About The Book:

This delightful collection of short stories beautifully captures the essence of Maharashtra, a state in India, with its unique landscapes, culture, and humor. Each village in Maharashtra is portrayed with its own distinct characteristics—temples dedicated to Maruti (Hanuman), special places built around towering trees, streams flowing through the land, and the soil that carries a distinct fragrance. Even the crops grown here seem to embody this unique scent.

One of the most significant elements of this collection is its portrayal of humor, which flows through the villages as naturally as the streams. Each village has its own style of humor, shaped by the people and the experiences of daily life. Whether it’s the witty remarks of the villagers, the bluffing, simple gestures of the illiterates, or the carefree attitude of the youngsters, humor is always present, emerging in unexpected and charming ways.

The author, D.M., has an extraordinary ability to observe and capture these moments of humor and human nature, offering readers an authentic glimpse into rural Maharashtra. Through his keen eye for detail, he provides not just a record of the land but also a celebration of its people and their wit, making this book a must-read for anyone who loves stories that are as much about life’s joys as they are about its challenges.
