chuninda laghukathaen / चुनिंदा लघुकथाएं  (Hindi, Paperback, Shared Compilation)

The short story has its own distinct mood. It is not as detailed as the story. A novel is a bigger thing than this. This is a way to express a particular moment. Which, due to its sharpness, has the ability to produce a twinge in the reader's mind. Just as a person has his / her own choice, the short story writers have their own choice. A non-vegetarian person feels pleasure in eating the meat of an innocent animal. At the same time, eating pulses to the same person feels like eating any garbage. In the same way a vegetarian person can have his own choice. For that, meat is a useless thing. Similarly, lentils are the best diet or vegetable. Likewise, every reviewer has his own criteria for measuring short stories. I have realized from experience that I have my own camp in the short story. One camp loves the punch line in the short story, while the other group passes it exasperatingly. One camp considers the presence of the writer as prohibited, while the other camp does not insist on this much. He believes that the short story should leave its impact, that is enough.
