Dureghi takes you to the place where you built forts in front-yard, finished your homework hurriedly to go play with your gully-gang, where your dreams saw no ceiling and you knew you could fly by just wearing a cape. The place where you slept in Grandma’s lap listening to all amazing tales. Dureghi has a sense of nostalgia and is a reminder of simpler times where our world was full of imagination. It is that first letter you wrote in those two lines which became a start of the story.
I wish to call myself a passionate writer because I know when I start talking about it, there is no stopping me! I have been told, that my eyes light up when I talk about my stories, characters or in general about writing. Though I am a mainstream mechanical engineer by profession, I figured my love for storytelling when I wrote a well-received play “Anvay” for ‘Purushottam Karandak’. After college, I wrote many short stories, a few commercial plays and short films, but I realized that these stories could mean something to someone when I unfolded this Blog Series – ‘Soni, Baba, ani ChaalisPora’ – I received encouraging feedback from many strangers and keep receiving it. My short stories started doing well on websites like ‘Pratilipi’ and ‘Quora.’
After the series, I commenced another blog, because I cannot keep myself from writing. I see people and wonder what their stories could be. I see these characters and think about what would happen if I put them into these situations. I grew up in a family which loves sharing anecdotes, I slept in my grandma’s lap listening to stories of Mahabharata and Ramayana. I think that’s where it all started. It began when I started tracing those letters ‘Ga, Ma, Bha, Na’ in between those two lines. Hence the name – Dureghi. After writing for many years with long gaps in between, I accidentally met with wonderful people Vasanti and Manoj Mulajkar. And with their initiative, this Website came to its shape.

Apart from writing, I love to watch Animated Movies, ‘cause they are made with and for pure hearts. I am fond of good content, intelligent writing and direction in Sitcoms, TV series and good movies. I prefer to read Marathi literature and write in Marathi as this language has a special place in the heart. I can read Pu.La. and G.A. again and again, because these great people have been an inspiration for me.
