\nShort stories have the freedom to reach beyond the word limits\n\nI began playing around with a particular character in a novel� was writing, and she claimed a story of her own. ‘Marital Chains’ comes from a far more personal space though, recently, some of my very close friends had had abusive relationships and that sort of thing made we wish to protest. Now, I neither have strong arms, nor do I have huge weapons to brandish, so I did what I could, I wrote.\n\n
\nShort stories have the freedom to reach beyond the word limits and creep into your mind. I remember growing up and falling in love with O.Henry and how he used the medium. The mundane suddenly become fantastical.\n\n

\n’The Glass Palace’ by Amitav Ghosh – I remember being intoxicated by the entire diaspora of characters and I just wanted to write more.\n\nPeople who have inspired me\n\nMostly I owe this love for writing to two teachers, Ms Santa Sarkar – who taught us English and Mr. Tapan Karmakar – who taught us drawing. In an age when I was falling into depression, they made me write and do art, and while, I am the one writing, I feel they would always be a part of my stories.\n\nAbout the author:\n\nUttiya is a person who reads a little too many books in a reader�s nook in the City of Joy. He writes literature with the naive dreams of changing a bit of the world, and aspires to research so as to help humanity to progress more.\n\nHe also writes wonderfully in this blog.\n
