"These Micro-Stories provide microcosms of Indian society. The stories areextremely illuminating, thought-provoking, and intelligent, and they trulydepict societal realities. In epigrammatical style, an idea, thought, or sentimentis presented with accuracy and cohesiveness. These are little tablets containingdoses of the pithy pointed and incisive sayings. These micros raise awareness andbring about realization, as well as elicit, arouse, and trigger consciousness. Therealization occurs on a social, psychological, or moral level. This understandingdevelops in the minds of the protagonists, as well as in the readers, and becomesa turning point in their very existence.The anecdotes and episodes give empathetic and incisive satire on the social,personal, and family lives of the characters, who are frequently caught up insome type of upheaval or fall prey to the system. There are ironic twists andturns, and it is generally at the conclusion that some type of truth or realizationdawns on them.These stories raise awareness about the loss of ethical and moral valuesin society, as well as a sense of responsibility, the absence of which has adetrimental effect on the quality of life as a human being. These micros upholdthe dignity of human beings while also evoking their situation and existence.These micro-stories have captivated me greatly because of the message theyrepresent, the ideals they instill, the emotions they elicit, the truth that theyexpose, the morals that they uphold, and the ethics and values that they foster."
