I congratulate my dearest sir for his great endeavour in his writing, The Tailor’s Needle. This time when many scholars of the world are attempting to write this genre, one of them, Prof. L. R. Sharma’s attempt is noticale. It is his great effort to produce such a novel, in discussing the mileu and fragrance of Prayag(Allahabad), a mythologicl city of India. Prof. Sharma has been the experience of two cities of India, one is Mirzapur, the another is Allahabad. When ‘the Indian rooted fames’ are describing the metro cities along with the major European cities, his work has discussed the typical Allahabad city, with great variance of lattitudes and longitudes, as is my assumption.
Recently I have seen his novel in a book-exibition, in the departmental Library while holding an International Seminar in his direction. Now, a don of deptt. has given an unforgettable contribution in the field of novel-writing.
I wish him a tremendous success for The Tailor’s Needle.

My best wishes are with you.

Dear Amit,
We are made of stories as Edward Said informs us. Nations are narrations. The stories, particularly the mythical and the historical ones, influence us tremendously without our quite knowing it.
Stories and fictions are therefore of great importance and it is vitally necessry that we read the right (or appropriate) ones.

Dear Mani,
All novels have to tell some lies. The plot is artistic lies because it is not be factually true or maybe partially untrue.
My novel too will contain that kind of lies. Though I hope that it will, as Shakespeare says for the witches in Macbeth, “lie like truth”. Hope that the lies will still point to the truth.
