Talking about her life and studies, Jarnail Singh said that in my first three story collections, along with the life of a farmer and a soldier, the breakdown of relationships and in the later stories, the problems of Punjabis living in Canada, the generation gap, cultural tensions, and conflicts are fictionalized. I first find a basis for the story, then collect the material through research methods and later give it the form of a story through my imagination. I believe more in qualitative than quantitative.
The plot of a story travels in my mind for months. Every time I get up, sit down, walk, eat, the story is traveling with me.
