Interesting and gripping read. Lucid language used is very user friendly. Contemporary background makes it relatable. In stories like 'Salma's Silence' there is an element of sadness but narration keeps the participative curiosity of the reader high, so as I read it i was cooking my own versions as the child was himself exploring facts. Loved that. Keep up the effort Asha Iyer Kumar.
