Thikrichi Fodani
'ठिकरीची फोडणी' हा अशोक कांबळे यांचा पहिलाच कथासंग्रह असला, तरी त्यांच्या ह्या संग्रहातील कथा ऐंशीच्या दशकात बऱ्याच दिवाळी अंकांमधून प्रसिद्ध झाल्या आहेत. विशेष म्हणजे यातील काही काही कथांना पुरस्कारही मिळाले आहेत.
ह्या संग्रहातील कथांमधून मानवी स्वभावाचं, भावभावनांचं दर्शन तर घडतंच; परंतु सामाजिक आणि आर्थिक स्थित्यंतरातले बारकावे तपशिलासह दाखवत लेखक वाचकाला वास्तवाचं भान करून देतात. शिवाय ह्या कथा कोणत्याही एका जात वर्ग-समूहाबद्दल भाष्य न करता आपल्या आजूबाजूला घडणाऱ्या लहान-सहान, चांगल्या-वाईट घटनांबद्दल, गरीब-श्रीमंत माणसांबद्दल आणि गाव-शहरातल्या जीवनाबद्दल आपल्याशी हितगुज करत तेथील विस्तृत जीवनपट मांडतात.
कथांमधल्या विषयवैविध्याची समृद्धी पाहूनच लेखकाची प्रतिभा लक्षात येते. वाचकांना खिळवून ठेवणाऱ्या, त्यांची उत्सुकता वाढवणाऱ्या आणि ऐंशी-नव्वदचा काळ अनुभवायला लावणाऱ्या ह्या कथा नक्कीच वाचायला हव्यात.
Thikrichi Phodani is Ashok Kamble’s first collection of short stories, although many of the stories in this collection were originally published in Diwali editions during the 1980s. Notably, some of these stories have also received awards.
The stories offer a deep insight into human nature and emotions. At the same time, the author portrays the nuances of social and economic changes in detail, giving readers a clear sense of reality. These stories do not focus on any particular caste, class, or group; instead, they engage with small everyday incidents, the lives of the rich and poor, and the experiences of village and urban life, presenting a broad and vivid picture of society.
The richness and diversity of the themes in these stories reflect the author’s talent. These are captivating stories that hold readers’ attention, spark curiosity, and allow them to experience the essence of the 1980s–1990s era, making them a must-read.
