             Rashmi Barthwal published very few Garhwali stories. However, whatever she wrote she wrote about life sketches of common women of rural Garhwal.  Rashmi has been successful in creating images of rural Garhwali women and their daily life. The story telling style of Rashmi is simplistic without much twist and binds.  She is master of creating imagery in storytelling.

    The story ‘Vin ki Katha‘is about daily life of daughter in law Rukma. The life sketch of Rukma starts from morning to night till she wants to sleep.  The readers get engaged in knowing daily work of a rural Garhwal woman of sixties.  Rashmi uses Ganga Salani dialects in story narration and simple phrases make the perfect images of rural Garhwal.
