I’ve been asked many times which is my favourite Indian short story. This one I think. It is so good that it’s included in many Indian schools curriculum.
“Love across the salt desert”

#साधो_शब्द_विचारो
तत्त्व को 'तत्व' और महत्त्व को 'महत्व' लिखा जाने लगा है, (केंहिनि)। तर्क दिया जाता है कि उच्चारण दोनों रूपों का समान है। किंतु शब्द रचना के घटकों पर विचार करें तो तत्व, महत्व सिद्ध नहीं होते। दोनों की संरचना इस प्रकार है-
तत्+त्व= तत्त्व
महत्+त्व= महत्त्व
त्व प्रत्यय वाले अन्य शब्दों में त्त्व नहीं होगा, क्योंकि तब वह स्वरांत शब्दों से जुड़ रहा होता है, जैसे –
लघुत्व, गुरुत्व, मातृत्व, देवत्व, मनुष्यत्व आदि शुद्ध हैं।

"सभी कहते हैं, इन दिनों कोई नहीं पढ़ता। वे फिर भी दिन-रात लिखे जाते हैं और इस तरह लेखन को एक सतत 'निराशा के कर्तव्य' की तरह निबाहे जाते हैं। सभी कहते हैं कि जनता के लिए, समाज के लिए, बदलाव के लिए लिखता हूँ, लेकिन जनता, समाज और बदलाव के ठीक नीचे छिपा नज़र आता है- मैं, मैं, मैं और सिर्फ मैं।"

Opinions have no value, though the whole world is run on them. Opinions are limited.

It’s a long way to go for a wee cup of tea & a chat, but I hear they’re both top notch at the @GodrejEntGroup Lit Live Festival in Mumbai. And the company just as good - @JasmineGardosi Isheeta Ganguly & Paula Fourie. Will you join us at the @NCPAMumbai this weekend?
