"Echoes and Embers" is about people and places, exploring the impact of past experiences and their significance on the overall growth and development of human behavior. It is a mosaic woven with stories of courage, success, and resilience. The book is culture and event-specific, with an eye on the variegated dimensions of cross-cultural influences. It is a cocktail of Babylonian magnificence with amenity woven in extreme deprivation.
"Her needs were timorous and her dreams ashen, but she was not fainthearted. She laughed loud on a joke, and her face would become radiant as if she had a treasure of happiness hiding inside. She would ask for a canvas cover for her boat or a few dresses for her children when winter approached. It had become my habit to check her bedding for her children once the winter chill from Dal Lake started causing frostbite on their tiny hands and feet. Her self-esteem would be too high to succumb to her needs; she was the least greedy person. On acute winter days, she would come and sheepishly ask for some rice and pulses to feed her children, transfixing her eyes on the ground".
