As the weekend approaches, it is time to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a few moments of peace and relaxation. For those of us who are looking for something a little more interesting than the usual weekend activities, I have a story for you that is sure to captivate readers of all ages.

This week I came across Suchita’s story that takes place in a typical crowded street of rural India. It tells the tale of a young boy who has a chance encounter with an old woman. Through their conversation, the we learn valuable life lessons that will stay with us forever.

I was so moved by this story that I wanted to share it with the world, so I reached out to the author and asked for permission to translate it and share it with a larger audience. Thankfully, Sahana was kind enough to help me out and publish the story.

So this Saturday, I invite you to take a break and read Suchita’s story. I promise it will be time well-spent. Enjoy!

English: ‘The old woman’s good fortune‘

Tamil: சூலித்தெருவில் ஒரு சிறுவன்

Happy Saturday everyone!

I recently came across a story that really resonated with me and that I think speaks to so many contemporary family issues. It tells the story of a woman in an arranged marriage, trapped in an unhappy relationship and desperately longing for love and appreciation. But then, she finds solace in art and eventually meets a man with whom she falls in love. He shows her the love and appreciation she had been missing in her life.

This beautiful story was written by Rashi Roy and was originally published on WomensWeb. I liked the story, I decided to translate it into Tamil and publish it in Sahana Magazine. If you’re interested in reading this amazing story, you can click the links below to access the three parts: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. I’m sure you will be equally touched by this story, just like I was.

Happy Monday everyone! Today I wanted to share with you an incredible story I recently read by Tomichan Matheikal. The story is about two friends, who are ‘young seniors’, and their emotional reunion after a long time apart. The story is steeped in nostalgia, something I’ve been reading about since I was a schoolboy in short trousers, yet I never tire of it.

I was so moved by the story that I asked the author for permission to include it in my translation portfolio. I’m incredibly grateful to him for granting me the permission and to Sahana Magazine and Story Mirror for publishing it. If you haven’t read it yet, I recommend it – it’s truly mesmerising.
