Is Hamam mein
- Author Name:
Chitra Mudgal
- Book Type:

- Description:
कहानी को लेकर होनेवाली तमाम चर्चाओं को ध्यान में रखा जाए तो यह विश्वास करना पड़ेगा कि किसी के लिए कहानी केवल भाषा है, किसी के लिए केवल स्थिति चित्रण, कुछ के लिए केवल विचार है तो कुछ के लिए सिर्फ संवेदनाओं का अभिलेख। हरेक के अपने-अपने प्रवर्तक और समर्थक हैं, जो कभी इसे तो कभी उसे कहानी का शिखर घोषित करते रहते हैं। अपने उत्साह में वे यह भुला देते हैं कि कथा साहित्य के व्यापक कैनवस पर अलग-अलग रंगों के रूप में तो उनका कुछ महत्त्व हो सकता है, लेकिन किसी एक को ही कहानी का सर्वोच्च पैमाना नहीं बनाया जा सकता। अर्थरहित भाषा का झुनझुना कब तक बज सकता है, या जीवन-स्थितियों से रहित संवेदना का या संवेदनाविहीन जीवन-स्थितियों का क्या अर्थ है? बहुत से रचनाकार ऐसे हैं, जो प्रचलित मुहावरों और फैशनों से अप्रभावित रहते हुए इस बात के प्रति सचेत हैं कि कहानी वह सबकुछ है और इन सबसे मिलकर बनती है। चित्रा मुद्गल इन्हीं सचेत दृष्टि सम्पन्न रचनाकारों में हैं। उनकी कहानियों का मुख्य सरोकार समकालीन जीवन-स्थितियों में मनुष्य के भीतरी संसार का उद्घाटन है। लेकिन यह भीतरी कशमकश भी बदलते जीवन-परिवेश का आत्मीय ब्योरों और कलात्मक नजर के साथ अंकन भी करती चलती है। इस तरह ये इकहरी अभिव्यक्ति की कहानियाँ न होकर कई स्तरों पर प्रभावित करनेवाली कहानियाँ हैं। ये कहानियाँ मानवीय सम्बन्धों की आन्तरिक जटिलताओं का अंकन पात्रों को उनके परिवेश से काटकर शिमला या कश्मीर के डाकबँगलों में ले जाकर नहीं, बल्कि उनके दैनन्दिन जीवन के संघर्षों के बीच, सामाजिक व्यवस्था की पृष्ठभूमि में करती हैं, जहाँ रोजी-रोटी का संघर्ष भी है और पारिवारिक परम्पराओं तथा जीवन की रूढ़ स्थितियों से टकराव भी।

- Book Type:

- Description:
ग्रामीण, क़स्बाई और शहरी जीवन के सुख-दुख की ये कहानियाँ अपने भाषिक प्रवाह के लिए ख़ासतौर पर प्रभावित करती हैं। कहीं छोटे और कहीं बड़े अपने कलेवर में जीवन का एक सम्पूर्ण चित्र सम्भव करती हुईं ये कहानियाँ देर तक हमारी स्मृति में बनी रहती हैं। शीर्षक कथा ‘रफू वाली साड़ी’ के अलावा ‘एक टुकड़ा प्रेम’, ‘किस्मत का खेल’, ‘भला कीजिए भला होगा’, ‘मोहिनी’, ‘पिता’ और ‘भला-बुरा’ आदि संग्रह की लगभग सभी कहानियाँ निम्न तथा मध्यवर्गीय भारतीय जीवन के किसी न किसी महत्त्वपूर्ण पहलू को उजागर करती हैं। यह कथाकार का कौशल है कि अपनी कहानी के फ़्रेम में वे मनुष्य-जीवन के कई पहलुओं को एक साथ रेखांकित करते हुए चलते हैं। ‘चुनावी यात्रा’ शीर्षक कहानी इसका अच्छा उदाहरण है जिसमें आम जन-जीवन से जुड़ी कितनी ही समस्याओं को छूते हुए कथाकार बेरोजगारी, किसानों की बदहाली, काम के लिए दूर-दराज के क्षेत्रों में पलायन की विडम्बना को दिखाते हुए नई पीढ़ी में राजनीतिक सजगता के अभाव की ओर भी इशारा करती है। एक पठनीय कथा-संग्रह|

- Description:
पाठक किसी पात्र से एकत्व स्थापित कर लेता है; जब उसका अपमान उसकी वेदना बन जाता है, तब ही लेखनी की सार्थकता को हम मान्यता दे पाते हैं। जब ‘कृष्णकली’ लिख रही थी तब लेखनी को विशेष परिश्रम नहीं करना पड़ा, सब कुछ स्वयं ही सहज बनता चला गया था। जहाँ क़लम हाथ में लेती, उस विस्तृत मोहक व्यक्तित्व को, स्मृति बड़े अधिकारपूर्ण लाड़-दुलार से खींच, सम्मुख लाकर खड़ा कर देती, जिसके विचित्र जीवन के रॉ-मैटीरियल से मैंने वह भव्य प्रतिमा गढ़ी थी। ओरछा की मुनीरजान के ही ठसकेदार व्यक्तित्व को सामान्य उलट-पुलटकर मैंने पन्ना की काया गढ़ी थी। जब लिख रही थी तो बार-बार उनके मांसल मधुर कंठ की गूँज कानों में गूँज उठती। वही विस्तृत मधुर गूँज, उनके नवीन व्यक्तित्व के साथ, ‘कृष्णकली’ में उतर आई। —शिवा

