Description

A child grows with mother's love Also with its reverse. The sun nurtures trees and flowers The moon is equal nurse Thus do things grow and thrive In this our universe. The evening prayers in the ashram are over and the village is still. Cowbells tinkle sweetly in the distance. The residents of the ashram sit in a circle, their eyes fixed on Shyam, who has promised them a story as sweet as lemon syrup. And so Shyam begins. While on some evenings he tells them of his boyhood days, surrounded by the abundant beauty of the Konkan, on others he recalls growing up poor, embarrassed by the state of his family's affairs. But at the heart of each story is his Aai-her words and lessons. He reminisces of the day his mother showed him the importance of honesty and the time she went hungry just so her children could eat a full meal. Shyam renders his listeners and readers speechless with the heartfelt memories of a remarkable woman, his Aai. Narrated over the course of forty-two nights, Shyamchi Aai is a poignant story of Shyam and Aai, a mother with an unbreakable spirit. This evergreen classic, now translated by the incomparable Shanta Gokhale, is an account of a life of poverty, hard work, sacrifice and love. A child grows with mother's love Also with its reverse.
