    1. You can get the six short stories which have been compiled into a book as well as 'The Clay Marble'. They are available at Popular bookstores and Mehraj Book Distributors.
      Do contact me if you have any problems getting them. If I'm not mistaken, these books are available under the school textbook loan scheme.
