The author had decided to write just one letter to her daughter who had gone abroad but ended up writing many. These letters, originally in Hindi, were published in the Air India’s magazine ‘Swagat’. Numerous travellers on Air India flights read these letters and enjoyed them. They would take the magazines with them to share with their daughters because they felt the letters were priceless and needed to be shared with every parent and daughter for a close read. Publishing these letters in a book was a major social event because the emotions present in this are not limited to just one generation. Our (Indian) customs, rituals, traditions, art of living, and classical teachings are embedded in these letters. New generations can also learn, know, and accept them. With these intentions, this book is a unique communal treasure. While reading these you will certainly experience humanity, love, and feel a connection, but you will also learn how to cultivate a new generation. After the author’s sudden demise in November 2020, her daughter decided to translate the letters into English to fulfill her mother’s wish—that the wisdom and advice contained in the letters reach a wider audience.

- Description: "‘‘क्या वे लोग खेत जोत रहे हैं? क्या उन लोगों ने अपना काम खत्म कर लिया?’’ ‘‘उन लोगों ने आधे से अधिक खेत जोत लिये हैं।’’ ‘‘क्या कुछ भी काम बचा नहीं है?’’ ‘‘मुझे तो नहीं दिखा; पर उन्होंने जुताई अच्छी तरह से की है। वे सभी डरे हुए हैं।’’ ‘‘ठीक है। अब तो जमीन ठीक हो गई है न?’’ ‘‘हाँ, अब खेत तैयार हैं और उनमें अफीम के पौधों के बीज डाले जा सकते हैं।’’ मैनेजर थोड़ी देर चुप रहने के बाद बोला, ‘‘वे लोग मेरे बारे में क्या कहते हैं? क्या वे मुझे गाली देते हैं?’’ बूढ़ा कुछ हकलाने लगा, पर माइकल ने उसे सच बोलने के लिए कहा, ‘‘तुम मुझे सच बताओ। तुम अपने शब्द नहीं, बल्कि किसी और के शब्द बोल रहे हो। यदि तुम मुझे सच-सच बताओगे, तब मैं तुमको इनाम दूँगा; और अगर तुम मुझे धोखा दोगे तो ध्यान रखना, मैं तुम्हें बहुत मारूँगा। कर्तुशा! इसे एक गिलास वोदका दो, ताकि इसमें साहस पैदा हो।’’ —इसी संग्रह से • सुप्रसिद्ध रूसी कथाकार लियो टॉलस्टॉय ने जीवन के सभी पक्षों पर प्रभावी रचनाएँ की हैं। उन्होंने धर्म में व्याप्त पाखंड तथा तत्कालीन कुरीतियों को अनावृत किया। मनोरंजन के साथ-साथ मन को उद्वेलित करनेवाली सरस टॉलस्टॉय की लोकप्रिय कहानियों का संग्रह।"

Batein Hain Baton Ka Kya
- Author Name:
Kashinath Singh
- Book Type:

- Description: पिछले पचास साल की हिन्दी कहानी में अनेक बड़े लेखकों के साथ जिन कहानीकारों का नाम अग्रणी रहा और जिन्हें पाठकों ने लगातार पसन्द किया उनमें काशीनाथ सिंह प्रमुख हैं। काशीनाथ सिंह अपने लेखन के लिए लोक से ऊर्जा ग्रहण करते हैं। वे जीवन का महत्त्व समझने वाले कथाकार हैं। सीधी-सच्ची बात कहने के लिए कला की कृत्रिमता उन्हें कभी पसन्द न आई और तभी उनकी कलम से काशी का अस्सीजैसी कालजयी कृति भी सम्भव हुई। लेखक के संसार को जानने-समझने के लिए ही नहीं वरन् उसकी कला के रहस्य को भी समझने के लिए उससे किए गए संवादों का महत्त्व है। काशीनाथ सिंह से समय-समय पर किए गए संवादों के इस संग्रह को वस्तुत: बतकही की संज्ञा अधिक समीचीन होगी क्योंकि काशीनाथ सिंह उस लोक के कथाकार हैं जो विचारों की आवाजाही में विश्वास रखता है। यहाँ संकलित लगभग दो दर्जन संवाद काशीनाथ सिंह के व्यक्तित्व और उनके सृजन सरोकारों को उजागर करने वाले हैं। विचारधारा, राजनीति और समाज की व्यापक बहसें और सवाल इन संवादों को धार देते हैं तो गद्य की कला का मर्म भी इन संवादों को उल्लेखनीय बनाता है। उनके लेखन के उत्तरार्ध में आई अनेक कृतियों यथा रेहन पर रग्घू, महुआ चरित और उपसंहार पर यहाँ अनेक संवाद हुए हैं। इन सबसे अलहदा और ऊपर है बनारस की बोली-बानी में काशीनाथ सिंह की बतकही। सीधी-सच्ची बातें और न हुआ तो दरेरा देकर कह देने का आत्मविश्वास। यह बतकही हमारे संवादहीनता से भरे समय में आत्मीय गपशप का विरल सुख है। इस गपशप में कथाकार अपने साथ पाठक को वैसे ही साथ लिए बैठा है जैसे गाँव में बर्फीली हवाओं में अलाव तापते हुए लोग सुख-दुःख की बात करते हैं। आइए, इस बतकही में शामिल होते हैं और बातों का आनन्द लेते हैं।
