In my first book, before shaping the emotions of inner conflict and sorrow into words, I have endeavored to stay as close to natural expression as possible. I have depicted the anguish and inner turmoil of Urmila, Mandavi, Shrutakirti, and the three mothers in the Ramayana.When the men of the palace embraced an ascetic life to uphold their vows, how did the women of the palace endure that time, supporting one another? I have also portrayed the emotions of Bharat, who embodies the purest definition of righteousness and duty.How did Mother Kaushalya’s warmth and maternal love preserve the years of sorrow endured by the women of the palace, ensuring that their grief never became so overwhelming that the "clouds of pain" would break into a storm?
