Sultan came into our lives incidentally but soon he became an integral part of our family.

My husband had his last posting in Guwahati, Assam. One day Sultan was sleeping beside me, taking his afternoon nap. Suddenly a thought came to my mind, "The Sultan is a thinking being, he must be seeing things from his point of view. He must be interpreting the developments from his perspective. But what can be his perspective?"

I tried to probe into this question, but soon some ideas struck me and I immediately jotted them down in a few papers. After my husband's retirement, we settled down in Gurgaon. When I started working on this book, I tried to see Sultan's world from his point of view. I have made an honest attempt to portray his perspective in this book.
