Mein aa gai😛
And well, As we have been waiting forever (And Ever) for this show, it is finally going to on tomorrow evening and naturally with the excellent Star cast, the thrilling promos and ofcourse the magic of SLB!!
The one thing that stands out for me is that after a long time I have seen a show which is named after a MALE lead,apart from those detective ones ofcourse.
What attracted me was ofcourse how they potrayed the characters, Modern yet deeply rooted to their roots, Style with Desism...😆
Secondly I am really interested in knowing how SLB deals with a story written more than a 100 years ago, and gives it a modern touch, making it relevant in today's scenario. Because even in Devdas, he did not much tamper with the era, but in here he has tinkered with the time period, so this is going to be interesting.
And that brings me to the original story and its writer...
GovardhanRam Tripathi
The Guy was a legendary writer. And Ofcourse he was a Lawyer
The man was as simple as he could be ...A writer by choice, he gave up his career as a lawyer at the age of 43 to contribute to the Literary world.
Somewhere in my studies I had read a snippet that once his daughter had actually destroyed the manuscript of the novel to make a kite (She was very young to understand what she was doing). GovardhanRam calmly helped her fly the kite and then gently told her that next time she should ask him before doing anything to his papers and wrote the whole thing again...the novel became SARASWATICHANDRA. One of the finest, not only in Gujarati Literature, but also in over all literature...
His Saraswatichandra was published in 1887...More than a 100 years ago and he was only 32 years old...But still what depth of emotions and what lucidity that goes through all the four parts!!
He was such renowned writer and idealist that the period 1887 to 1915 is called the 'Govardhan-Era' of Gujarati Literature...
Thank you ji for giving us such master piece!! And Thank you SLB for putting it On Screen!!!
