📝 About The Book

This poignant collection of short stories reflects the powerful command the writer holds over language and emotion. Rooted deeply in rural settings, the stories capture the complexities of human relationships, highlighting themes such as ego, prestige, class, and hostility. These tales—some tender, others intense—interweave the paradoxes of love and hatred, making each narrative striking and memorable.

The collection represents the early literary works of the author, who skillfully portrays life’s harsh realities through raw, unfiltered storytelling. Some characters are depicted as selfless, willing to sacrifice everything to uphold the honor of their ancestry, while others expose the dark side of human nature, stopping at nothing—even taking a life—to satisfy their selfish desires.

With emotional depth and authenticity, these stories resonate deeply, stirring the reader’s soul and challenging them to reflect on morality, human values, and social structure. A must-read for lovers of Marathi literature who appreciate gritty realism blended with literary finesse.
