Ever since I published my first book on the 3rd December 2020, I have been trying to close in on this book. The chapters were ready. But like married life, I tend to find loopholes and flaws in my creation# 2.

The first book was somewhat disjointed. My good wishers took pains to convey those lacunae to me without any demure. I have taken care to see that this one make good the drawbacks.

These scribbles from my diary convey my shredded thoughts - some of them tumbled out while I converted my handwritten journals into a digital form.
