Narendra Kohli ki Lokpriya Kahaniyan

It is the reader who makes a story popular. A work that is not read by readers is not popular. But this does not mean that readers will make a work that the writer does not like. In fact, stories become popular due to the interest of both the writer and the reader. I wrote stories in the 1960s and 1970s. Until then, the novels had not been written, which, by their popularity, have suppressed the discussion of stories. After that, novels took over stories. I still sit down to write a story, and I do write it, but stories are not at the center of my writing. Still, I can say that stories like Parinati, Namak Ka Qaidi, Sancit Bhookh, Kirche, Neechle Flat Mein, and Neend Aane Tak have neither been forgotten by me nor have they been neglected by readers. They are still discussed occasionally. That was my teenage years. They contained a sense of responsibility to society and the attraction of love. They include my brothers and sisters and my friends. It was a turning point in my life, one that I cannot forget. As a result, even today, half a century later, those stories remain dear to me. Narendra Kohli
