WHAT HAS EXCLUSIVELY BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE PLEASURE BOX, IS NOTICEABLE, THE LETTERS WHICH ARE FULL ONLY OF PRAISES, ARE NOT PUBLISHED, THIS IS NOT A TRUNK FULL OF LETTERS WISHING WELL-BEING, THIS IS A DIALOGUE, OF COURSE, SOME LINES DO RELATE TO OPENING STATEMENTS ENQUIRING ABOUT EACH OTHER. STILL, IT HAS TO BE KEPT IN MIND THAT THIS CORRESPONDENCE THROUGH LETTER HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED WITH A PURPOSE. IT AIMS AT KNOWING THE LIKES AND DISLIKES OF EACH OTHER. YET, WE HAVE EDITED A LOT FROM EACH OF THE LETTER SENT BY THE READERS. AT TIMES, THE READERS ARE TOO ELABORATIVE WHILE PRAISING WHICH OFTEN MAKES THE RECEIVER AWKWARD. ON THE OTHER HAND, THIS HAMPERS THE DIALOGUES. THE LETTERS WHICH HELPED TO FURTHER ESTABLISH COMMUNICATION WERE SELECTED.

A FEW QUESTIONS IN LIFE LIKE, `IS THE KING IN THE GAME OF CHESS A REAL ONE?` `ARE THE FAIRIES IN THE TALES REAL?`, `DO THE CHARACTERS IN A DRAMA REALLY EXIST?` THESE ALL ARE VERY SIMPLE QUESTIONS, YET WE ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND OUT THE MEANING BEHIND THEM OR TO FIND SUITABLE ANSWERS TO THEM. WE NEED TO LEAD OUR LIFE THROUGH MANY EXPERIENCES, GOOD AND BAD; MANY MOMENTS OF HAPPINESS AND SADNESS; WE HAVE TO FACE A LOT, PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS; WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THE PEOPLE WRAPPED IN THEIR OWN WORLDS; PEOPLE OF ALL MENTALITIES, GOOD AND BAD, WISE AND UNWISE, PRACTICAL AND IMPRACTICAL, WE HAVE TO KNOW THEM, BE WITH THEM, ANALYSE THEM AND THEN WE ARE ABLE TO JUDGE THEM; THAT TO NOT COMPLETELY. IN THIS WORLD NOBODY CAN JUDGE ANYBODY TOTALLY. THIS BOOK PRESENTS THE STORY OF MANY PRACTICAL AND DREAMY PEOPLE; THEY WILL SURELY CAPTURE YOUR MINDS.

MY DEAR VA PU; WHENEVER WE READ YOUR STORIES WE FEEL THAT WE ARE NOT READING THEM, YOU ARE TELLING THEM AND WE ARE LISTENING TO THEM. ALL YOUR STORIES REVEAL THE JOURNEY OF MARATHI LITERATURE; THEY SHOW THE UPS AND DOWNS, THE WAVES, THE TURNS THROUGHOUT THE JOURNEY. YOUR STORY TAKES A SHORT BREAK AT EVERY MILESTONE, LOOKS BACK AND THEN CONTINUES ITS JOURNEY ONCE AGAIN, WITH A NEW VITALITY. DEAR VA PU; YOUR NARRATIVES ARE THE MOST SENILE YET THE LATEST. THEY DO NOT ABANDON THE TRADITIONS NOR DO THEY EXCLUDE THE NEWEST TRENDS. YOUR STORYLINES DO NOT HAVE THE FORCE OF THE WATERFALL, NOR DO THEY RESEMBLE THE FATHOMLESS SEA, NEITHER DO THEY RESEMBLE THE RIVERS MAKING THEIR BANKS FERTILE. THEY FLOW LIKE A STREAM, GENTLY, RHYTHMICALLY, CAPTURING THE MINDS, HYPNOTIZING THEM.

