About this ebook
Filled with various emotions and feelings in the moments of happiness and sorrow, romance, love and joy, pain and distress, a woman’s life has several dimensions much like the colours of a rainbow in the limitless sky.
Vama means woman. Vama Ka Indradhanush (literally meaning A Woman’s Rainbow) is a compilation of twenty-one stories, mirroring various aspects as experienced in the real lives of women in the Indian society belonging to different ages and classes of social strata.
From the 'Rani Sahiba' (Princess) of an erstwhile princely state in the pre-independence India, as described in the story ‘Holi’, to the heroine of the story, Kanta, who, due to the miserable financial condition of the family, is cursed to earn a sustainable livelihood by living miles away from her family.
From the heroines of the stories, Peela Sindoor (literally meaning Yellow Vermilion) and Tabla (a kind of repercussion drum in India), depicting the plight of women in a patriarchal society, bound by tradition and stereotypes sixty to seventy years ago, to the heroines of ‘Timtimate Taare’ (literally meaning Flickering Stars) and ‘Kavya’ who represent the changing mindset of the modern Indian woman.
The stories of this collection, representing many hues and colours of a woman's life prevailing at different times in the Indian social milieu, will surely touch and stir the hearts of sensitive readers and compel them to think about their upliftment in the real sense.

About the author
Mrs Ismita Mathur ‘Muskan’ was born on 21 Feb 1962 in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India. After her marriage, she shifted to Madhya Pradesh, where she later joined the services of MPEB, Jabalpur, in the telecommunications department. During her service career, she was an active member of the Women’s Complaints and Redressal Committee of her organization for about ten years and got exposed to mixed experiences of her contemporaries. She took voluntary retirement from the services in 2016, after serving for a long time of 28 years. Though she was a student of science and technology, she was inclined towards art and culture, and her hobbies hovered around literature, dance, music, painting, etc. The surrounding environment and day-to-day experiences related to the workplace, home, natural splendour and beauty of Jabalpur and long journeys to various parts of India kindled her writing skills which were expressed in the form of short stories, poems, memoirs, etc. Some of her writings have been published in the Sarita, Vanita and Madhurima sections of Dainik Bhaskar from time to time. She regularly uploads audio stories in Hindi on YouTube, over the podcast, under the names ‘Malti Ke Phool’ and Pratilipi FM. Earlier her two books namely Tumhari Kahani and Vo Kucch Jaani, Kucch Anjaani were published by Notion Press in 2021. In recognition of her service to enriching Hindi literature, she has been conferred with a national level award by Kadambari, a literary organization, and honoured by Paatheya publication house with ‘Patheya Shri Alankaran’. Madhya Pradesh Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company has also honoured her for her literary contributions on the occasion of Women's Day 2022.
