          Kali Prasad Ghildiyal selects subject for his stories from the society. In Syani’ (Hilans, May-June 1989) story, he takes the subject of conflicting situations between desires of a mother from her son and the ambitions of the son. When Kirti Singh was in the womb his father expires. His mother Saka takes every care for his development and for his studies. After passing B.A, Kirti Singh goes to Delhi and gets good job. Saka dreams that her son marries the daughter of Thokdar ji of their area. However, Kirti Singh is very ambitious. The difference between the dreams of Saka and ambition of Kirti Singh takes the death toll.

  The story telling style of Kali Prasad is as usual simple narration. The dialogues and phrases create desired images for the story. The twist and conflicting situations are from the real life.
