Farewell, now you will no longer be you, nor I, I. As if to say, This ebbing night will rise now in such a day that will be new.

Geetanjali Shree in, Tomb of Sand.

hi so this is a request, especially to those who can read hindi fluently

PLEASE READ THE HINDI VERSION OF रेत समाधी (Tomb of Sand) INSTEAD OF THE ENGLISH TRANSLATED ONE

The deman for Hindi novels and literature has seen a steady decline in popularity and demand in the past decade (i myself read my last hindi novel only in 2017), and now with a hindi novel winning the Booker prize for the first ever time, maybe it can help in reviving Hindi literature!

so please please please please read the original hindi version of रेत समाधी if you can read hindi fluently.

Geetanjali Shree's Ret Samadhi brings Hindi literature to the other side

At the book reading and discussion on 5 July 2022 at the Stein Auditorium at New Delhi's India Habitat Center renowned journalist Poonam Saxena engaged Shree on the characters, themes, and eccentricities of her book Ret Samadhi published by Rajkamal Prakashan in Hindi. The English translation – Tomb of Sand, published by Titled Axis in the UK and Penguin in India, has just won the prestigious award for translations, bringing Hindi and the entire bucket of South Asian languages into the limelight. 

Shree said she hopes Tomb of Sand achieves the recognition that South Asian literature deserves – perhaps creating an opening to the many interesting authors that are writing in its numerous languages and now increasingly finding translation. She then went on to read out a witty and humorous extract from Ret Samadhi allowing the audience to admire and acknowledge the depth and dexterity of her language and work.

Language is an entity by itself

In the conversation with Saxena, Shree explained that she dabbled in theater before taking up writing as a full-time profession and continues to delve into this experience to present her thoughts in her unconventional style. “Language is an entity by itself. It is not something that has to be used as a vehicle to say something. It is the power of language that takes over and makes me write in a certain way,” she said. Playing with words she said helps her unlock new meanings and to think from independent and emerging perspectives.

Ret Samadhi plays with a variety of themes including family dynamics, the partition, mental health, the loss of a loved one, and old age and its associated health issues. The author added that the theme is also about the partitions that emerge in one’s life – “The novel finds its own voice and stories as it goes along, it certainly becomes a novel about partitions, borders, bridges.

While subtly sewing the theme of the partition into the fabric of the novel, Shree challenges the manner in which its brutal realities have been invoked by a previous generation of writers, including the ruthless images evoked by Khushwant Singh’s Train to Pakistan, Amrita Pritam's Pinjar, Bhisham Sahni's Tamas or Saadat Hasan Manto's short stories.

She also paid tribute to her idol and inspiration, the legendary Hindi author Krishna Sobti, who defied the common images of the elderly and was always as fresh as a daisy till her very last days. 

At the conclusion of the hour-long conversation, Shree signed her books and interacted with fans and literary enthusiasts.

That's why mutiny is more fun than harmony, salaciousness trounces salubriousness; desecration beats devotion, destruction wins over construction, kerfuffle over unruffled, panic over picnic, cruel over cool. Thus, as in Tolstoy's story, the wife tires of her nice calm doctor husband and runs after her hedonistic good-for-nothing lover. Sometimes people embrace their own ruin. They abandon dependability and go all in for whatever sets their pulse racing.

Love isn't good for health

Either love is unselfish and you would gladly give your breath to another,

Or its egoistical and you will devour another.

In love's struggle

One withers, as the other blooms.

One is shaded, the other is illuminated.

One is a sheep, the other is the shepherd.

One is the feet, the other a towering head.

One is glutton as the other starves.

One rides the wind as the other is trampled underfoot.

One blossoms, the other fades.
