A decent collection of short stories. This is my first by Ambai. Some of the stories are beautiful while I felt some others were trying way too much. In a few stories, I found stuff crammed without having a lot of relevance to the story. In a few others, I found confusing narration like someone else spoke here. I am not exactly sure if that's supposed to be language barrier. I am not sure how it reads in the original Thamizh, but there is a big chance I lost some nuance in translation. There are descriptions of food, places, music, movies, science, and the stories touch a wide variety of themes. It was an interesting read except for a few of them. I am curious enough to pick more by the author.
