About the author

Vyankatesh Digambar Madgulkar (Marathi: व्यंकटेश दिगंबर माडगूळकर) (1927–2001) was one of the most popular Marathi writers of his time. He became well-known mainly for his realistic writings about village life in a part of southern Maharashtra called Maandesh, set in a period of 15 to 20 years before and after India's Independence.

Madgulkar wrote 8 novellas, over 200 short stories, about 40 screenplays, and some folk plays (लोकनाट्य), travelogues, and essays on nature. He translated some English books into Marathi, especially books on wild life, as he was an avid hunter.

It's a wonderful, wonderful book. The way sir madgulkar writes will take you to all the places he has gone to during his lifetime, you will actually imagine the birds and the animals he has seen. In such hustling life, sync books are surely a breath of fresh air, it reminds you of villages, of forests, of nature that's inside and outside you.

It was a pleasant experience to read this book. Vyankatesh Madgulkar has made simple things so special through his observation and writing. The travel in the various forests are charming and I felt as if I was accompanying him through them all. The sketches are so lovely, making the write ups more lively. I would like to read this book many many times, whenever i need to feel good.
