About The Book:
Moravala is a collection of deeply reflective essays written by the renowned author Shivaji Sawant. Drawing from the analogy of "Moravala" — the tangy-sweet gooseberry preserve, this book encapsulates the complex flavors of human emotions and experiences. Just as the preserve transforms from a sour and bitter fruit into something palatable, Sawant’s writing molds raw, unrefined emotions like ego, hatred, and jealousy into sweetly woven reflections.

The essays explore various facets of life, touching on politics, education, literature, and rural life, with a focus on individuals from different walks of life. Sawant’s distinctive voice, rooted in the local language of Kolhapur, adds authenticity and richness to the narrative. The sketches of rural lives presented in this book leave a lasting impression on the reader, creating a vivid portrayal of real-world struggles and triumphs.

Through Moravala, Sawant invites the reader to examine and reflect on the intricacies of human nature, presenting them in an enticingly readable and thought-provoking manner. The book, much like its title, preserves the essence of life’s contradictions and brings them to the forefront with poetic finesse.
