Venkat: The short stories I could appreciate
and remember now are
"Rathnaabaayin aangilam" and
"pakkaththil vantha appaa"
the second one is such a delightful story froma child's point of view.
The description about the special treatment to a periyappa is great. And the child's view point tells us so much about us adults.

I've that book with me so let me (for once) give a
100% accurate quote. A poetic observation:

... «õÁ¡ ÅóÐ Å¡ºø ¾¢ñ¨½¨Âô À¡÷ì¸ *Õó¾ ƒýÉÄ¢ý À¢ýÉ¡ø ¿¢ýÈÀÊ ¦¾¡ñ¨¼¨Âì ¸¨Éò¾¡û.
«Ð¾¡ý «ÅÙ¨¼Â Š¾¡Éõ. «Åû ÅóÐÅ¢ð¼¡û ±ýÀ¾üÌ «ó¾ì ¸¨ÉôÒ. *É¢§Áø «ôÀ¡ ¦¾Õ¨ÅÔõ ¦ºÊ ¦¸¡Ê¸¨ÇÔõ, ¦¾ý¨É ÁÃí¸¨ÇÔõ À¡÷òÐô ÀÄ §¸ûÅ¢¸¨Çì §¸ð¸, «ôÀ¡Å¢ý À¢ý Áñ¨¼¨Âô À¡÷ò¾ ÀÊ «õÁ¡ À¾¢ø ¦º¡øÅ¡û.

(Incidentally, when I recommennded that short story to people who haven't read anything besides anandha vikatan, they told me they liked it very much.)
