“Susheli Ra Sushkera” (Whistle and sigh) is the latest collection of short stories
written by Gahar Singh Subba “Udashi” also a Bhanu Puruskar Awardee, 2002. His
writing has a philosophical outlook and his usage of typical Gorkha words and
nuances makes his work applauded and well read in the bookshelf of Gorkha
literature.
The
collection contains a total of 33 short stories which are very much realistic
in approach. The stories have been woven with stylistic characteristics like
stream of consciousness, metaphor, allegory, de construction and many more.
While existentialism, Modernity, psyche, Diaspora etc are made the theme in the
various stories.
All
the short stories are presented in various ways which undoubtedly gives an
abundant insight of the writer in his understanding of the society. One of the story
namely “Antarwarta” (Discussion) is stitched to a quote: “Man
is born free but everywhere he is tied in chains” and has the leader
(politician) of the people as a protagonist of the story. Likewise, some the
other stories in the collection are “Rapture” which portrays the
countryside life in search of the past memoirs finally realizing the memoirs to
have sheltered in rapture. Aaj ko Shree Krishna ra Sudhama (Today’s
Shree Krishna and Sudhama) is another short story which is just opposite
to the Old story of Shree Krishna and Sudhama, trying its best to showcase the
present reality of the society. Gaon ghar ma aajkal (These days in home and
in Village) is yet another brilliant short story which is written with
utmost craftsmanship and apt. It states the dwelling of life in materialism, it
has a theme which is universal in approach namely diminishment of brotherhood,
moral and ethical values.
These
were the synopsis of the three short stories out of the thirty three other
Goosebumps. Gahar Singh Subba “Udashi” is well known for his usage of classic
words which can be observed only after you take a look of this collection of
minute short stories.
