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.

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.What is human life?

The first threefour decades of the 20th century were seeing a new era. Indian culture was transforming dramatically. Communism socialism Gandhism were the philosophies responsible for this awakening. These philosophies also opened the doors to education for women. Overall the society was undergoing a slow but steady change. This era gave access to women in each and every area. The restrictions on living were loosened. The traditions and moral philosophies were beginning to shatter. The distance between rich and poor widened immensly. Everyone could not accept these drastic changes. Some accepted gracefully and willingly some accepted the changes in bits and pieces and some remained aloof not accepting a single new idea praising their old virtues and values. This novel pictures all these changes. Mukund and Sulbha are the representatives of New generation. Mukund is full of revolutionary thoughts Sulabha is incited only with her aim. Tatyasaheb symbolizes the old generation who believes in old is gold. Vijay is the odd man out displaying those who cannot accept the new concepts wholly and cannot reject the old concepts totally.What is human life? It is a union of three beautiful feelings.

From where do you get the ideas for writing? Are these ideas taken from all about you or do you create them? If you find them all around you then how come we do not notice them? I would say that the ideas are all around us. Each idea has the immense potentiality of expressions. But all of them are not converted into any form of literature. Why does this happen? I as an author feel that it is because of the limitation an author has. Not every author has the capacity to metamorphase each and every idea into a beautiful butterfly. Sometimes some idea invokes some inner strength and automatically the mind fills in with words phrases sentences. Some of it takes a form of literature some of it just does not. I have been a writer since last 50 years. For halfacentury I have been sharing my ideas with you. I am realising that my energy is drawing back these days One should not accept the boon of youth forever. This collection contains a few of my experiences. They give me utmost pleasure. They will give a me a feeling of fulfilment if you derive pleasure happiness moral support relief or entertainment.What is human life? It is a union of three beautiful feelings.
