About this ebook

This is a collection of stories based on famous historical figures. The name indicates that this is a set of stories having it`s own fragrance. In the beginning the author admits that ‘Words have no fragrance. They have only meanings. But a combination of many words present a person and the atmosphere May be after reading these stories reader will feel the fragrance too then it will give me immense satisfaction.` The author shows his confidence and faith in the readers. All the stories in ‘Gandhali` are based on the lives of famous personalities and the incidences from the past. He has slected each one carefully. Each story is a homogenous mixture of valour, compassion and romance. Each one reflects the author`s command over language and takes the reader to the history itself. The success of ‘Gandhali` is intense on the background of novels from the same author, based on historical figures.
"प्रेम आणि वेदना यांच्यातलं नातं जणू पाठीला पाठ लावून जन्माला आलेल्या जुळ्या भावंडांसारखं असतं. हे आशयसूत्र या संग्रहातल्या कथांच्या माध्यमातून उलगडतं. यात प्रेमासाठी सर्वस्व पणाला लावणारे मेहरुन्निसा आणि सलीम आहेत, बाजीरावांच्या मृत्यूने विष प्राशन करणारी मस्तानी आहे, तर बंदेअलीच्या जीवनाचा सूर असलेली प्राणप्रिय पत्नी चुन्ना निवर्तल्यावर वेदनेने पिळवटलेला अस्सल कलावंत आहे. सती झालेली; पण जाता-जाता इतरांची आयुष्यं उजळणारी पुतळाबाई आहे, तर स्नेहाने मुत्सद्द्यांची हृदयं जिंकणारी, बुद्धिमान कलावंतीण माहेलका आहे.
या कथांमधून प्रेेमाचे वेगवेगळे पोत रणजित देसाई आपल्यापुढे ठेवतात. सगळ्या कथांचा बाज हा ऐतिहासिक असला, तरी त्यातल्या भावभावना मात्र कालातीत आहे.
’रोमँटिक’ जातकुळीच्या या कथा व्याकूळ करतात. यातली तपशिलांची, थेट वर्णनात्मक शैली मनाचा ठाव घेते.
