The author had decided to write just one letter to her daughter who had gone abroad but ended up writing many. These letters, originally in Hindi, were published in the Air India’s magazine ‘Swagat’. Numerous travellers on Air India flights read these letters and enjoyed them. They would take the magazines with them to share with their daughters because they felt the letters were priceless and needed to be shared with every parent and daughter for a close read.

Publishing these letters in a book was a major social event because the emotions present in this are not limited to just one generation. Our (Indian) customs, rituals, traditions, art of living, and classical teachings are embedded in these letters. New generations can also learn, know, and accept them. With these intentions, this book is a unique communal treasure. While reading these you will certainly experience humanity, love, and feel a connection, but you will also learn how to cultivate a new generation.

After the author’s sudden demise in November 2020, her daughter decided to translate the letters into English to fulfill her mother’s wish—that the wisdom and advice contained in the letters reach a wider audience.
