Foreword Dr. Anita Panda is an ophthalmologist of international repute. But with the same skilful hands with which she does delicate treatment of eyes, she yields her pen to create literature of the highest quality. Her creativity bears the stamp of erudition. Her father gave her a notebook and a pen to record daily happenings during her childhood. The prologue to the book amply demonstrates that she has a remarkable combination of facets which are rarely seen. For her knowing life comes easily and difficulties or challenges is a way of life. But the way she has faced them shows the immense inner strength which she possessed even from her childhood days. She has amply proved what Bertrand Russell said: "The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge".

Everything in life, whether it is happiness, whether it is entertainment, whether it is hardship, is a question of how one looks at things Dr. Anita Panda is a classic example of this reality of life. The great philosopher and former President Dr. S. Radhakrishnan observed: "Our life carries within it a record that time cannot blur or death erase," The creativity of Dr. Anita Panda, the author, will leave its footprints on the sands of time. The Author's Efforts don't die, a masterpiece of literature cannot go into oblivion because of the passage of time.

I venture to echo what George Bernard Shaw said: "The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and about the time". This can amply and aptly be said. about. Dr. Anita Panda's literary creation.
