Kumari Ngasepam Nalini Devi - Literature (Creative Work)
KUMARI NGASEPAM NALINI DEVI
Akademi Award: Literature (Creative Work)
Born in 1968 at Sagolband Meino Leirak, Imphal, Kumari Ngasepam Nalini Devi, popularly known as Nee Devi, is a noted Manipuri short story writer, novelist and poet whose creative pursuits have been widely appreciated and acclaimed in the literary circuit.
The creative imaginations of Nee Devi were first expressed in the form of a novel entitled Kadaidano which was published in 1987.
While this work testified her articulacy and narrative skills as a writer, her second work, Cheithengpham, also a novel, came out a year later.
Her next creative pursuit was a poetry entitled Chakngai Warisida (1995).
Apart from these, she has penned a short story collection, Shollaba Maree (2001) and edited an anthology of poems.
Her latest work, entitled Lei Mana Amatang (2009), is a collection of fifteen short stories designed with skills of superior storytelling and lucid characterisation.
Though the themes are often ordinary and subjective, reflecting a world as seen and experienced by a woman, yet they give a new approach to the trend of Manipuri short fiction.
Many of her stories have also been dramatised as Radio plays and proscenium plays.
In recognition of her noteworthy contribution to Manipuri literature and for her short story collection Lei Mana Amatang, Kumari Ngasepam Nalini Devi is honoured with Manipur State Kala Akademi Award.
