BOOK REVIEW “Mrutyunjayee”

Author: Ratnakar Matkari

Genre: Short Stories

Language: Marathi

Pages: 189

Cost: 150 Rs.

Publisher: Mehta Publishing House

First Published in India: 4 October 1983

This is Ratnakar Matkari’s First book I am reading, although he is well known king of short stories in Marathi. People say Ratnakar Matkari owns factory of Short Stories where he creates new stories day in day out. I even heard that he take his job as writer like any other office job. He sits down 10 to 6 and writes a story or so every day.

As for this book it has some good stories, some not so good. This is surely not his best of work. One of my friends suggested that his specialty is Mystery, so next time I should try my hands on that genre. If I have to rate this book I will give it 5 out of 10.

Shayari of Bhausaheb Patankar


१. "शायरी ऐकून माझी सांगेल जो आता पुरे
     तो रतीला चुम्बिताही सांगेल कि आता पुरे...
     तोंडही भगवन तयाचे मला दावू नका
     न जरी मंजूर हेही माझे तया दावू नका........"

२. "पौत्रादिका पाहून वाटे झालो जरासा वृद्ध मी
      जळल्यावारी सरणात कळले नक्की आता मेलो आम्ही
     आमुचे वार्धक्य जैसे आम्ही कधी ना पहिले
     मिटलेच होते नेत्र नाही मृत्युसही मी पहिले..."

३. "तुमचाच आहे अंश भगवन मीही कुणी दुसरा नव्हे
      लोळण्या पायी तुझ्या तुमचा कुत्रा नव्हे..."

४." दोस्तहो दुनियेस धोका मेलो तरी आम्ही दिला
      येऊनही नरकात पत्ता कैलासचा आम्ही दिला
      हाय हे वास्तव्य माझे सर्वांस कळले शेवटी
      सारेच हे सन्मित्र माझे येथेच आले शेवटी...."
