It is a union of three beautiful feelings. The first is our own happiness and progress. The second felling is towards our family the obligations the indebtness. One has to try to repay it to the best of his/her ability. The third is the unseen flow to help the society progress the society of which we are members. Ones life can be said fulfilled only when the indebtedness of ourselves that of the family and of the society is satisfied at the same time. If there is no conflict between these three then we can say that the person is successful in his life. V. S. Khandekar's book reveals these secrets of human life in his novel. There are many characters in this novel Of them Anand believes only in sacrifice the traditional belief; Appa and Bhayya are those incompetent people who shade off their responsiblities and justify themselves by making a single person shoulder it. Manik is hopeless literate girl but has always failed in recognising a good mind Usha is yet another character who has been aloof never expressing feelings good or bad. What are these characters eilling us? They tell us that following the customs and traditions blindlessly is harmful not only to the person following them but also to the society at large. It was in 1939 that the author stated his views as follows 'when we talk about the values in a man's life then sacrifice is alway highly regarded than enduring. But the sacrifice should always be for a noble cause.' Do not you think that this view is true even today?Most of the people lead very simple life without much ups and downs. They are common men. The newspaper is least interested in describing such common men. The creative literature hardly takes notice of these common men. The most written about topics of such literature are usually wars earthquakes storms... Some or other sort of natural or manmade calamities. This is the hypothesis of Robert Lind. Though it has exceptions the love that is described in literature follows it. In true life we wish to have smooth living with unbinding love everwhere. Love with its flowery touch feathery appearance. But in novels love always suffers. It is more hurting than healing and we as readers go for it. In reality there are neither thorns nor flowers laid in the path. There are only stones on the path of love. These stones prick our feet hurt them make them bleed. They give us pain they make us cry. At the very moment from somewhere comes a breeze cooling us healing us soothing us. The funniest part is without noticing its effects the breeze moves forward cool and to heal someone else.What is human life? It is a union of three beautiful feelings.

LOVE IS ALSO LIKE THIS CREEPER. LOVE IS NOT JUST THE LUST OR DESIRE INEVITABLE AT THE YOUNG AGE. I DO NOT CONSIDER DESIRE AS VALUELESS ACTUALLY IT SUPPORTS THE LIVING ALL OVER. WHEN THIS VERY DESIRE IS COMBINED WITH FEELINGS FROM THE BASE OF YOUR HEART THEN IT TAKES THE FORM OF LOVE AND IT BECOMES DIVINE AND RESEMBLES THE NECTAR. THE CREEPER THEN DELIVERS COMPASSION BLOSSOMS INTO FRIENDSHIP. TO UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF LOVE WE WILL HAVE TO BECOME ONE WITH THE WORLD OUTSIDE. WE WILL HAVE TO BREAK THE TOUGH SELFISHNESS. WE WILL HAVE TO OVERCOME THE ME`. TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD OUTSIDE WE WILL NEED ABSOLUTE INVOLVEMENT WITH IT THEN WE WILL UNDERSTAND THE DIVERSITY IT HAS. THE WORLD IS A COMBINATION OF PLEASANT AND DREADFUL NATURE GOOD AND BAD PEOPLE ARTS FROM LITERATURE TO MUSIC AND PLACES OF PILGRIMAGES LIKE THE SCIENTIFIC INVENTIONS TO NURSING THE PATIENTS SUFFERING WITH LEPROCY. BUT IF THIS LOVE IS SELFCENTERED THEN...? IF IT STARTS WORSHIPPING ONLY THE SOUL WITHIN IT THEN...? SUCH PERSON BECOMES THE ENEMY OF OTHERS AND OF HIMSELF. THE VINE THEN BEARS POISONOUS FLOWERS.What is human life? It is a union of three beautiful feelings. The first is our own happiness and progress.

Many thought that Khandekar has lost his ability to write. Some criticized him. But he was used to everything. He knew the limits of all the commentators. He was writing during these 56 years but he could never complete it. Through half written articles he used to think about the values and then used to stop writing the article. He shifted to Kolhapur during this period. While in Kolhapur he missed the seashore and the hills at Shiroda. Apart from this he had started writing scripts for movies. Then started the 2nd world war which killed the humanity. After a period of 5 years he wrote his first story 'Maunvrat'. He started writing again but he was not satisfied with the new social pattern. He believed that socialism will bring happiness but for that the old pattern of socialism should be demolished completely. He tried to search for the new and virtues which would provide healthy atmosphere to everybody. He tried to attempt this through his stories included in this collection.. Astitva.
