This CD is brought out on the occasion of the thematic dance festival Bharatham Kathai Kathaiyaam of Natyarangam,
the dance wing of Narada Gana Sabha Trust, Chennai in August 2011.

Twelve Tamil short stories by eminent authors, spread over the last eight decades, have been chosen. The stories represent a wide choice of themes, characters and styles and reaffirm the positive values of life and the underlying nobility of the human spirit.

This is the first time that Tamil short stories are attempted in Bharathanatyam. Performed by solo and duo artists to the accompaniment of non verbal music, both vocal and instrumental, each modern short story is followed by a parallel story from the epics, puranas, legend and history, also presented in Bharathanatyam.
