Daughter of Rajaram Chaubey and Basanti Devi Chaubey, she was born at Moradabad and later moved with her mother and father to Varanasi, where her grandfather was invited to teach Persian in the newly formed Banaras Hindu University. Although they were rich landlords her grandfather chose to teach and sold off their estate and relocated to Banaras (present day Varanasi). Her father died young. He was on his way to the United States where he was invited to teach but died en route at New Delhi. She was brought up and educated by her mother alone. She was a meritorious student and received Chancellors medal for coming first in her class. While in her student days she became good friends with Jaipur royalty.
She was married to Major Dr. Vidya Sagar Trivedi (RAMC) who had just returned after completing his studies at Edinburgh University (Scotland). He was a scion of Trivedi Saraswats and held a Zamindari in Moradabad District of U.P.

Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”

“Some [adolescent] girls are depressed because they have lost their warm, open relationship with their parents. They have loved and been loved by people whom they now must betray to fit into peer culture. Furthermore, they are discouraged by peers from expressing sadness at the loss of family relationships—even to say they are sad is to admit weakness and dependency.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)
“...he came towards them early in the morning, walking on the sea.”
—Bible: New Testament, Mark 6:48.
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
