"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”
Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh PalNair ─ Told & Untold is a collection of short stories that elevate the mundane happenings in everyday life.
The protagonist, Mr. Nair, a typical Malayalee, takes on many avatars, some applaudable and others cringe-worthy. But in all these stories, he gains the reader’s sympathy as he tries to navigate the nooks and crannies of life’s journey. The author has a keen understanding of human nature. In simple prose, he captures snapshots of life which include an observant Mr. Nair who witnesses catastrophe unfold at the village tea shop, a frustrated Mr. Nair who gives driving lessons to an impossible student, a possessive Mr. Nair who tries to protect his wife from the vulgar attentions of uncivilised men using public transport, an arrogant Mr. Nair who underestimates the shrewdness of his co-passenger and a submissive Mr. Nair who does his best to please his dog-fearing wife by promising to get rid of the stray dog menace in their colony.
A perfect blend between satire and farce, this collection will endear you to its likeable characters. Above all, the stories will leave you chuckling no matter how serious you are.
