Anuman ang mangyari, tiyak na ang tunay na pag-ibig ay makakahanap ng paraan para bumalik at magpainit ng iyong puso, na ginagawang maganda at kumpleto muli ang iyong buhay.

No importa qué, el amor verdadero seguramente encontrará su camino de regreso y calentará tu corazón, haciendo que tu vida vuelva a ser hermosa y completa una vez más.

Women have been cursed to live the life of secondary sex for centuries, and only women can change this reality. Not only in India but in the entire world, women are aching for a ray of hope to illuminate their world and remove the darkness spread in their life. All they need is courage, determination, and continuous effort.Santosh Srivastava's book, 'Mujhe Janam Do Maa' is a profound, strong, and well-researched expression of this effort. It is a compilation of articles written by her over six years of research. These articles were published as episodes in one of the columns of Samarlok magazine called Angana.Her six years of hard work and thorough research are visible in this book. Every article in this book compels the reader to think and exposes the aspects of women's issues which expose the irrationality of the patriarchal society. Each article in this book exposes the helplessness, pain, and deteriorating condition of women's life layer by layer through examples and descriptions.- Ravindra KatyayanHindi author, Mumbai
