Sirukathaigal, also known as short stories in Tamil literature, are brief narratives that explore the experiences of common people and the challenges they face in everyday life.
These stories are often based on real-life events and some imaginations, with a fast-paced plot, tension that develops in the middle, and unexpected twists and turns that make the readers feel a part of the story.

Jeyamohan, who has written several well-known novels, including “Rubber,” “Pin Thodarum Nizhalin Kural,” “Kanyakumari,” “Kaadu,” “Pani Manidhan,” “Eazhaam Ulagam,” and “Kotravai”.
