दुर्गा भागवत: "मला जगण्याचं सुख वाटतं बघ."
(Durga Bhagwat: "I am happy living.")
Today May 7 2012 is 10th death anniversary of Durga Bhagwat (दुर्गा भागवत).
I have not thought of anything new to write on her but just remembering her.
Again, as is typical of Marathi, most of the writing on her is hagiographic but she too had, as always is the case, her faults. Some of them glaring.
Ms. Bhagwat must wait for more rounded biography.
There are at least a dozen posts on this blog referring to her. They can be reached by clicking here.
This bilingual blog - 'आन्याची फाटकी पासोडी' in Marathi- is largely a celebration of visual and/or comic ...तुकाराम: "ढेकणासी बाज गड,उतरचढ केवढी" (Tukaram: For a bedbug a bed is like a castle. so much climbing up and down!)... George Santayana: " Everything in nature is lyrical in its ideal essence, tragic in its fate, and comic in its existence"...William Hazlitt: "Pictures are scattered like stray gifts through the world; and while they remain, earth has yet a little gilding."