SOME OF THE `RAGA` SOME KEYNOTES ARE STRICTLY NOT EXCLUDED, NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT SUITABLE; ON THE CONTRARY THEY ARE& EXCLUDED TO MAKE THE `RAGA` MORE BEAUTIFUL, THEY ARE; EXCLUDED WILLINGLY TO GIVE A PECULIARITY AND WHILE DOING SO THEIR EXISTENCE IS NOT FORGOTTEN AT ALL, ONLY IT IS AVOIDED. THAT IS THE REASON WHY MY HUSBAND CANNOT FIT INTO YOUR LIFE AND MEMORIES AND WHY WE BOTH CANNOT FIT INTO EACH OTHER`S LIVES." VA PU HAS A VERY PECULIAR AND UNIQUE STYLE TO HANDLE DIFFICULT THINGS IN THE MOST SIMPLE MANNER, REVEALING THE HARSH AND HARD CORES OF TRUTHS IN A VERY EASY STYLE, UNTANGLING THE KNOTS SMOOTHLY YET FIRMLY AND SUCCESSFULLY. THE SUCCESS OF HIS STORIES LIES IN THE SELECTION OF THE MOMENTS. THESE SAME MOMENTS ARE WITNESSED BY MANY BUT IT TAKES A VERY SENSITIVE MIND TO PUT THEM INTO WORDS, NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT ONLY VA PU HAS THE CAPACITY, HE GIVES SUCH STRENGTH AND DIMENSIONS TO THESE MOMENTS THAT THEY GLOW IN THEMSELVES, THEY MAKE US THINK, INSPECT OURSELVES, CONTEMPLATE OVER THEM. IT IS HIS STYLE AND FRESHNESS WITH WHICH HE SEES LIFE, HIS HOPEFUL AND MAGNANIMOUSNESS WHICH MAKES EACH STORY A UNIQUE PIECE OF LIFE DAWDLING IN OUR MINDS HOURS LATER.

I REACH HOME AT 11 IN THE NIGHT; URMILA GREETS ME IN THE MOST SIMPLE STYLE AND SAYS, "OH! HOW TIRED YOU ARE`. THIS IS WHAT KEEPS ME GOING. HER WORDS AND GESTURE MAKE ME FORGET MY TIREDNESS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. I GET MORE ENERGETIC. I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW IMPORTANT THIS SIMPLE SENTENCE IS. WHEN YOUR WIFE IS VERY MUCH TIRED AFTER COOKING A LARGE MEAL FOR MANY GUESTS SHE ALSO NEEDS ONLY ONE SENTENCE FROM HER HUSBAND, JUST LIKE THE HUSBAND WHO RETURNS HOME AFTER A VERY BUSY AND ESPECIALLY TIRING DAY. WE HAVE PROBLEMS, WE TRY TO FIND OUT THE ANSWERS SOMEWHERE ELSE, BUT CANNOT FIND IT. THE ANSWER LIES WITHIN US. THE SECOND SIDE OF THE PROBLEM IS ACTUALLY THE ANSWER, WE JUST NEED TO REVERSE OUR DIRECTION. WHY IS THAT EACH AND EVERY STORY BY VA PU IMPRESSES US EQUALLY? WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT IT? THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE. VA PU SEES THE THINGS WHICH WE FAIL TO SEE, HE EXPERIENCES IN A WAY WE NEVER THINK. THE SORROWS, HAPPINESS, MOMENTS OF PAIN AND JOY, THE STRUGGLE IN THE BUSY SCHEDULE DAY AFTER DAY, THE VARIOUS DILEMMAS AT THE JOB, THE PREDICAMENTS, THE PROBLEMS IN SEX LIFE, EGO, INSULTS AND MANY SUCH THINGS KEEP ON HAPPENING ALL AROUND US. BUT IT TAKES A VERY SENSITIVE MIND LIKE VA PU`S TO SENSE ALL THIS, TO GO THROUGH IT AS IF OUR OWN, TO PUT IT DOWN IN WORDS, AND TO PRESENT THE BEST PICTURE BEFORE US. HE FINDS SOME SORT OF POSITIVE APPROACH IN EACH PROBLEM. HE WIDENS OUR HORIZONS, HE MAKES US MORE SANGUINE TOWARDS LIFE, HE IS THE FRIEND, GUIDE AND PHILOSOPHER IN EVERYONE`S LIFE. HE HAS OPTED A SPECIAL STYLE FOR THE DIALOGUES IN THIS PRESENT BOOK `SANVADINI`, AS THE NAME SUGGESTS.
