You May Be Right, I May Be Crazy and Other Stories
Sreedevi Krishnan
Collection of short stories published in various magazines in India and abroad. Here is a quick summary: The female protagonists in ?Return from the Ashes?, ?Great Escape?, ?Till Death Do Us part? reflect a wave of ?Feminism?. While ?Chasing a Shadow? is about the ego and disastrous ambition of a Naval Officer, ?Key to the Gates of Heaven? is the pathetic end of a Narcissistic vanity of a woman. ?Dreams Shattered' is an attempt to portray ?feminization of poverty? through the exploitation of an innocent, poor, pretty young girl Pushpa. ?I Want to be like Kuttappan? is an innocent boy?s deprived childhood to fulfill his ultra-modern, affluent, doctor parents' dream of making him a 'super brat'. ?Change of Heart? is about the sense of remorse in a young medical student while ?Truth of the Hereafter? deals with the only reality in anyone's life, ?death?. ?Silver Wedding Anniversary? and ?When Our Hitler Became a Hero? are autobiographical. And the last story ?Happy Deevalley, I Love You Ma? ends in an optimistic note as love crosses all barriers of country, religion color or creed and makes a success of a marriage.
