Hindi Book Geetanjali Shree - Ret Samadhi

Grandma, who was about to turn eighty, became a widow and turned her back on the family and took to her bed. The family tried to pull her back. The joint family was seething with love, hatred and mutual bickering. Grandma insisted that she would not get up now. Then the sound of these words changes to 'Now I will get up as a new person'. Grandma gets up. Absolutely new. New childhood, new youth, free from social taboos and prohibitions, completely free in new relationships and new attitudes. There is a new shade of story writing in this novel. Its story, its chronology, its sensibility, its narration, all move in their own unique style. Crossing our well-known limits and boundaries. The known is also absolutely unique and new here. Its world is both familiar and magical, erasing the difference between the two. Time also comes in its continuity here. Every happening contains the happenings of the past, and every moment contains dormant centuries. For example, the aggressive Indian and Pakistani nationalist demonstrations that take place every evening at the Wagah border echo the 'voices of massacres returning from the past', and the long shadows of time remain confined in the everyday life of the joint family. And there are boundaries too which this work crosses to become unique, like man and woman, young and old, body and mind, love and hate, sleeping and waking, joint and single families, India and Pakistan, humans and other living creatures (it is not without reason that this story is often narrated in the voice of a butterfly or a crow or a partridge or the road or the ancestral door) or prose and poetry: 'Tears fall from the Dhamma like stones. Raindrops.'
