Bøger af Shantabai Shelke

Datarbai got up very carefully when she realised that her daughters were sleeping soundly. She took out Subhatai`s letter. She tried to get more light from the lantern by pulling out its wick a bit. She wanted to answer the letter but was not able to do so. She was wondering how to write and moreover, what to write. She took the pen in her hand. She dipped the nib in the ink-bottle. The blank paper was looking at her expectedly, the ink was getting dried up.She was just observing the dark corners one by one, blankly, wearily.

A few years ago, Shantabai was running a column `kavita smaranatlya` through the magazine `Antarnaad`. In this, she was presenting the poems which were her favourite, which she had liked very much, which she had remembered very well. While doing so, the original poem was given with Shantabai`s review about it. There were 25 such reviews by her in the magazine. This book presents them all together for the convenience of the readers. We all are aware of the poetess Shantabai.

Poetry collection by Renown marathi Poet `Shanta Shelke`. These poems nicely describes emotions of women and her bonding towards family and society.

Shantabai has a quality of gauging the depths of minds. She does it very casually. `Nisargakade Parat` shows us a different aspect to look at our life. `Bhulbhulayya` makes us realise that sometimes it is very difficult to understand the behaviour, to know the difference between truth and illusion. `Gulab, Kate, aani Kalya` help us to notice that in daytoday life, we very easily and conveniently change our thorny nature. `Warkoholic` explains that sometimes working continuously and dedicatedly becomes a major problem. `Manatala Killa` reveals the truth that sometimes freedom is unwanted. `Olakh` teaches us to face small defeats and truths. `Chorbajar` is based on the facts of life. Through all the stories, the author has succeeded in showing various surprising aspects of life, exposing us to the naked truths.
