Reseña del libro "Mrudgandh (en Maratí)"
AN AUTHOR HAS FREELY EXPRESSED HIS FEELINGS FOR INDIRA SANT IN THE FOLLOWING WORDS. I MYSELF HAVE HANDLED CREATIVE WRITING IN MY TOKONOMA , HEERVI MANE , AND CHIVARICHI PHULE ; I AM PROUD OF MY WORK. YET, I TRULY FEEL THAT I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO WRITE LIKE YOU. YOUR WRITING HAS ITS OWN STYLE. IN OUR CHILDHOOD DAYS, WE WERE GREETED WITH JAGGERY AND WATER WHEREVER WE MAY GO IN KONKAN. THE MERE SIGHT OF THE GLASS FULL OF WATER AND THE PIECES OF JAGGERY WERE ENOUGH TO TAKE AWAY ALL MY TIREDNESS. TOGETHER, THESE THINGS REVEALED AFFECTION AND THE CULTURAL SIMPLICITY. YOUR ARTICLES RESEMBLE THAT COMBINATION, BRINGING THE AFFECTION BACK. FOR EXAMPLE, LET US DISCUSS YOUR ARTICLE LALA GOJIRA PAKHRANCHA . HARDLY ANY MALE OR FEMALE WRITER WILL COME UP WITH THE IDEA OF INTRODUCING THE BIRDS WHILE ON THE LAP OF THE MOTHER. ONCE STARTED IN THIS MANNER, THE STORY CONTINUES FURTHER WITH REFERENCES OF MANY BIRDS BRINGING BACK THE MEMORIES OF MANY TENDER MOMENTS OF YOUR LIFE; RIGHT FROM THE SMALL BOWLS OF WATER FOR THE SPARROWS TO THE BIRDS CROWDING ON THE ELECTRICITY WIRES OVER HEAD. WITHOUT ANY INTENTION, THE TIME RUNS OUT, REVEALING THE SECRETS OF TENDER AGES, MOMENTS OF HAPPINESS IN THE COMPANY OF THE BIRDS, TOTALLY UNAWARE OF IT, JUST LIKE THE BIRDS WHO ARE UNAWARE OF THEIR FLYING. THIS UNAWARENESS MAKES THEIR FLYING SO ADORABLE. BUT WHEN A SPARROW IS STUCK IN A ROOM AND WHEN SHE TRIES TO COME OUT OF THE ROOM, TO FIND OUT A WAY FROM THE ROOM, THEN HER FLYING LOSES ITS GRACE. I FIND YOUR ARTICLES RESEMBLING THE INBORN BEAUTIFUL AND GRACEFUL FLYING OF THE BIRDS... ''....मीही ललित लेखन खूप केले आहे. 'तोकोनामा', 'हिरवी उने', 'चिवारीची फुले' या पुस्तकांचा मला अभिमानही आहे. पण 'असे लिहिता आले नसते' हे खरेच आहे. तुमच्या या लेखांना एक प्रकृती आहे. आमच्या लहानपणी कोकणात गूळपाण्याने स्वागत व्हायचे, पण त्यातला आपलेपणा, गोडवा आणि सांस्कृतिक सहजता फार भावायची. त्या गूळपाण्याच्या गडव्याच्या नुसत्या दर्शनाने सात-आठ मैल चालून आल्याचे श्रम पार पळून जायचे. तसे काहीतरी तुमच्या या लेखांत आहे. तुमचा ताजा 'लळा गोजिरा पाखरांचा' हा लेखच, उदाहरणार्थ, पाहू या. पाखरांची ओळख आईच्या मांडीवर ('इथं इथं बैस, रे, मोरा') अशी सुरुवात करण्याची कल्पना आम्हां पुरुष लेखकांना नाही सुचणार, पण किती लेखिकांना तरी सुचेल? अशी सुरुवात झालेला लेख या अंगानेच पुढे जातो. 'येरे येरे काऊ' .... तुळशी कट्ट्यापासची दगडी खल, 'विजेच्या तारांच्या तोरणमाळा'.... हा लेख नुसताच पाखरांना
