The late twilight musings of the one who is passing through the late twilight period of her life is what this book is all about. When I look back and peep in to my past the various happenings of my life pass through my mind like the scenes in a movie-some happy. some sad, some fulfilling and some when I cursed myself, and so on. At this point of my life I feel like the one who is standing ready in the Railway plat form of life with all my luggage-the accumulated tendencies or thoughts or Samskaras to board the train, my carrier, that will arrive shortly for my unknown onward journey. I do not remember how many times I have stood like this in the Railway platforms safeguarding all my belongings, every time ready to board the train that was likely to arrive shortly.
