पित्रिसत्तात्मक समाजका कुरितीहरूलाई गज्जबको रूपक प्रयोग गरेर लेखेको राम्रो लग्यो । बेलाबेला फरक साहित्य लेखिनुपर्ने कुराहरू उठ्नेगर्छ । आजसम्म पढेका नेपाली साहित्यका किताबहरू मध्यको एकदम फरक र गाहिरो संदर्भ बोकेको पुस्तक लग्यो । यो पुस्तक पुरूषद्वारा रचिएको महिलावादी साहित्यको बेजोड नमुना हो ।

रूपक अली अप्रत्यक्ष अभिब्यक्तिका लगी सहायक हुन्छ । त्यही करणले रूपकले बेलाबेला बुझाई गाह्रो पनि बनाइदिन्छ । पुस्तकमा प्रयोग भएका तत्सम शब्दको प्रचुरताले पनि सामान्य पाठकका लगी पठन त्यती सहज रहन दिँदैन ।

एक बेजोड कल्पनाशक्ती र उत्कृष्ट लेखनशैलीको उदाहरण । लेखकको काव्यिक शैलीबाट एकदमै प्रभावित भएको छु । आजबाट म पनि सरूभक्तको भक्त भएँ । संस्कृत शव्दहरुको अत्यधिक प्रयोगले भने दु:ख दिन्छ ।

अस्लिल भाषालाई घुमाउरो पारामा प्रस्तुत गरिएको उपन्यास बुझ्न सरल छ!! जसरि बुझे पनि विद्वान उपन्यासकारको लेखन शैली उत्कृष्ट लाग्यो।।

तरुनी खेती पितृसत्तामक समाजमा नारीलाई हेर्ने दृष्टिकोण र नारीको अवस्थाको कलात्मक ढंगमा चित्रण गरिएको उपन्यास हो !

यो उपन्यास

समाजको तितो यथार्थलाई प्रयोगात्मक लेखनिद्वारा निकै चोटिलो व्यंग्य प्रहार गरेका छन् सरुभक्तले। मलाई सबैभन्दा धेरै उनको दार्शनिक चेतले लोभ्याउछ।

This is a contemporary novel based on patriarchate, chauvinist ego. And such ego creates nihilism. This book resents a very unique and experimental example of nihilism.

Deep words with deep meaning

Writer's Words
I have an important wish - men should not misunderstand it, women should not refuse to understand it.

I think it's an unique writing with lots of thing to understand from the story telling perspective. It reflect the male dominated society through the character and the people around it.

Engaging and thought-provoking, this book cleverly employs the metaphor of women as 'property,' drawing parallels with land ('kheti'). Personally, it was a tough read for me as a woman. The persistent portrayal of women as possessions, evident in the narrator's fear of losing his 'kheti,' struck a disheartening chord. The use of land as a symbol captures the dehumanizing perspective some still hold, reducing women to mere property devoid of feelings.

यति विघ्न रुपकहरु छन् यस उपन्यासमा कि सरल कथालाई अलङ्कारहरु अति बिघ्न भयो पो कि जस्तो लाग्छ। तथापी कथन/आख्यान को यस उपन्यासको शैली राम्रै छ। साहित्य अध्ययनमा चाख भएकाले पढ्दा धेरै फाइदा पुग्ने खालको उपन्यास।

महिलालाई खेतको रुपमा प्रस्तुत गर्दै समाजले महिलाप्रति गर्ने व्यवहारप्रति झापडा हानेका छन् लेखकले ।

तरूनी खेतीबाट केही रोचक र विचारोत्तेजक लाइनहरूः

“ मान्छेलाई मान्छेको परम्परा उत्तराधिकारमा प्राप्त हुन्छ।”

“आफैँसितको युद्ध दुनियाँको सबभन्दा गाह्रो युद्ध हो। यो युद्धमा सर्वत्र हारको समॅभावना मात्रै हुन्छन्।”

“लामो दुःख पछि एकै चोटी सुखको आघात त पुगेन? हँ?? अचानकको खुशीले बिझाउन त बिझाएन? हँ???”

“…. विश्व व्यथा!! प्रेममा अपार दुःखहरू छन् तर प्रेम दुःखपूर्ण छैन।”

.. जीवनमा सत्य भन्ने कुरा बुझेर मात्र के हुन्छ? बुझेर मात्र व्यक्ति महान हुने भए हिजोका बुद्धभन्दा आजका खैँराते गुरू अझ महान हुन्थ्यो।”

२०२६को शुरूवातीमा सरूभक्तको किताब त्यसमाथि आख्यानबाट शुरू गरेँ। लौ! यो वर्ष मेरो पठन यात्रा शुभ नै होला जस्तो लाग्यो।
किताब रमाइलो लाग्यो। झ्याउ लागेन। यो पुस्तकको सुन्दरता र शक्ति नै सायद पात्रहरूमा मेटाफोरको प्रयोग हो। मलाई पनि यही कुरो मनपर्यो जसको कारण कथाका पात्रहरू र लयप्रति मलाई चनाखो बनाइराख्यो।

A very well-presented book that leaves you in the awe of author's metaphorically powerful writing. Simply, the great!
