This is the autobiography of renowned author Amrita Pritam who says that her biography can be written on a revenue stamp.

Amrita Pritam was a renowned Indian poet and writer, best known for her works in Punjabi and Hindi literature. Born on August 31, 1919, in Pakistan, she became one of the leading literary figures of the 20th century. Her poetry often explored themes of love, loss, and the pain of partition, reflecting her personal experiences. Amrita's most famous work is her poem "Ajj Aakhaan Waris Shah Nu", a poignant expression of grief over the violence and upheaval during the Partition of India in 1947.

She was a pioneering female voice in a male-dominated literary world, breaking barriers and challenging social norms. Throughout her career, Amrita wrote novels, short stories, and essays, and her works have been translated into several languages. Her 1950 novel, "The Revenue Stamp", an autobiographical account, became highly acclaimed for its raw, candid portrayal of emotions and relationships.

In 1981, Amrita Pritam received the Sahitya Akademi Award for her contribution to literature. Her relationship with the poet Sahir Ludhianvi, although not a romantic one, remained one of the most celebrated in literary history due to its deep emotional connection. Amrita Pritam's legacy is immortalized in her timeless writings, which continue to inspire generations of writers and poets. She passed away on October 31, 2005, but remains an iconic figure.
