மத்யமர்

by Sujatha

இங்கேயும் இல்லாமல் , அங்கேயும் செல்ல முடியாமல் ஒரு வர்க்கமே இருக்கிறது. இவர்கள் ஏறக்குறைய நல்லவர்கள் ; பெரும்பாலும் கோழைகள். பணக்கார செளகர்யங்களுக்கு தொட்டும் தொடாத அருகாமையில் இருப்பவர்கள். பக்தி , காதல் , பரிவு , பாசம் , தியாகம் , நேர்மை போன்ற குணங்களை தேவைக்கும் அவசரத்துக்கும் ஏற்ப சற்று மாற்றி கொள்பவர்கள். இந்த மௌனப் பெரும்பான்மையினருக்கு ஒரு பெயர் உண்டு மத்யமர் - சுஜாதா

மத்திய தர மக்களின் ஆசைகள், குழப்பங்கள் எல்லாவற்றையும் சிறுகதைகள் மூலம் சொல்ல ஒரு முயற்சி. பிரமாதம் என்று சொல்வதற்கில்லை, ஆனால் நல்ல முயற்சி. கல்கியில் தொடராக வந்தது.

மிகவும் சிறந்த கதைகள். ஒவ்வொரு கதைகளிலும் சோகம்,ஆச்சரியம், சந்தோசம்,ஊக்கம் என மாறி மாறி வருகிறது.இன்னும் எத்தனை வருடம் களித்து இந்த நூலை படித்தாலும் நம் வாழ்க்கைக்கு ஒத்துப் போகும்.

When it comes to short stories it is always sujatha who could give something different every time. Though there is a marked template and you would expect the same, always he could bring in that smile or twist which captivates us about the story. There is no let down here too in each story.

Already short story is his cup of tea, if it is on middle class people then it turns into his forte. Stories which happen day to day is given in sujatha's style, even if it is imaginary it feels so real. Though the stories represent particular section of people only, it is understandable owing to the platform on which the story was initially presented and the reader base of the platform.

Must read for sujatha's fans and short story lovers. For others it is a very nice read, for sure will make you understand the middle class thought process and will be a different experience for the reader. Go for it.
