I was born after the emergency days, so I do not know how the situation was, back then. It’s a beautifully written novel which takes you back to your school days, you just roll on the years gone by and you become a part of the story itself. It’s a story of a young boy Mukund Joshi, his friends, and of Shirodkar – his love interest. Shala is a beautiful story of a group of children that study in class 9th. While reading, it was clear that Vikrant Pande had made word to word translation of the Marathi version. I had loved the movie, and so had great expectations from the book also. I had seen a movie of the same name made on this book written by Milind Bokil. So, my dream of viewing a Marathi book on Kindle remained a dream. To my surprise, when this book arrived, I came to know that I had ordered an english translation of the book, by Vikrant Pande. So I downloaded the book after buying it.

I wanted to see how a Marathi book looks & feels on my Kindle. So I searched the site and came up with this Marathi book “Shala” written by Milind Bokil. I wanted to put this Rs.250 to proper use. Just then, I received an email from Amazon that they were pleased to offer me a Rs.250 promotion code to buy Kindle eBooks on Amazon. Why does Kindle not have Marathi as a language, Why don’t I see Marathi ebooks on Amazon, and why there is no Marathi thesaurus and dictionary in Kindle. Well Kindle was the answer to this.īut still, a string of thoughts were continuously pestering me. They may be using recycled paper for printing books, but still, isn’t there a better solution to this problem. No need to use (waste) paper and print out copies after copies, thinking that all these will be sold one day. I am in love with the idea of getting to read a book in a font I like. There is a story behind how I got this book.
