The stories in this collection have emerged as an outcome of my life experience as a student, then working in the labour and management field; as a lawyer, Professor of law and now working as a Member (Judicial) in a high power Tribunal. The stories are all fictitious and do not have any resemblance to any living or dead character. My observations of life and my own experiences have given rise to fictitious stories. If I have captured some of the vicissitudes of life in my stories, and if I am in a position to convey the same to my readers, then it would bring me great satisfaction. It is said that mental makeup of a writer and his background influences his writing. There are no two opinions about this view expressed by some critics. We are influenced in our writing by our upbringing, the environment we live in, our education, besides our own experiences in life. We gather all of them together to create fiction. There is no underlining message in my stories but I have tried to project only certain aspects of life which I have noted. — S. L. Peeran
Foreword by Dr. M. Thirumeni
Peeran’s stories are mirrors that reflect his faith in sufism, his loyalty to his own religion and his love of humanity. Peeran is a highly secular and cultured man but his secularism and culture are rooted in the basic teachings of Prophet and tenets of Islam. His characters reveal all aspect of humanity, but ultimately they strive towards divinity. If Peeran had lived in the days of Moguls, he would have been placed in the court of Akbar for his versatility. His religious vision does not exclude other communities, but include them and his stories stand for control of senses, life of purity, elevation of soul and faith in God.
foreward Dr. M. Thirumeni
Such a holy spirit never dwells among the Islamic writers of India either in the past or in the present.
His ‘Glass House’ is a mirror that reflects a variety of characters. He is able to see a mini India in his school and college. He is highly conscious of sense of brotherhood that prevailed in the campus among Students of various states and communities. Apart from his moral values, Peeran stands for a harmonious India where Hindus, Muslims and other minorities live in peace and joy. He describes all Indian festivals, holy places and national functions with minute details and patriotic fervor. Moreover, he is a social critic
that points out the false nature, god men and spiritual masters.
