GAPPAGOSHTI

In Maazaa kailasvasi vruttapatra vyavasaya the protagonist narrates how his journalistic career came to an end due to his intellectual nononsense style of writing…Khedyatil ek divas takes a sarcastic look at the gross misconceptions that city dwellers hold about village life…Bhiku Ingale decides to become a teacher rather than a clerk and in Eka vargatil path he tells how he learnt his lesson for life! Moved by the plight of flood victims in Pune the folk of Bhokarwadi go on a fundraising drive and end up needing help themselves…In Ganpat Patil we meet the largehearted but cunning protagonist who keeps fighting the case for prestige though he is sure to lose; yet in the end he forgives Sakhu…on the other hand in Nikaal Ganpat Waghmode somehow manages to get a favourable verdict for himself… The common thread that links the tales together in this collection is the somewhat humorous streak underlying all human nature – full of paradoxes and cunning. The easy and spontaneous style has lent a conversational tone to the volume.
