📝 About The Book

“A Hilarious Take on Life’s Paradoxes!”
In “Maazaa Kailasvasi Vrutpatra Vyavasaya”, D. M. Mirasdar paints a satirical picture of the life of a journalist whose career ends due to his intellectual yet unapologetic writing style. The collection is a blend of humor, wit, and deep observations on human nature, capturing the paradoxes and cunning that shape our lives.

From “Khedyatil Ek Divas”, where the author humorously exposes the misconceptions city dwellers have about village life, to “Ganpat Patil”, where a large-hearted but cunning protagonist embarks on a battle for prestige, the stories are filled with intriguing characters and situations. In “Bhiku Ingale”, the protagonist chooses to teach rather than settle for a clerk’s job, while “Eka Vargatil Path” reflects on the lessons learned in life.

The book also includes stories about compassion, like in “Flood Victims in Pune”, where villagers set out to help, only to find themselves in need of assistance. In “Nikaal”, Ganpat Waghmode fights for a favorable verdict, revealing the quirks of human nature and the unexpected turns life can take.

The common thread throughout this collection is the humorous yet insightful portrayal of life’s contradictions and human nature, told in an easy, spontaneous style that brings a conversational tone to each story.
