girl unable to lead the life she dreamt of due to restrictions imposed in the name of customs and superstitions.
Turbulent Sea, Bangles and Present Day Saga reflect the lives of such women.
Inferno and Vacillating Minds deal with the subjects of dysfunctional families, sexual harassment and discrimination shown by classmates from richer backgrounds refer to the mental conflict young girls face on account of dysfunctional families. They show the need for psychological counseling to overcome their problems and fears.
The title story Battlefield is about how no lay person can really understand the challenges and desperation felt by medical and paramedical personnel caring for Covid patients, regardless of their own discomfort and difficulties, and facing the wrath of their patients' families and often, the public. The grim reality is that the Covid hospital is nothing short of a harsh battlefield.
It also includes a remarkable tale ‘Battlefield’ showcasing the plight of frontline workers fighting against the deadly coronavirus, as a tribute to the covid warriors.
The language is lucid yet strong along with a commendable narration that directly touches our hearts. All of the stories depict the dark reality of our society and are really touching and emotional. And at the same time inspirational and insightful too. Do go for it if you are in for some real, intense stories.
Short and thought provoking
