![]() Impressed by the contemporary theme of the story, Kizhambur had got the story translated in Tamil by one of his panel of writers and published it without even informing me in advance. I was surprised that one of my stories titled ‘Changing society’ which I had sent to my good friend Kizhambur, the editor of Kalaimagal Magazine for his comments, got published in the June, 2014 Issue of Kalaimagal. Encouraged by the response I wrote a couple of stories more. ![]() I wrote my first piece titled ‘Marriages are made in heaven’ in 2014 and circulated the same among a very select list of family and friends. Though I have been writing essays on a variety of topics in English post the success of my autobiography published in 2009 and have also become a columnist in a local weekly, I had not written any short stories in English. I was surprised because I find that today I cannot even compose a simple letter in Tamil due to lack of practice for over 45 years. I could not believe that I had written those stories. Rummaging through some old papers I discovered a scrap book containing a few short stories I had written in Tamil during my school and college days.
