1. वेग

................................................................................................


Well written, even though a few unsavory descriptions that, despite having read the author, still bother someone more used to expecting a satvik tone. 

At some point, when she's gone to Khandesh, suddenly it becomes familiar, however different in details. 

Was this the story that Benegal used fir his third film, Bhumika? 

The story evokes far more emotions than the film did even in a far younger audience, and far more sympathy despite a recounting by a third voice, not the main character as the protagonist.

An old poor rural woman working hard raises her family and home above the poverty she began with at birth and after wedding, after she's a widow, and manages to change family business and caste from barbers to a far more respectable cattle owning dairy vendors, as she changes the home from a small hut to a two floor large house. 

Very endearing character sketch, commanding respect, at finally, sympathy from heart, as the old woman is attached to her home, money, and people of village she worked amongst, not ready to pass on.
