  • About

If I told this story in Kanupriya's words, I would have spent my entire life writing it without being able to complete it. Some stories are never completed. Kanupriya has forgotten her hunger and dignity. How did house no. 627 turned her into Babu Ma’am?

A lot has been left in this story, but I have tried to cover a lot. In exactly the same way as Kanupriya still asks Ganga Maa at the Ganga ghat today, what was her fault?

Along with her tears, the waves of the Ganges rise and fall and a musical voice is heard, "Kanupriya come in my water and drain everything." Kanupriya descends into the water and drains all those names with filling water in both hands; Both souls and bodies will dance in these waves of Ganga, Expansion as well as summary of life lies here, Karma and fate both are dancing together, Still the mind is in the bond of the ramparts.

She bubbles these lines and then bends in water to say something to Ganga. Sitting in wet clothes on the ghat, she watches the waves of the Ganga fall and rise with wet eyes and this sequence of Kanupriya continues even today.

Jhanvi Reader

Worth a read - Sudha Sikrawar's Babu Ma'am ki Vaha Doosri Gali is an amazing piece of art and imagination. It is such a gripping and realistic read. The author relates the tale of Kanupriya, a self-sufficient, single working woman who meets a family with a questionable past while looking for a rental home of her choice. Simple writing style that reads more like contemporary literature. Here, the author imagined a world of her own and used some hypothetical situations to express her ideas, which were extremely fascinating to read. The book's language is quite straightforward and simple to understand. Author skillfully addressed some of the unsaid aspects of society without causing a stir, and those points will stick in your mind for a while. Overall it's a worthy read.
