A silly doubt

What is the dimension of "Generation Gap"??

Parineeta

This is about the book by the famous Bengali novelist Sarat Chandra Chatterjee. The meaning of the word parineeta u might be knowing is "The married woman". I happen to get the Kannada translation of the book in a roadside vendor and the moment I saw it I picked it. I was searching for the book from the day I watched the movie by the same name and based on the very novel. Worth buying or begging or even stealing!!

The story revolves around 3 characters Lalitha, Shekhar and Gireendra. The story I don want to tell here since I presume that you have seen the movie. Though the flow in the novel is different from the one in the movie the total story remains the same. But the best part of the book is (I here can take the liberty to compare the two different media because I’ve seen the movie and just finished the book!) the narration. Such a free flowing story it is that I couldn't stop for even a minute before finishing it.

It might not be one among the best stories, but certainly one of the few I enjoyed reading. (My all time fav though, is a Kannada story "ಮತ್ತೆ ಮಳೆ ಹೊಯ್ಯುತಿದೆ, ಎಲ್ಲ ನೆನಪಾಗುತಿದೆ" by K. Sadashiva, on which I’m planning to write a few lines in the future). And that too the invisibly flowing love between Lalitha and Shekhar. There is a love between them but till the end it is not expressed explicitly and that I enjoyed the most. Even when they get married accidentally, they never express their love to the other also.

The story takes twist when a third person Gireendra enters. He, though a very good person, doesn't know about this love and he innocently tries to woo Lalitha. He helps her uncle by giving money to save the house and becomes successful in getting uncle's support to marry her. But in the end the true love prevails!

Ok I am not taking the side of anyone in this story and I’ve tried my level best to stand neutral while commenting. I just liked the writer, for being successfully able to portray the image of the poor and simple girl Lalitha, and the rich-yet-good-hearted Shekhar and their genuine love. The story is so romantic I feel that, I just want something like that to happen in my life also!!!

Ya I should write also about the translator "Gurunatha Joshi". The guy has done a wonderful job in putting very good words and sentences. I haven't and cant read the original Bengali script but the Kannada translated version is simply too good.

Try once if u have the habit of reading. Worth spending an hour (or less) if u r my kind of person!

NOTHING'S GONNA CHANGE MY LOVE FOR YOU (Glenn Medeiros)

If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long

With you I see forever oh so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong

Our dreams are young
And we both know they'll take us
Where we want to go

Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to live without you

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you

If the road ahead is not so easy,
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are

So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too

ದೊಡ್ಡೇರಿ ಗಿರಿಭಟ್ಟ

ಬಹಳ ದಿವ್ಸದಿಂದ ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರಿಯಕ್ಕು ಅಂತ ಅನ್ಕಂಡಿದ್ದಿ. ನೊಡನ ಯೆಂತ ಆಗ್ತು ಅಂತ.

ವಿಶಯ ಯೆನಪ್ಪಾ ಅಂದ್ರೆ, ಮೊನ್ನೆ ದೊಡ್ಡೇರಿ ಗಿರಿಭಟ್ಟ ಬಂದಿದ್ದ. ಗಿರಿಭಟ್ಟನ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಹೇಳಕ್ಕು ಅಂದ್ರೆ 15 ವರ್ಷದ ಹಿಂದಿಂದ ಶುರು ಮಾಡಕ್ಕು. ಅವಂಗೆ ನಮ್ಮೂರು ಅಜ್ಜನ ಮನೆ. ಡೊಡ್ಡೇರಿ ಡಾಕ್ಟ್ರ ಮೊಮ್ಮಗ. ಒಂದ್ ಥರದಲ್ಲಿ ನಮ್ಗೆಲ್ಲಾ ಅವ್ನೇ ಗುರು. ಮೀನು ಹಿಡಿಯದು, ಬಾಳೆಕಾಯಿ ಕದಿಯದು(!), ಕಥೆ ಹೇಳದು.. ಅವ್ನೇ ಯೆಲ್ಲಾ ಕಲ್ಸಿದ್ದು.
ಅಂಥಾ ಗಿರಿ ಈಗ ಹೆಂಗಾಯ್ದ ಅಂದ್ರೆ ವಾವ್ ಅನ್ಸ್ತು. ಅದ್ಭುತವಾಗಿ ಕೊಳಲು ನುಡಿಸದು ಕಲ್ತಿದ್ದ. ಇನ್ನೂ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಜಿಕ್ ಮಾಡದು ಕಲ್ತಿದ್ದ. ನಿಜವಾಗ್ಲೂ ಎಷ್ಟು ಕಲೆಗಾರ ಅವ ಅಂತ ಖುಶಿ ಆಗ್ತು. ಮುಂದಿನ ಸಾರಿ ನಮ್ ರೂಮಿಗೆ ಬಂದಾಗ ಒಂದ್ ಕೊಳಲು ಕಚೇರಿ ಮಾಡಕ್ಕು ಅಂತ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದಿ. ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾಯ್ತಾ ಇದ್ದಿ.
