**_About the Author_**
 Premlata Varma was born in Delhi. She did her schooling 
in Delhi and did her graduation from the University of Calcutta. Being married to
Kailash Varma, of the Indian Foreign Service, she had ample opportunities to travel
around the world. She busied herself in different ways in different countries. Canada
afforded her the chance to do her Ph.D. in English Literature, while Kathmandu allowed
her to teach Post-Graduate students. During her husband’s posting in Germany she
worked on her book _Theatre Words_, that was published on her return.

_Why?_

You decided to go
 without a goodbye why? was I not fair? was I not kind? not true?
did love lapse somewhere? did I hurt or cause you pain? I’ll never know all I do
know– life will never be the same again.
