Mamta Kalia started writing in the 70’s, around the time when the role of women in society and family was undergoing a rapid transformation. Her stories often revolve around the themes of love and marriage. They carve out in great detail the quiet desperation of family life and the aching desire for the woman to be more than a sum of her roles as a daughter, mother, wife and sister. Shikha in the story ‘Bolnewali Aurat’ holds in her a desire to burn brightly like a roaring fire and not like the diminutive flame of a prayer lamp, after which she is named.
