Life is magic and life is fun. This cocktail of poems in Hindi called Hasthi Jhindagi contains 70 years of rainbow colours of love, life and laughter.
Indira Sud launches her first book at age of 70 plus and has filled it with a concoction of her paintings. These poems has flavours of various stages in the life of women - a daughter, a wife, a mother and a grandmother - all roping in amazing moments of life into happening poems.
You have the poem 'Gautam Tum Bane Mahan' where the author displays feminist colours when she sides with the character's wife, Yashoda. She questions the 'Indian wife syndrome' with the poem 'Mard hu Mard' and then she shows her softer shades as a grandmother, finding an answer to her two-and-half-year-old grandson's question Why is Nani's house so far? in the poem 'Masum Prashan'. To top it off, when she becomes a grandmother for the second time and has the tough job of taking care of her two-month-old grandson all by herself, she thrives in it with the poem 'Nana Jinn', which is a rollicking satire.
If you want to discover life, it's time to have Hasti Jhindagi!
