Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

RE: Take a look

 Ashok,

 

After considerable hesitation ( trepidation ? ), I finally managed to ( free ) translate my original English version of “ Vasavdatta “ at the following link

 

My regards to Asha and other members of your family

 

Incidentally , I contracted HERPES virus on entire left leg, some 3 months back and , have literally gone thru hell with pain / nausea / lack of energy / deep  depression   etc

 

Translating my old English / Gujarati poems in Hindi, is my way of staying sane !

Dear Batukbhai,

In that case it is even more beautiful. Bapuji had included Abhisaar in his very first book 'કુરબાનીની કથાઓ' as a prose piece from Tagore's Katha o Kaahini. He wrote the poem much later.

Ashok,

 

Mine was not a translation

 

I was inspired by this story which I had read many years ago

Dear Batukbhai,

I loved your Abhisaar translation. Beautifully done.

The Gujarati text has obviously not copied well from my website. Practically unreadable. I am attaching a copy of my personally typed Word document.

Also, the 'આત્મકથા' pdf I had promised that would be easier to load and read.

Really enjoyed the couple of hours Asha and I could spend with you and Bharatibhabhi. I will try my absolute best to bring Bela/Lilli and Sagar/Rebekah to see you.

Affectionately,

Ashok
