Nilal Alla Nijam / நிழல் அல்ல நிஜம்  (Tamil, Paperback, T. Valli)

These are not the stories, the shadows of the realm .... the problems of today's generation ... the social ills ... I have narrated them through stories in the life of common people we see around us every day. Every story here is based on incidents that have created an impact on me in some way or the other. If those create a leaving impact with you ... I would consider it the greatest recognition I can get. Some shades of reality you will find in the book are…. # A couple who long to split & the child who couldn't understand it ... # The Pawn 'Muthu' who gets cut in the game of political chess # Bharathi who refuses to understand life # The man who plays in a Girl's Life # The girl sparrow who caught the attention of a dangerous hawk
