Here's a story

I have written 52 short stories. Really not a great number for 18 years of writing. But not much of a writing after 2002. A sort of hibernation. But some of them are good. I am proud of writing them. When I wrote another novel of mine in 2 days, I was sure it would lack quality. But it did not. It came out well. I even tried a trick used by Sidney Sheldon in Windmills of Gods. A trick which is very easy in English. But in Kannada gender is stressed upon in the verb. So, it would easily be known to reader that the person is male or female. But in English if you use came or went with a name, it won't tell whether the person is man or a woman. So it was a challenge in two ways. Not to give chance to the reader that the character of the particular character. The suspense has to be maintained till the end. The reader should keep on guessing what would happen in the end. I had the deadline of 2 days to handover the script. But all these things were done in two days. Even when I read again, I feel proud of the story which has not got tarnished either by story or by time even. I have a title of sincere writer from a great writer and editor. May be because of this, I am unable to write any trash. So, the subject is getting churned in the mind - Mana Manthana!
