Jawai Bapunchya Goshti

Rate this book
This son-in-law is very charming and handsome. But that was not so about his wit. At times, he behaved as if he had no sense or common knowledge at all. Finally, after a long long wait, he gets married. He gets an invitation from his in-laws place especially for the celebration of Diwali. His father warned him before leaving that he had to behave properly at his in-laws house as he is no more just anybody. On the contrary, he is now their son-in-law. So he must show attitude while being at their place. What happens then?

About the author

D.M. Mirasdar

31 books46 followers
Dattaram Maruti Mirasdar (Devanagari: दत्ताराम मारुती मिरासदार) (born 1927) is a Marathi writer and narrator principally of humorous stories. He hails from Pandharpur(Maharashtra).

Many of Mirasdar's humorous stories revolve around village life in Maharashtra. However, some of his stories concern the serious social issues and lives of the poor living in villages. His stories Gavat, Ranmanus, Kone Eke Kali, Bhavaki, Hubehub, and Sparsha belong to the latter class.

For some years, Shankar Patil, Vyankatesh Madgulkar, and Mirasdar jointly presented, in different towns in Maharashtra, highly popular public recitations of their short stories.

Mirasdar was a professor of Marathi in a college in Pune. He is currently the Acting President of Maharashtra Sahitya Parishad, Pune.

अपेक्षाभंग, नक्की द मा नी लिहलय यावर विश्वास बसत नाही

अपेक्षाभंग, नक्की द मा नी लिहलय यावर विश्वास बसत नाही,
पुस्तक घेण्यापूर्वी विचार करा, यापेक्षा त्यांची इतर पुस्तके घ्या ह्या पुस्तकाबद्दल बोलण्यासारखे काहीच नाही

Good for high school going readers
The stories are good for young high school going readers! For mature people the stories are too kiddish to enjoy!
Does not look like a Da Ma Mirajdar product.

This books humor doesn't appear to be DMs. The stories are not so great as other books like Mirasdari/Bhutacha janma. This book can be avoided

It'd seem strange to begin with how one was awfully depressed for a week when one saw this on Kindle, and got it on a whim. But that's just a small wrinkle after over two decades of spinal problem and surviving a "massive heart attack", the latter as per information from medical professionals when finally we got up courage to go to a hospital due to inability to breathe or to lie down to sleep.

So reading was now a major support for a little over a year, much more than it has been for well over six decades, and writing reviews for oneself the only work possible. And the very reliable tab crashing a major horror with risk of work bring lost.

Phones these days are more powerful, my partner for life informed me, than the laptop that's so "sensitive" it often behaves like a horse who'd like to throw you, and so I turned to the phone, managing to finish the book - Ragnarok, Age of Fire and Gravel - and reviews, giving up efforts to store the reviews more properly on the book site that's not as good as shelfari used to be.

So beginning the final book of the collection after Atlantis and Ragnarok, looking to see if one can find a separate edition, Kindle offering this one seemed worth a shot for some relief.

Serendipity, thank you!

From the word go this is hilarious, despite the simplicity, and reminds me of the loving, kind relatives who were our carers when we were young. Laughing so freely seemed good after all the strains that include watching the partner go through so much and feeling of helplessness to make it better, after the life of striving as long as one wasn't unable to carry one's share of load.

So read this if you have the least need of a smile, and be instantly refreshed.

Very blunt, some jokes were so stupid, they would make the reader think, how can someone be so stupid, especially सूर्याची पिले, लहान मुलाला देखील कळेल की जळती वात जर गुरांच्या गंजीवर ठेवली तर ती पेट घेईल.

I love reading books by D. M. Mirasdar, but this one doesn’t seem to be written by him. The humor and storytelling were quite weak. I’d say skip it.

Nice humour

The humour is well placed. Hard to control laugh at most places. Easy language reading completes fast.
Few occasions may feel overdone.
