About The Book

Set in the tranquil early morning hours of a small village nestled amidst hills and mountains, this book takes the reader on a journey through the life of Malan, a woman lost in the rhythmic motions of grinding at her stone grinder. With colorful bangles adorning her wrist and the gentle hum of the grinder, Malan reflects upon her life’s journey. Her movements are graceful, and her thoughts flow smoothly as she weaves stanzas of her life’s story, seamlessly blending moments of her childhood, love, loss, and the circle of life.

Through her eyes, we experience the full spectrum of life — from the innocence of childhood to the challenges of adulthood, from the joy of birth to the sorrow of death. The simplicity of her task and the peaceful surroundings make it hard to distinguish her words from the very rhythm of the grinder, capturing the essence of her inner thoughts.

This book is a poignant exploration of life’s profound moments, capturing both the beauty and sorrow of existence.
