Introduction

It has been proven time and time again that

those who have a reading habit often show

signs of advanced Intelligence levels. With an

abundant amount of genres, books open the

mind to use new words and embark upon a

whole new world of word usage.

The importance of having a reading habit is

because reading is good for you. Reading a

good book is the perfect way to reduce

stress and have a quiet, peaceful time without

leaving the comfort of your home

Reading exposes you to a world of

imagination, showing you nothing is impossible

in this world. By reading, you are exploring a

different angle to see a thing you‘ve known, on

how different action leads to different results.

Books are beyond imagination. It‘s like a huge

spider web, where you keep linking to more and

more to things you knew, and things you just

learn, structuring new solutions and answers.


vii

Over the years, the reading habit is slowly

dying and This causes a serious lack of

motivation for the young people to write. Short

stories are the life line of a language. As an

initiative to revive the reading and writing habit,

I have compiled a total of 15 short stories in

Both Tamil and English from young and

prolific writers in this book. Each of the stories

have been from brilliant authors who put their

ideas from different genres to make this book

possible.

Short stories are ―the rap of literature‖.

There is a lot to short stories than it appears.

Short stories with their right-to-the-point plot

and concise form are a convenient way to learn

about the style and characteristics of the literary

work you are about to discover. You can read

one short story and make one short and

intensive step aside. Or you can read a short

story collection and dive into unexplored lands

for just a bit longer.

Anyone can write a short story with their

experience and can highlight the problems we

face today in just three pages. The beauty of it

is the readers will be able to relate it to their

daily life and connect easily with the story.


viii

Sujatha‘s short stories have played a mightier

role in influencing the young generations of

1990s and 2000s

S.Ramakrishnan was once asked, ―What is

the key to write the best short story ever?‖, by a

reporter to which he replied, ―Just write a story

about the experiences of a poor old man

wanting to get a treatment at the Government

hospital, That would do‖. It is as simple as that.

Take a look around. Having a minute of

spare time, people take out their smartphones

and check out their Facebook, Twitter, and

Instagram. It‘s an example of a highly effective

use of time. Why not give books a try? And it

doesn‘t mean you have to keep the book in your

purse or backpack. You can download a free

book reading app and place its icon next to

Facebook‘s.

Now, it‘s all about what you expect. When

you open Facebook, scrolling through a couple

of latest status messages makes it already a

finished activity, no matter when you decide to

stop.

When you open a book or a reading app,

you imagine the time you spend reading – five


ix

minutes or half an hour – is a tiny little percent

of what is left. Short stories are suitable to be

read in short chunks. A single chunk may be a

substantial part of the entire story. Reading one

story might take less time than going back

home from work on a metro bus.

You can‘t write extraordinary short stories

without reading extraordinary shory short

stories. These authors may not be Shakespheres

or Pudhumai pithans yet. But those legends

once started at the same place these people are

now. So With your support, They can turn into

one. So it is our social responsibility to revive

this dying art and keep the legacy going.

Thanks to the readers for your support.

Further volumes of the book are yet follow. I

am looking forward to your support to keep this

momentum alive.

Anbudan,
