This book is a kaleidoscopic ride into Nani’s life set in pre and post-independence India right until Instagram stormed our lives. She led a life of purpose when odds were stacked against her. Born into a humble family of six siblings, in a heavily caste and gender prejudiced society, much before India gained freedom, Nani shattered the unwritten glass ceiling by attaining a graduate degree, carving a career at the National Family Planning Commission of India and following Ambedkar’s ideology of obliterating caste discrimination. Through her eyes, you will witness different periods of social and technology evolution within India. In an epoch, when women were primarily home makers, Nani led a life of her choice, choosing love, equality and faith. This book is a tribute to Nani, her old-fashioned wisdom that she imprinted on the author's impressionable mind through her life and living. You will find a sneak peek into her childhood spent on farms, the love of her life whom she met when in high school, a long-distance marriage across a thousand miles and a profession that educated people about the healthy number of babies to make!

Through these timeless stories, the author shall bequeath to the next generation, the treasure trove of Nani's sapience - the secrets she whispered in her ears.
