निर्मनुष्य [Nirmanushya]


Ratnakar Matkari - 2005
    The universe of an imaginative mind stands on the foundation of facts. This is based on the psychology of a scary mind. The main stream of his stories is always the uncanny fear, the eagerness to find the truth, pity for all the living things, and the insistence for justice with a touch of politics. These inscrutable stories do not intend to scare anyone, on the contrary they are just a way to look at life, to reveal the truth of life

Mazya Bapachi Pend (Marathi)


D.M. Mirasdar - 1957
    Grief, longing, being away from near and dear…….. Colours not seen before, each story has a unique shade. Each reveals different pain. The story of the king titled perfectly as to Once Upon A Time…….. is the best example of this. The comedian in the Courts of the king helps him to win the heart of the most wise and beautiful damsel in the town. He uses all his wit so as to bring the beautiful maiden in the king’s palace. At the end, when he realizes that it is the wittiness that the lady was fallen for and not name or fame of the king, he pities himself. It could have been he himself who could have become the partner of the lady. She was not impressed with the king’s wealth neither craved for bravery. What she wished was a mind equivalent to her talents………. Alas……….

हिंदू (हिंदू, #1 )


Bhalchandra Nemade - 2010
    Founded centuries ago, this Hindu civilization struck deep roots and over time spread through the Indian subcontinent affecting every facet of life. This civilization has been anything but static. It has adapted itself to the changing needs of different social structures and has been enriched by the ceaseless flow of ideas. Although the basic ideological structure has remained constant, the ability to assimilate every new wave of thought has created an incredibly rich cultural texture impacting everything from social traditions to interpersonal relations. The omnipresent impact of this plural civilization with its strengths and weaknesses constantly enriches our lives. It is this enriching struggle that forms the canvas of `Hindu`. This novel captures the vastness and plurality of life much in the manner of an epic. A deeply satisfying read, the book, the first of a quartet leaves you thirsting for more.. The author of `Kosla`, `Bidar`, `Hool`, `Zharila` and ‘Zool’once again uses the form of the novel to great effect, inviting the reader to re-examine many aspects of life.

The Silver Castle


Clive James - 1996
               Told with Clive James's trademark dry wit, The      Silver Castle is a tragicomic morality tale for our time. Part Candide, part Oliver Twist, part Huckleberry Finn, The Silver Castle defies its reader to remain aloof from the suffering of the world's swarming poor while it inspires laughter over the human condition generally. It is a novel of wonder despite its unrelenting realism--      indeed, only wonderment is possible in the face of Sanjay's knack for survival and more than occasional good fortune.           In his astonishing odyssey from the gutter to the soundstages and salons of Bollywood, Sanjay meets up with every variant of sinner and would-be savior, and along the way he trades on his "heart-breaking" physical beauty and canny lingual facility to grab at luck wherever it may be had--in the pocket of a tourist, as a guide for the Western news crews who regularly descend on Bombay to update their stock footage of grinding poverty, or in the bed of an older male protector or a past-her-prime cinema princess.           Throughout, Sanjay's spirit is sustained by the movies, and by his first behind-the-scenes glimpse, as a young trespasser on the set of the Silver Castle, of the magical artifice of filmmaking. It is a true vision of an utterly false reality, the source of Sanjay's subsequent triumphs and of his ultimate misfortune. But what happens to Sanjay in the end is not a singular event. As this deeply humane novel convincingly argues, Sanjay's fate is the world's.Back Ad:Perhaps it would have been better for [Sanjay] if he had never seen the Silver Castle, never felt a guiding hand, never blinked at an unstained smile. Then he would not have missed these things. It is just possible, however, that the memory of his first visit to Long Ago sustained him. Imagination and energy are part of each other, and few of us, even though we live in circumstances far more favourable, would ever get to where we are going unless a picture of it, however inaccurate, was already in our minds. If we had to, we too would have to dodge the rain between rubbish dumps, on the long journey back to the taste of a cheese roll, the tang of sparkling water, trumpets that crackle and toe-nails stained with plums. We don't have to, but Sanjay did.
