PHUKAT (Marathi)

A COMPILATION OF STORIES; TRANSLATED AS WELL AS SOME OF HIS OWN. THE WRITER ONCE AGAIN SUCCEEDS IN MAKING US LAUGH OVER THE PURE HUMOUR. HIS STORY ‘SHIVAJI MAHARAJANCHI PATRAKARANSHI BATCHIT’- MEANING THE CONVERSATION THAT SHIVAJI MAHARAJ HAD WITH THE JOURNALISTS POINTS AT THE DISCREPANCIES THAT ARE SO PROMINENTLY SEEN IN POLITICS THESE DAYS. ANOTHER GOOD ONE IS THE STORY ‘TAGEWADE FESTIVAL’; THIS ELABORATES HOW ANY FESTIVAL HAS BECOME A FAD IN THE TOWN/VILLAGE OF TAGEWADI. THE STORY ‘MANTRYANWAR ODHAWLELA PRASANG’ PINPOINTS AT THE HOPELESS SITUATION OF LAW AND ORDER AND ALSO THE ELIGIBILITY OF OUR MINISTERS. HIS STORY ‘EKA SHOKSABHECHA VRUTTANT- A REPORT ON A CONDOLENCE MEETING’ PORTRAYS MANY PEOPLE AROUND US PERFECTLY WELL. ALL HIS STORIES TALK ABOUT THE VARIOUS CARICATURES WE SEE AROUND. THEY MAKE US LAUGH, AT THE SAME TIME, THEY ALSO MAKE US THINK ABOUT THE SOCIETY, THE TRENDS, OUR ROLE, ETC. HIS STORIES AIM AT PEOPLE FROM POLITICS, SOCIAL WORK, EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, POLICE DEPARTMENT ETC. A WONDERFUL COLLECTION OF STORIES HELPING YOU TO LAUGH AT YOUR HEART’S CONTENT WHILE HAVING THE POTENTIAL OF MAKING YOU THINK.
