This is my first post on the blog,Want to start it with something simple.Let me start with this : A simple man P.LDeshpande Purushottam Laxman Deshpande (पुरुशोत्तम लक्षमण देशपांडे)(November 8, 1919 - June 12, 2000) was a noted Indian writer in Marathi. He was also famous as an orator and performing artist. Born in Mumbai, he was educated at Pune's Ferguson College and Willingdon College, Sangli He worked as a lecturer and teacher before making his move into literature in the 1940s.Pu La had a deep interest in the Hindustani classical music and musical theatre in Maharashtra. He vividly described it in his writings, popularised it and ultimately became a part of it. He played the Harmonium and was a talented singer. Moreover He was a good music & film director as well as a great actor.
This weekend i was watching DVD of P.L Deshpande's marathi play called Batatyachi Chaal and his other performance .What surprised me was his brillaint observation of life and the world around.The way he describes the characters and plots of this "chaal" it gives a sense of whats happening around us and in the Indian Society.The stories are such that you can identify with yourself whereever you are in India and it comes across as its happening right in your house,with neighbours,street any where.I realised that seeing life through such a simple personlaity makes life intresting, it includes you,makes you feel part of the society and accepts you for what you are.
