What does one say about this collection of short stories? Well, it’s filled with the feeling of a quiet December morning, held with a warm cup of coffee around the corner. It is filled with people you meet as you walk along the dusty mud roads and the conversations you have with them and yourself.
These stories remind one of the different shades of strength; be it “vasanthi” or Rosakutty from “freedom”. They point out how there are endless shades of grey between the right and the wrong; from the Vicar in “the priest” or the group of friends from “maruthan”. They show how life can take unexpected turns, drawing strangers closer, be it in a brief encounter or in the simple act of giving water. The book takes you across the fields of love lost and found, both profound and all-encompassing. It takes you along the journeys that one takes on the path of self-healing, and draws you to look up at the skies occasionally, feeling that things can and will get better.

Lakshmy Das
Lakshmy Das spends most of her time contemplating on life and the lives around her, be it metaphysics, a roadside tea vendor or the flutter of a dragonfly’s wings. Her childhood in Kumily and the journeys she has made, instilled in her the critical perspective of a keen environmentalist and the curiosity of a child. She can best be described as an old soul who enjoys the simple things in life. A teacher and a storyteller rolled into one, her stories reflect an uncommon clarity and vision.
Lakshmy currently resides in Kumily with her parents.
