I should say something at its very outset of writing a few words on a collection of stories.In fact,I have been aware of the publication since its inception online and tempted many a time to have it by going through the link provided in the blog of its writer, Tomichan Matheikal Sir.But remained unsuccessful due to technical reasons,this time thanks to Amazan people to rush the same pin pointed.There was one particular reason for it that you must be acquainted that Tomichan ji was an exceptional blogger with his stirring and thought provoking ideas.Be it philosophy of East or West,Current trends,History or any topic,he writes so prolific, that too, with great honesty.His tone is perfectly non biased.To any culture,any ethics or any region.That's why I like to await his next post always.His story collection title as cited above reflects all these qualities.
I do not know whether I am a qualified one to judge his stories in the first place.But expressing my views.That's it.I would rather say all these pieces are intellectual discourses.In Ahalya,he touches mythology of India,yet not in usual view.Viewed it as a gender ethics issue.In Coma,the difference between two human worlds displayed,as what really fatal to a conscious living one.Taj Mahal and its real background unfurled before the reader.Especially the barbaric relations of The Mughals revealed in a prudent way.And unfortunately they had all been considered as great patrons of erstwhile architecture.
I am very contented by flipping the last page of this book. And one more thing, the diction or plot weaving
I'm touched Murthy ji by your review.
