Jatadharan and Other Stories
Jatadharan and Other Stories K. S. Venkataramani first published in 1937. THESE are sketches rather than short stories, more like wild creepers on jungle growth. Kind reader, search not for fragrant flowers among these leaf-buds. Some of these stories were written as early as 1915 and 1925. How many years of honest vintage! It may be that I have in my juvenile enthusiasm for storage cellared not the grape juice of life but mere aqua-tap water, at that. In any event, kind reader, taste it in a generous mood before declaring your verdict.
Kandan The Patriot
Kandan, the Patriot is an English novel written by K. S. Venkataramani in 1931. AKKUR is a beauty spot on the short branch line from Mayavaram to Tranquebar, the Queen of the Coromandel coast. There was a stillness in the evening air, though the sea lay to the east barely three miles off. The breeze had not yet set in. It seemed to loiter round the trembling crest of the waves, kissing the water-line and scattering the foam that embroidered the endless shores of the sea.

Paper Boats
Paper Boats by K. S. Venkataramani THREE of these Essays were origin¬ally published in East and West in more or less the present form. "The Indian Beggar" appeared in Sep¬tember, 1913, "On Fishermen" in Feb¬ruary, 1913, "The Hindu Temple" in February, 1914. I sent a reprint of "The Hindu Temple" to Mr. A. C. Benson, who promptly replied to me as follows, on March 2nd, 1914: "I have received your paper on the Hindu Temple and have read it with very real and lively interest. It throws a perfectly new light upon the whole question, and I am very grateful to you for bringing it before me in so picturesque and impressive a form. I cannot help feeling that a number of similar sketches on Indian Life and Customs would be of great service to us here in England." This generous letter awakened in me the dream of authorship. I have been moved ever since with the joy. The Great War broke out in August, 1914, and Mr. A. C. Benson again, in one of his letters, dated April 11th, 1918, advised me to "defer publication until affairs are more settled". This delayed the launching of ray PAPER Boats till the present day.
