In our fast-paced life, sometimes we just feel like stopping and pondering. Pondering takes us

back through memory lanes and makes us relive and revisit the experiences we have encountered

in our life. This book is a mirror of such pondering that I did when my terribly busy life as an

aviator and a mother came to a standstill during the pandemic. The seven short stories in this

book are experiences of different women in different age groups, whom I have met and been

intrigued by. Some of these experiences are unique, while some are common, nevertheless, I felt

both kinds are worthy of sharing. That is what I have done in my first attempt to write a book.

These stories reflect how in many ways, known or unknown a woman's life is affected by the

people she comes across. This book is also a gift I am presenting myself on my 40th birthday to

celebrate daydreaming and pondering.
