"A lot of times there has been a discrimination between working women and not working women. It is always that people who are working are given accolades and people who aren't working are not given any value. So, I really wanted to focus on the women who are at home looking after their families. They are doing a tremendous job and this book is for them. This book celebrates them," Basu told PTI.

She added that the book explores subtle and intricate emotions of women, hoping that "the readers will appreciate women's lives and their contributions in all their richly varied forms".
