"Paangal", a Marathi 'Katha Sangraha' by Prof. Milind Joshi during vacation. This is a collection of 14 short stories.
All the stories are interesting. Some of them like 'Samadhi' are too good. This book has a bouquet of stories. 'Krishnarpanamastu' is a tragedy, 'Sathi' is a comedy, 'Paangal, is a tale of sorrow, 'Eka sahityikachi diary' is a parody, 'Jimi ani me' is aashawadi, 'Dattak putra' depicts complex family relations.
Death seems to be the central theme of the book as 9 out of 14 stories have death in it.
Details of human emotions, human nature and interpersonal relations are captured very well. However it seems that ,in order to make the stories short-n-sweet, sometimes writer has been miser in allocating enough words to create the background that explains the behaviour of a particular character or an incedent.
The editing and proof reading of the book leaves lot to be desired. In addition to the grammatical errors, there are some descripancies and contradictions that could have been easily avoided by a watchful eye.
Overall it's, really, a good book. A nice Marathi read after a long time.
