NIMITTA

WE ALL HAVE A GIFT OF THINKING AND EXPRESSING, FEW OF US HAVE THE CAPACITY OF PUTTING THOUGHTS INTO WORDS, BUT THE CAPABILITY TO EXPRESS CORRECTLY AND EFFECTIVELY IS POSSESSED RARELY; VA PU IS ONE OF SUCH RARE PEOPLE. HE IS THE MOST FAMOUS, LOVED AND SOUGHTAFTER WRITER IN THE HISTORY OF MARATHI LITERATURE. A WRITER ALWAYS HAS A STORE OF EXPERIENCES WITHIN HIM, EAGER TO COME OUT; AWAITING A VENT. NOT ALL OF THEM ARE PUT INTO WORDS. YET, MANY OF THESE EXPERIENCES MEET US AS STORIES OR DRAMAS OR POETRY OR NOVEL; SOME OR THE OTHER FORM OF LITERATURE. SOMETIMES, SOME EXPERIENCES REFUSE TO APPEAR IN THE RECOGNIZED FORMS; BUT THE URGE TO APPEAR COMPELS THEM TO COME OUT IN SOME AESTHETIC FORM, INNOVATIVE IN PRESENTATION, UNIQUE IN STYLE, EXCLUSIVE IN NATURE. THE WORK INCLUDED UNDER THIS TITLE "NIMITTA` WHICH MEANS STIMULUS COMES UNDER THE ABOVE MENTIONED CRITERIA. THEY ALL BEAR THE SALIENT FEATURES OF VA PU`S WRITINGS. THEY HAVE CERTAINLY ADDED TO THE TREASURE OF MARATHI LITERATURE HIGHLIGHTING HIM AS A PROMINENT AUTHOR.
