At any given time I will try reading two books. One Kannada and one English. After passing tenth exam I have not been able to catch up with Hindi Literature. But will do it soon. Right now I am reading “Illiralare Alli Hogalare”(meaning neither I can stay here nor I can go there). It’s collection of experiences by B.V.Karanth. I am also reading short stories from Hemingway.
B.V. sir reached level of president of National School of Drama. He started his drama life in Gubbi Veeranna’s company. Gubbi Veeranna’s company has given many great people in the field of acting to Karnataka and India. Gubbi Veeranna was a great mentor. Dr.Raj Kumar (Annavru), Bala Krishna, NaraSimha Raju from this company went on to become legends of Kannada film field. B.V sir went on to head NSD at national level.
The book has beautiful description of the glorious days of Gubbi Veeranna company. The elephants, deers and many other animals were used for coming out with real life like dramas. When the company had to go Andhra Pradesh for play, one train was booked. Nearly six bogeys had animals and remaining the company people.
It’s a must read for fans of theatre and cinema. I am still completing the book. Hemingway won noble prize in literature. His short stories have characters whom you can feel like real. I will write a review once I finish this book.
