Simutta Aasman invokes concerns about corrosive human values. As the times are changing fast, century-old moral values and sentiments are at an all-time low. These short stories highlight the downfall in human relations in what was once a civilised society.
Even though man has succeeded in gaining multiple comforts, there is a void when it comes to mental peace. The stories focus on the sea of change in the gio-political and social climate and the resulting casualty of human relations. The short stories express concern over sickening emotions that trigger diabolic attitudes and demeanors. Highlighted in these stories are the decadence of piety, amiability and fraternity.
