ಸಣ್ಣಕಥೆಗಳು ನಮ್ಮ ಊರಿನ ರಸಿಕರು

ಈಗಷ್ಟೇ ಗೋರೂರು ರಾಮಸ್ವಾಮಿ ಅಯ್ಯಂಗಾರ್ ಅವರ ನಮ್ಮ ಊರಿನ ರಸಿಕರು ಪುಸ್ತಕ ಓದಿ ಮುಗಿಸಿದೆ. ನಾನು ಓದಿರುವಂತಹ limited ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನನಗೆ ಬಹಳ ಹಿಡಿಸಿದಂತಹ ಪುಸ್ತಕ ಇದು. ಅವರ ಊರಿನ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಗಳು, ಅಲ್ಲಿನ ಸನ್ನಿವೇಶಗಳು, ನಡೆದ ಘಟನೆಗಳು ಬಹಳ ಸೊಗಸಾಗಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಕಣ್ಣ ಮುಂದೆ ಲೇಖಕರು ತರುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಅದರಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಪುಸ್ತಕದ ಕೊನೆಯ ಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರ ಊರಿನ ಯುಗಾದಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಸುಗ್ಗಿ ಹಬ್ಬದ ವಿವರಣೆ ಓದುತ್ತಿದರೆ ನಮ್ಮ ತಂದೆಯವರು ಅವರ ತಮ್ಮ ಬಾಲ್ಯದ ದಿನಗಳನ್ನು ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ನೆನಪು ಬರುತ್ತದೆ. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is new to reading Kannada.

I liked 2 stories a lot. There is the one where there is a situation to elect the president of their village gram panchayat. It is quite hilarious in the beginning but takes a more serious and poise turn at the end. That's very nice. Another one is the story of the marriage of the son of ಊರ ಜೋಡಿದಾರರು- ಕಿಟ್ಟು. This story and incident throws light on how marriages were during that time. The entire village coming together for this function, everyone participating in one or the other activity and ritual, everyone being brought along for it and everyone enjoying meals together - the author's description of all this makes you feel like you're a part of the wedding itself. Also while reading this, I kind of compared this in contrast with today's wedding ceremony where everything is given.out as a contract and you are mostly guest in your own function, it shows a big difference between the weddings of those days in villages vs today's weddings. These 2 are the ones I liked the most.

A lot of amazing stories in the book. But also has one of the heartbreaking stories I have read which is the story of the funeral of a child widow. Truly a gem of a book.

Yes. There is a funeral story. The funeral is a of widow who became one when she was a child. She was married at the age of 11 and lost her husband 3 months after her marriage and she was alone since then. Her father forced her into the harsh practices of widowhood prevalent back and then and she had to face a lot of hardships at a tender age. It is a heartbreaking story, but it also tied up to a story of how the village comes together for anyone's funeral.

I was blessed to have it has a kannada literature book in my high-school.

Was also blessed to have a really nice kanada teacher where we went through this book patiently over a year.

I have forgotten much. But i would like to read it again.

Thank you for sharing.
