In this collection of short stories translated from original Hindi into English entitled Mother's Diary Rajee Seth is poised to open up a very startling and powerful genre of Indian writing. Her sharp insights into the human psyche and the sensitive etching of human frailty offer a sum of experience which is beyond any time space country or culture. Devoid of dexterous plots and complex craft her work is ostensibly a gentle revelation of human behaviour in quite ordinary circumstances. However her ruthless perceptions reveal a powerful and often unexpected world which lurks menacingly underneath the ordinary and the obtuse. When Rajee Seth writes she is like the tireless sculptor whose tools carve and shave until every hidden nuance can be sighted in what once was the faceless mask of routine existence. Her stories are of everyday sights and sounds in the miasma of living. She unveils the ordinary the silent the unspoken to reveal a sea of intense and complex emotions.
