On April 27, Kottur-based author Saroja Sahadevan launched her latest Tamil short story collection ‘Koluse… Koluse…’ at the ‘Ezhuththukku Mariyadhai – NRK Awards and Book Launch Ceremony’ organised by the Uraththachinthanai Literary Forum.
A prolific Tamil writer, Saroja has contributed to Dinamani, Dinamalar, various business and small literary magazines, and has authored six books. She is also a dedicated social worker, known for her service to the differently-abled and has received multiple awards for both her writing and social work.
‘Koluse… Koluse…’ is a compilation of stories drawn from her real-life observations, societal experiences, and cultural beliefs. “For over two decades, I have volunteered with visually impaired and differently-abled individuals. These stories reflect their life struggles. Some are also inspired by my deep patriotism and respect for military personnel,” she shared. “If even a mustard seed of social awareness is stirred in a reader, that is this book’s success.”
She also highlighted her earlier work, ‘India–Pakistan War and Its Aftermath’ (2023), a well-received book that details all conflicts between the two nations with gripping clarity.‘Koluse… Koluse…’ is priced at Rs.300. To purchase, WhatsApp 74185 55884 or visit www.pustaka.co.in.
