The hope that the Sun will rise again fills the heavens as it sets. But when its light, like a lamp, goes out, a pitch-black darkness falls and envelops everyone. Night and day become one black period. The Sun isn’t missing anymore; in fact, in this dark region, this sphere of light does not exist at all and never did.

Many of the characters still make occasional appearances, in a sense. After the work was finished,…

This is the first collection of short stories I have translated that will be published. The fact that the author of these stories himself has such faith in me makes me feel fortunate. Prof. Chandrasekhar Rath went through the manuscript and provided helpful suggestions. He occasionally lost his cool when I veered off topic a little from the text. At times, he tripped over himself to praise me. The author and the translator had a love-hate relationship the entire time the project was in development. J frequently threw up my hands in desperation and considered abandoning the entire thing. Everytime.…

As said by Faturananda “The first stories I wrote were tragic in nature. After “Dagaro” from Cuttack was published, I began to notice the amusing and comical stories that were included in it. These plots were essentially the same. Using a romance between two college students as an example. They both decide to get married, but there is a problem before the wedding.
