The Wedding Plans and Other Short Stories

Beschreibung

'The Wedding Plans and Other Short Stories' is a curious and poignant collection of 12 short stories inspired by the vibrant younger generations of the Jaffna Tamil diaspora. The history, culture, traditions, religious beliefs and practices, as well as food of the Jaffna Tamilian diaspora are brought to life in the plots and characters. The assimilation of their people into the local societies at their new found lands are evident. These compelling stories are written in a myriad of practical real life themes ranging from love and marriage, to family, career, adventure, health, younger children and even pets. Everyday life, in the fast lane is brought to life by interesting characters, humour and reflections as seen through a diaspora Jaffna Tamilian looking glass.

Autor

Dr. Nirmala Kasinathan is part of the younger generation of the Jaffna Tamilian diaspora and has family and friends both in Malaysia and abroad. With the exception of her escapades traveling and globe trotting, she has spent most of her years in Ipoh. She is currently a practicing medical doctor at Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, Ipoh. She started writing articles for school and college magazines while studying at Tarcisian Convent and later at Melaka Manipal Medical College. She has been writing fiction of varied genres. Her debut novel 'Woven in Deception', a historical fiction was published by SBPRA, USA in 2013. Beyond Deception, a sequel to Woven in Deception and a science fiction is her second novel to date and was published by Kindle Direct Publishing, USA, in 2018. She was inspired to write short stories as it fit in better with her part time writing schedule. She also hopes that short stories would reach a wider readership of working adults, or school and college students with busy schedules themselves.
