The Coconut-Cutter, a symbolic story, where a married woman falls in love and her emotions and decisions are symbolically linked to the Coconut tree in her yard. It is truly thought-provoking.

It is the story's essential difference that makes Ananda's Dream stand out as an idyllic love story, exploring the tender nuances and varying shades of romantic love. My Mother's letter deals with the shadow world of a woman alcoholic and a tenuous mother-daughter relationship. Unusual and heart-warming, Blind Faith talks about the deep welters of courage and strength in a human heart.
