As a writer, an editor, and, above all, as a woman, Sathya Saran derives meaning from life's events that otherwise just pass us by. Whether it's the little flower girl at a temple, a spider on the wall, or the view from her window, her thoughts and insights connect with and inspire you - no matter who or where you are. Culled from her writings over the years, in the column that has touched readers' lives for two decades, this anthology is a reflection of the ever-changing face of the world Saran inhabits. Perceptive, lyrical and moving, this is a book you will dip into time and again. Sathya Saran's tryst with her readers in Femina, the magazine she reinvented in 1993 and nurtured till 2004, took the shape of a column called Me To You. The column continues till date, in Me, the magazine she now edits for DNA, and is a reflection of the ever changing face of the world she inhabits.

"Sathya Saran should have been a poet. Her page is just an extended narration of a poem. I have followed her column ‘Me to You’ with extreme enthusiasm and sincerity. She has many readers and admirers, but I remain one of her earliest fans who found her through her works. I discovered her short stories and became a bigger believer in her writings. She has done a great favour for her regular reader by compiling this selection of ‘Me to You’. Her encounters with the common-man-woman is like an encounter with herself. The same becomes a discovery of the innerself for the reader. In Cityscapes, her experience with people tends to become a renewed ‘discovery of India’, with all its misery and pollution. It is not for the outsider that she writes, but she keeps digging the soil of her soul, keeps sowing, planting, pruning and questioning it like Buddha in search of salvation. She is poetic. She should have written poems. Every time I read her column it inspires me to write a poem. She should have been a poet." - Gulzar
