Sorry, not today Abhinav.
ReplyDeleteToo lazy for that.
Maybe some other day
Recently I returned to Pune for good and fortunately could attend the Sammelan. I found the book you keep refering to in the context of Hussain controversy. Although, no argument, absolutely none, can ever change my views regarding freedom of expression, I will definitely keep an open mind while reading Bhagwat's views, so that at least I am able empathise even if I won't be able to sympathise with her views.
ReplyDeleteI also bought Pinglavel by G A Kulkarni. I am really looking forward to reading Kairi and about Taani mavashi.
I almost gave into temptation and would have bought Rajvade entire collection of books on Maharastra's historiography from the Rajvade foundation's stall at the Sammelan. The only reason I backed out was that I wasn't sure if I could sustain my interest given that I read Marathi slowly in comparison to English.
Glad you found what you were looking for.
I am happy you too got what you were looking for, Chetan.
ReplyDeleteI cannot read all of Rajwade.
For me, selected Rajwade by Akademi is good enough.
I feel I raided Popular Prakashan on Sunday morning. It was a loot. My shoulders ached carrying it!
Even if they had priced them double (suckers!) than what they did, I would have still bought all those books.
best,
Where can I buy the selected Rajvade that you wrote about?
ReplyDeleteIt's Sahitya Akademi publication.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if it is in print now.