- Description:
Women’s voices no longer record only women’s confinement in kitchens and backyards and their victimhood. They speak of invisible enclosures around individuals, insurmountable barriers in much widened scenarios of the world. The twenty nine short stories in this volume bring together varieties of themes, multifocal narratives, strange figures, unusual metaphors and alternative world views. Underlying is all these is a quest for a just and equitable world. No subject such as Dalit, Minority, tribal issues, farmers’ distress, newer forms of exploitation in highly technological spaces under the impact of Globalization, and existential quest escapes the pens and perception of these marvelous Telugu women writers. More than a dozen translators enthusiastically lent their creative skills to bring these rich stories to English readership. The transformation of women from victims to survivors to saviours would have been amazing if men and women, worked together to build a casteless, classless, environmental friendly society.

Krishna Sobti
- Book Type:

- Description:
लेखन को जीवन का पर्याय माननेवाली कृष्णा सोबती की क़लम से उतरा एक ऐसा उपन्यास जो सचमुच ‘ज़िन्दगी’ का पर्याय है—‘ज़िन्दगीनामा’। ‘ज़िन्दगीनामा’—जिसमें न कोई नायक। न कोई खलनायक। सिर्फ़ लोग और लोग और लोग। ज़िन्दादिल। जाँबाज़। लोग जो हिन्दुस्तान की ड्योढ़ी पंचनद पर जमे, सदियों ग़ाज़ी मरदों के लश्करों से भिड़ते रहे। फिर भी फ़सलें उगाते रहे। जी लेने की सोंधी ललक पर ज़िन्दगियाँ लुटाते रहे। ‘ज़िन्दगीनामा’ का कालखंड इस शताब्दी के पहले मोड़ पर खुलता है। पीछे इतिहास की बेहिसाब तहें। बेशुमार ताक़तें। ज़मीन जो खेतिहर की है और नहीं है, वही ज़मीन शाहों की नहीं है मगर उनके हाथों में है। ज़मीन की मालिकी किसकी है? ज़मीन में खेती कौन करता है? ज़मीन का मामला कौन भरता है? मुजारे आसामियाँ। इन्हें जकड़नों में जकड़े हुए शोषण के वे क़ानून जो लोगों को लोगों से अलग करते हैं। लोगों को लोगों में विभाजित करते हैं। ‘ज़िन्दगीनामा’ का कथानक खेतों की तरह फैला, सीधा-सादा और धरती से जुड़ा हुआ। ‘ज़िन्दगीनामा’ की मजलिसें भारतीय गाँव की उस जीवन्त परम्परा में हैं जहाँ भारतीय मानस का जीवन-दर्शन अपनी समग्रता में जीता चला जाता है। ‘ज़िन्दगीनामा’—कथ्य और शिल्प का नया प्रतिमान, जिसमें कथ्य और शिल्प हथियार डालकर ज़िन्दगी को आँकने की कोशिश करते हैं। ‘ज़िन्दगीनामा’ के पन्नों में आपको बादशाह और फ़क़ीर, शहंशाह, दरवेश और किसान एक साथ खेतों की मुँड़ेरों पर खड़े मिलेंगे। सर्वसाधारण की वह भीड़ भी जो हर काल में, हर गाँव में, हर पीढ़ी को सजाए रखती है।

Okay before i start talking about the book, I wanna tell all the readers about this app I got the book from it's called ' Rachnaye ' just the perfect name for a bookish store✨ So, you find really good titles at reasonable prices, in many different languages. And if you want any book you email them and they'll surely add the book! So do download the app and check it out, it's a really nice app if you ask me✨ ✨So towards the book, 🥀Name- Jashn An Avakening 🥀Author- @geetikakbakshi 🥀Publisher- @inkfeatherspublishing 🥀Rating- 3/5⭐ 🥀Review--- 🥀'JASHN: AN AVAKENING ' is a novel comprising of many short stories of different genre✨ 🥀Humor, mystery, romance, chick lit and what not! I found so much in this book and was so exited. Isn't it weird how a little book, of few pages contains so many worlds and can make the reader feel a load of emotions✨ 🥀Although, I'd say this book might lack a bit of connection between the reader and story. Like when I read a good book, I'm lost in it. I'm intrigued, I'm having that connection with it and bits of it remains with me forever✨ 🥀Maybe this book wasn't that impacting, cause me as a person who reads mid exams cause the book is nice was like okay, this was a good story but what is left? I think this can be fixed, if the stories were a bit long. I understand the meaning of short stories, but what's written in the book is too fast paced! Other than this, it kinda was a relaxing book✨ ~Azmi✨
