Teji Grover’s prose has an elusive temperament, a transcendence that emerges from the echoes and images the narrative weaves. The many women in her fiction seem mythical creatures, who are smouldering with an ancient memory, in search of a paradise they were exiled from. Teji belongs to that tribe for whom an artist is essentially androgynous. As she strives to retrieve the primal woman in her fiction, a woman unencumbered by the civilizational constraints, the identity returns by a different route, creating a distinct discourse. Hindi, the language of her creative works, has an innate mythical character that has not yet yielded to the demands of rationality Meena Arora Nayak renders her fiction into English with an extraordinary deftness. This book, then, can also be read as an intimate conversation between the two languages. – Ashutosh Bhardwaj

About Author
Born in 1955, Teji Grover is a versatile individual, known for her roles as a Hindi poet, painter, translator, and environmental activist. Having spent two decades as a teacher of English literature at the University of Chandigarh, she made a significant life change five years ago. Relocating to Hoshangabad in central India along the banks of the river Narmada, Teji dedicated herself entirely to writing, painting, and translation.
Her activism extends to rural Madhya Pradesh, where she has played a pivotal role in developing an innovative, child-centered pedagogy. Teji has also been a staunch supporter of the dam-dislocated people of the Narmada valley and the victims of the 1984 gas disaster in Bhopal.
Teji Grover's literary contributions include five collections of poetry, a novel titled "Neela," and a collection of short stories called "Sapne Mein Prem ki Saat Kahanian." Her poems have been translated into various Indian and foreign languages, including Swedish and Polish. Teji has been actively involved in international literary festivals in Finland, Norway, and Sweden, where she has conducted readings and delivered lectures.
Recognized for her significant contributions, Teji Grover has received prestigious awards such as the Bharat Bhushan Agrawal Award (1989), the Raza Award for Poetry (2003), and a Senior Fellowship from the Central Ministry of Culture. She also served as the writer-in-residence at Premchand Srijan Peeth, Ujjain, from 1995 to 1997.
Teji Grover continues to contribute as the language consultant for Swedish and Norwegian for the multiscript magazine Pratilipi, fostering interactions between diverse forms of writing and writers.
