Finger (விரல்)

Translation of Writer Jeyamohan's Short Story - Finger(விரல் )     When Chaithanya was brought out for the first time by a plump nurse, she appeared like a supinely lying tiny baby lizard, covered with a clean cloth, instantly she haughtily protested by brandishing her clenched fists up and down. Like a fresh incipient seed taken out from shell, a gentle heat dissipated on her face. After  uncertain moments of pause, her crooked mouth slowly opened and uttered an obstinate, pertinacious and resounding cry.     The Doctor gently touched the tip of her lower lip with his index finger. The screaming was stopped at once, a sensory quivering spread throughout the body like electric current, by raising her head in a flash, she tried to clutch Doctor’s finger with toothless mouth. ”Did you see  the intensity of this tiny life??l!!” At these moments her life entirely resides at her mouth and stomach.” the doctor said radiantly.     Du...

At the brink of infinity -முடிவின்மையின் விளிம்பில்

Translation of Writer Jeyamohan's Short Story -   At the brink of infinity Incidentally, I met with Freddie in this world wide spread web. Full name Freddie Williamson, age 38, married and divorced twice, from the state of Florida, USA. He had politely denied disclosing his city. An affluent man, spending his time in Fishing, Hog farming, Literary Writing and E-chatting, had been living alone in his farm house. He was yet to compile his poem collections, and wary of publishing the anthology. But when we got acquainted, Freddie had just completed his novel work.

Freddie was not inclined to undertake that daunting effort at that moment. He asked me once, why not, could he publish the novel in the Internet? I encouraged him to proceed with that affirmative idea. If it attracts online readers, there would be a definite choice of...

Serpent- நச்சரவம்

Translation of Writer Jeyamohan's Short Story - Serpent ( நச்சரவம் ) Serpent I A kind of subtle complexity observed in History, can never be soundly debated with majority of our  historians. They presume history as a well constructed firm structure with substantial facts. These historians always tend to discuss history like their dinner party debates.  Being a theorist of History, I do not agree with them. I  imagine history like a stage backdrop screens.  We change that frequently in flash depending upon the subject at the “center of stage” of that moment.  Houses, Foothills, Sea shore, Royal court. Whenever i claim this with any historian, he scowls and flushes hotly at once. They misconceive that i accuse them as a fictitious fabricator, instead of consenting as an intellectual who formulates permanent truths. Once i wittingly cited a historian as a  fabricator who fictionalizes the truths. He loudly squalled at me till eyes glistened with tears. Le...
