"ON THE SLOPE of the desolate river among tall grasses I asked her, 'Maiden, where do you go shading your lamp with your mantle? My house is all dark and lonesome-lend me your light!' She raised her dark eyes for a moment and looked at my face through the dusk. 'I have come to the river,' she said, 'to float my lamp on the stream when the daylight wanes in the west' I stood alone among tall grasses and watched the timid flame of her lamp uselessly drifting in the tide.
In the silence of gathering night I asked her, 'Maiden, your lights are all lit-then where do you go with your lamp? My house is all dark and lonesome,-lend me your light.' She raised her dark eyes on my face and stood for a moment doubtful. I have come,' she said at last, 'to dedicate my lamp to the sky.' I stood and watched her light uselessly burning in the void.'
In the moonless gloom of midnight I asked her, 'Maiden, what is your quest holding the lamp near your heart? My house is all dark and lonesome,-lend me your light.' She stopped for a minute and thought and gazed at my face in the dark. I have brought my light,' she said, 'to join the carnival of lamps.' I stood and watched her little lamp uselessly lost among lights."
Rabindranath Tagore

Geetanjali Shree's Ret Samadhi brings Hindi literature to the other side
Tumblr media
At the book reading and discussion on 5 July 2022 at the Stein Auditorium at New Delhi's India Habitat Center renowned journalist Poonam Saxena engaged Shree on the characters, themes, and eccentricities of her book Ret Samadhi published by Rajkamal Prakashan in Hindi. The English translation – Tomb of Sand, published by Titled Axis in the UK and Penguin in India, has just won the prestigious award for translations, bringing Hindi and the entire bucket of South Asian languages into the limelight. 
Shree said she hopes Tomb of Sand achieves the recognition that South Asian literature deserves – perhaps creating an opening to the many interesting authors that are writing in its numerous languages and now increasingly finding translation. She then went on to read out a witty and humorous extract from Ret Samadhi allowing the audience to admire and acknowledge the depth and dexterity of her language and work.
Language is an entity by itself
In the conversation with Saxena, Shree explained that she dabbled in theater before taking up writing as a full-time profession and continues to delve into this experience to present her thoughts in her unconventional style. “Language is an entity by itself. It is not something that has to be used as a vehicle to say something. It is the power of language that takes over and makes me write in a certain way,” she said. Playing with words she said helps her unlock new meanings and to think from independent and emerging perspectives.
Ret Samadhi plays with a variety of themes including family dynamics, the partition, mental health, the loss of a loved one, and old age and its associated health issues. The author added that the theme is also about the partitions that emerge in one’s life – “The novel finds its own voice and stories as it goes along, it certainly becomes a novel about partitions, borders, bridges.
While subtly sewing the theme of the partition into the fabric of the novel, Shree challenges the manner in which its brutal realities have been invoked by a previous generation of writers, including the ruthless images evoked by Khushwant Singh’s Train to Pakistan, Amrita Pritam's Pinjar, Bhisham Sahni's Tamas or Saadat Hasan Manto's short stories.
She also paid tribute to her idol and inspiration, the legendary Hindi author Krishna Sobti, who defied the common images of the elderly and was always as fresh as a daisy till her very last days. 
At the conclusion of the hour-long conversation, Shree signed her books and interacted with fans and literary enthusiasts.

hi so this is a request, especially to those who can read hindi fluently
PLEASE READ THE HINDI VERSION OF रेत समाधी (Tomb of Sand) INSTEAD OF THE ENGLISH TRANSLATED ONE
The deman for Hindi novels and literature has seen a steady decline in popularity and demand in the past decade (i myself read my last hindi novel only in 2017), and now with a hindi novel winning the Booker prize for the first ever time, maybe it can help in reviving Hindi literature!
so please please please please read the original hindi version of रेत समाधी if you can read hindi fluently.
