A book of mini short stories in Manipuri written by B.B. Mutuwa, published by Mutum Ongbi Kunjarei Devi, Price Rs 201/-, page 91. Reviewed by: Konsam Kulladhwaja |
The book contains 103 very short stories B.B Mutuwa Manipur whereas Dr. I.S. Kangjam is in Manipur. Dr. Kongjam calls such story as Wari Piktru. Some writers call it as Apikpa Warimacha. Lagu Katha is the only name of this genre in Hindi. Nowadays people are very busy. They have no time to read verbose and voluble stories or novels. So the writers or the readers want to look at the books at a glance. It would be very convenient to bring out such books of stories or poems. New writers may pay their attention to this genre. We could get maximum enjoyment time. The writer writes on various themes. The story Rajniti reflects that politics is everywhere. When a man called Rasbihari; president of Sahitya Mahasabha expressed his view, 'Even in a cup of tea, there is polities', another man who was a literature objected the opinion saying that it would not be possible on the ground of littérateur. There would not be any place of politics in this field, continued the littérateur. At the moment a member of the literary association proposed him to elect the man as the president for the next term. Then the littérateur remains silent. There's something behind this consequence. In a mini short story called Chithi the writer could depict the attitudes of bad students towards the examiners at the time of examination.
