Narayan Surve's preface in Sanad: A must-read to understand why his poetry resonates

I arrived as a lawaris—a child abandoned. People might call it a disaster, but I see it differently. My umbilical cord was cut by a stranger, but I was embraced by a city

CONTD ...

[Ramu Ramanathan @BoodhuRamu]

Hundred salaams to hundred years of Narayan Surve

Perhaps the greatest poet who was born in Mumbai (15 October 1926)

My 2500-word piece in the Hindustan Times about how a Marathi play Tambu as well as poetry readings across the state are celebrating Narayan Surve's poems

A must read, a wonderful piece by Ramu Ramanathan in HT…

My piece in today's Hindustan Times about Milind Champanerkar’s film

Footprints of Annabhau Sathe's Loknatya chronicles a cultural movement and a working-class poet + littérateur

Annabhau transformed the traditional Marathi folk theatre, Tamasha into Loknatya (people's theatre)

A stirring evening with Narayan Surve

Lots of rasiks at the Sane Guruji Rashtriya Smarak Trust

Impressive recitation of Surve Master's poems and essays (plus songs and one lavani) by the who's who of the Marathi literary universe

Narayan Surve zindabad. An asli people's poet

28 essays by Praveen Bandekar, author + activist

After the brutal silencing of Com Pansare's voice, Bandekar was on the hitlist

From Tukaram to Saramago; from CT Khanolkar to John Osborne, Bandekar spotlights life in rural Konkan

A Sahitya Akademi winning novelist

Must-read!

A door in Porbandar. For hundred years it has witnessed ...

- Failed romances
- Half-hearted political ambitions
- Harebrained philosophies
- Funeral processions

Ratan Thiyam RIP (Thread #7)

Ratan Thiyam said, I've to base my plays on myths or else no one will take notice of me, or my work

I saw Thiyam's Urubhangam (1980). What he did with Bhasa's words was joy

Three things stood out: theatre vocabulary + kinetic precision + spectacle

Rude staff at Jones Express Bangalore airport: Early morning, you want to have your coffee. You are about to settle down at a table. Other tables are vacant. A rude staff member walks upto you and says: You can’t eat your breakfast here. Go to the sofas. Wow #JonesTheGrocer!
