The author, Dr. Nirmala Kasinathan is herself representative of the younger
generation of the Jaffna Tamilian diaspora and has family and friends both in Malaysia and abroad. With the exception of her escapades traveling and globe trotting, she has spent most of her years in Ipoh. She is currently a practicing medical doctor at Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, Ipoh.
She was inspired to write short stories to reach a wider readership of working adults, school and college students with busy schedules themselves. These 18 short stories were written over a period exceeding 3 years.
