STROBILANTHES

STROBILANTHES 

DR. PP VENUGOPAL

The most striking story in ‘Strobilanthes’ revolves around a girl of extraordinary beauty, likened to the blue flower ‘neelakurinji’ who excels in both academics and extracurricular activities but becomes a victim of professional injustices. All the stories in this collection are set against the backdrop of the medical profession. It is no mere coincidence that the storyteller is a doctor. Dr. P.P. Venugopal, deeply engaged in various social issues and active in numerous fields, finds the hospital environment to be a fertile ground for storytelling. The writer does not merely seek out stories; rather, the pain, grief, and suffering that emerge from the depths of his heart naturally take shape as narratives. Each story is crafted not only for enjoyment but to challenge the reader’s mental boundaries.
