Reviews

[Kay Sivam]

This is one of the best short stories i have ever read. Impacting. Intense. Insightful. The entire story is a conversation between a reporter/writer and a commercial sex worker. The simplest of questions will be asked and we, as readers will probably be shocked to know certain facts.

Sujatha's writing and questions are a beauty. I am an avid follower of sujatha sir.

[Vinoth Srinivasan]

Being good in a good environment is not great...Being good in a worst environment is great...

[Karthick]

An interview between a reporter and sex worker.
Interesting and the climax dialogue by Rani is stunning.

[Nachiappan Elango]

A short interview in words. Rani's understanding about her life and others in comparison is deep. I have seen this situation in a few movies.

[Ravi Narayanan]

This is a short story - I liked it for its language and for describing the difficulty of what is right.
