Dr. (Mrs.) Krishna Saksena, a professor of Delhi University has to her credit a number of publications appreciated and liked by her readers. She has lived long and feels that every moment can be an awakening. With a slight bent towards spiritualism her works find a touch of this aspect. For her faith is the spirit that sustains life and lights up the deep caverns of human heart. The flow of life, she captures in the rhythm of form. Suffering all her life, she feels strongly that no one can save us but ourselves. We ourselves must walk the path. The moment one accepts this truth, it is a moment of renewal, a new beginning.
The author, crossing 86 years of her life, looks back through the mist of time. There were timeless moments when she walked out in her youth, finding every day an awakening. Those were simple days, of simple people, few rules yet great achievements. She recounts those incidents that still stand sharp in her memory, people she cannot forget, and happenings that show her the way and give shape to her philosophy of life. Interesting incidents and peculiar personalities are sure to catch the attention of all those who go through this book and see the difference between how things are today and how they were not long ago.
Dr. Krishna Saksena's latest book "The Tales my Wrinkles Tell" is a wonderful collection of stories, reminiscences and discourses, very readable and containing wisdom acquired over a lifetime. Some of the stories are about Priti, a thoughtful young girl and her family of six sisters, in which the author revisits her past and derives some valuable lessons from her experiences. In others, Priti enters into a dialogue with her wise neighbour, Mrs.Vadvani, who expounds her views about the meaning and purpose of life, about God, religion, bhakti, and righteous living, but throughout the author maintains a light touch which keeps the interest of the readers alive. It is a book which teaches while it entertains and explores spiritual concepts in simple language.
