Strong Balance Sheet of Shripad Krushna Kolhatkar

Today June 29 2014 is 143rd Birth Anniversary of Shripad Krushna Kolhatkar ( श्रीपाद कृष्ण कोल्हटकर), the best humorist in Marathi and one of the greatest India produced. 

When I saw the following on FB page of Amar Chitra Katha studio, I was reminded of Kolhatkar's Marathi essay: "Chitraguptacha Jamakharch" (चित्रगुप्ताचा जमाखर्च), first published more than 100 years ago.




 I am enclosing a scanned copies of a couple of pages of Kolhatkar essay.

For me, most of Shripad Krushna's humour, who has appeared on this blog a few times earlier, remains ever so fresh!
