Nah, if you haven't seen it, I won't spoil it for you. I had just seen Mother India-where a mother picks up a gun and. Someone else told me that I would understand a lot about how we think about women and how we think about mothers if I read this book. But someone had told me that it was an important book, a classic and I was the kind of young twit who liked to go about reading the classics. I was reading some other translation of Shyamchi Aai and got quite tired. Because when you change, the book you're reading changes.) But it is also because a new translation is a new book and a good translation makes a world of difference. Okay, you can argue that I am another person now and therefore this is a new book.
But good translation is a rare thing and this is a great translation.
The number of languages you can read in will always be smaller than the number of languages you can't read in and so we have translation. If you can read Marathi, put this book down and go read the Marathi original. I could but I wasn't going to read it in Marathi when it had been translated into English. I read a bad translation and I wanted to give up by about page 25. You are a lucky young person because you're reading it in a good translation. Sane Guruji's Shyamchi Aai is a great seed to plant. And the trees will bear fruit, fruit you have never seen before, because they will be ideas you have thought up yourself.Īnd ideas? Real ideas? Original ideas? They are the most important thing you can have.
They grow into huge trees, and if you read enough books, eventually, you have a forest through which you can walk. Because books are seeds you plant in your head.
