Saras - 8/5 - Baahon ke Darmiyaan! - Page 3

That's a great news, Shrushti. As I told you, identifying parallels in between original and a vastly altered adaption is quite a fun. But, at the same time, speaking on them in a non responsive room is like speaking to wall. To have a fellow reader is an excellent motivator. Though, I would like to remind you here that its not an easy read. Plus, in our busy schedules, to explore such a complex writing, so generously embellished with poetry, Sanskrit or even much obscure Gujarati words, usages etc. all these may test a strong resolve. Speaking on personal exp. I am going quite slow. And at the moment have been stuck up on Book 2; Gunsundari. And so far, along with the story, even Language is mesmerising. I feel simply exhilarated at rediscovering, strength of Gujarati; its vast vocabulary, astounding lucidity, extra ordinary capacity to conceptualise and describe a vast gamut of Ideas. Just Superb! Taking up reading in mother tongue after a long time is a hugely satisfying experience. So Srushti, do embark on the novel. It enriches the plunger. I assure you.

P.s. if you want the address of the bookshops, I can suggest, they can courier...

In bet'n, had missed today's episode as we were out on dinner with the friends. So wont be able to add anything on it...so long!
