Blurb for BHULA HUA SA YAAD KUCH
Blurb for BHULA HUA SA YAAD KUCH
Men who are truly
great, in particular if they are artists, often find themselves at odds
with this world, and sadly enough, this world knows the art of doing away with
its artists, while it loves to live on with their art. A man thinks of suicide
only when he finds any compromise with life impossible and, men of conviction
do not compromise. Vincent Van Gogh was a great artist, who remained unknown in
his life time, but ‘shot’ into fame after his suicide. Anurag, a celebrated
Indian poet, whose poetry is imbued with spiritualism and mysticism, in his
Hindi work ‘Bhula Hua Sa Yaad Kuch’ records the emotional upheavals and the
mental condition of Van Gogh in the last three days of his life, based on his
breathtaking research to reach the truth by accessing diverse sources including
Holland Embassy in search of information about the great artist. The book
‘Bhula Hua Sa Yaad Kuch‘ is a commendable work of Hindi literature which brings
to Indian readers the paradoxes which finally claim the life of a great artist.
Dr. Rajni Chhabra, who is a trusted name in the field of translation, has
transverted the book under the title ‘Recollecting Obliterated’. It is a
brilliant piece of translation which succeeds in retaining the soul of the
original poetry while donning the English dress. I congratulate Anurag Ji and
Dr. Rajni Chhabra for this work of great literary merit which I am sure will
create its own history and prove a great addition to the literature of
translation.
