The Vendor of Sweets is the story of a merchant, Jagan, who at the age of 60 still feels young at heart and makes good profit out of his sweet shop. Jagan is depicted as the vendor of sweets in this story. Some waves come to his life when his son, Mali, returns from America with his Korean wife. Jagan tries to cope up with the situation even with his conventional thoughts but finally fails to do so because of his son’s nature. The story thus well justified the title as it’s lucid language and description of the life of Jagan clearly entails the story.
