Nostalgia, images , childhood, secure things are all good. While we are at this,
does one know about a person Prakash Narayan Sant ??

He has written 4 books in maraThi in which he has portrayed pictures of childhood which is quite complex to the core in a fairly simple terms.

Would urge anyone associated with Belgaum in a manner or other and bet she/he would love it to spread it to wider circles.

The books are

“vanvas”, “sharada sangeet”, “pankha” and “zumbar”

Pune all india radio had adapted it and made about 13 or 26 episodes of the same some time back. I was lucky to hear a few episodes of it. Pray more will be able to ear them in future. ( should ask all india radio dharwar or all india radio sangli to air them. They should also advertise about the broadcast timings/details well in advance so that “kan-sens” will keep themselves achored near a radio set at the time of broadcast.

Hope this site is used for doing something on this front..

bye for now
Nilesh
