Synopsis

Short stories in this book present before us some of the grim and bare realities of the world in which we live with a touch of humour or pathos.The author offers simple sketches of extremely complex states of the human mind which would make the readers feel them acutely. 

“Each story makes the reader feel that they are watching a movie; however the reader is invariably taken beyond a mere square-shaped frame into a three-dimensional world of many particular life-circumstances. There can be no doubt that the collection offers a whole feast of varied and distinct flavours. If some of the moments that the author presents in these stories remain etched in your mind for a long while, that is no surprise.”
-Jayaraj
(Renowned movie director, scriptwriter, and the winner of many national and international prizes as a film maker)

“Being a murmur to the self, each of these stories brims with tender reflectiveness laced with gentle humour. Even though the narrator subjects themselves to severe self-criticism and guilt in many of these stories, there is also an element of self-care, the need to be kind to oneself, the need to be aware of the severe limitations under which an individual can act in a ruthless and cruel world of restrictions and violence.  The translator’s challenge has been to carry these qualities, so crucial to the examination of the self that these stories represent, into the English.”
-J Devika
