It is a memory of unrestrained laughter: Most summer evenings, Mum and I would sit on wicker chairs on the porch of our house, and she would read out her favourite bits of Pu La Deshpande\u2019s books to me. At the age of 12 or so, and not possessed of a strong Marathi vocabulary, my interest was in the slapstick.\n\nOne of my favourite passages was a vivid description of a bus journey in the hinterlands of the Konkan region, where the protagonist and the driver are the only two people awake. The other passengers are in the throes of the most comical sleep: Some can \u201ctaste\u201d their sleep with smacking noises, some \u201cswallow\u201d it with loud gulps, some nodding away only to jerk awake in embarrassment, their eyes all criss-cross before shutting once again. And then comes a yell, \u201cmhaiis mhaiis mhaiis!\u201d (buffalo) and with a grating indescribable noise, the driver steps violently on the brake. In the process, the bus\u2019s 50 odd passengers along with numerous bags, holdalls, jackfruits, mangoes and sundry items leave their assigned places.\n\nThese were bits that my mother would act out and send me into peals of laughter \u2013 this was my first introduction to some of Pu La\u2019s funniest works like Batatyachi Chal<\/em>, Vyakti ani Valli<\/em>, and Asa Mi Asami<\/em>. In my mind\u2019s eye, my mum\u2019s dramatic readings rivalled PL Deshpande\u2019s own.\n\n

Most summer evenings, Mum would read out her favourite bits of Pu La Deshpande\u2019s books to me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\nPurushottam Laxman Deshpande, lovingly called Pu La by his fans, was a Marathi author and playwright. He was also a stage and film actor, singer, harmonium player, director and perhaps one of the first stand-up artists in India. He often did dramatic readings of his books, and oh what a treat they were! Pu La, in his inimitable way, brought to life the voices of his characters, right from the Konkan-tinged Marathi of a villager to the stereotypical Hindi-Gujarati of a Parsi gentleman.\n\nFast forward to now. Being locked down at home almost feels like the summer vacation again. Just the other evening, my mum picked up our much-battered copy of Asa Mi Asami<\/em> and began reading aloud some snippets for me. My two-year-old immediately took offence and insisted that she read him the Gruffalo instead. That\u2019s when it struck me \u2013 even at 30, I hadn\u2019t sat down to read a single Pu La Deshpande book on my own. I\u2019ve always consumed all that wonderful humor piecemeal and it was time to remedy that. So I did, and it\u2019s the best thing I did during the lockdown. Despite being a rather slow Marathi reader and my familiarity with most of the contents, I immensely enjoyed the book.\n\nLanguage, and what he was able to achieve with it, remains a hallmark of Pu La\u2019s writing. His metaphors and similes rival only those of\u00a0 the English writer PG Wodehouse. Sample this little gem from Asa Mi Asami<\/em>: \u201cNanu cha chehra chutneet padlelya bhajyasarkha zhala hota\u201d (Nanu\u2019s face deflated like a bhajiya drowned in chutney). Here\u2019s another about the protagonist\u2019s father who worked his entire life at the post office: \u201cChikatle mhanje kay, pakitala shtamp chiktawa tase chikatle.\u201d (He attached himself to the post office like the stamp on an envelope).\n\nJust like Wodehouse, Pu La Deshpande\u2019s forte was to spread \u201csweetness and light\u201d. While Wodehouse took the opulent life of the peers and turned it into an irreverently funny joyfest, Pu La took what he was most familiar with – the mundane life of a common man and infused it with honest laughter. For instance, in Asa Mi Asami<\/em>, the protagonist talks about a visit to his wife\u2019s distant aunt which swiftly turns into an hour of frantic searching under the hot afternoon sun, for \u201cMahatma Gandhi or Nehru or Malviya or some such road\u201d, the name of which his wife has forgotten and where the aunt supposedly lives. On the way the eldest child keeps hurtling across the busy street like \u201cleaves blown by the wind\u201d, complains of thirst whenever he catches sight of a restaurant and makes a general nuisance of himself. Despite his wife\u2019s aversion to asking for directions, they finally reach the aunt\u2019s house… only to find it locked. Further investigation makes it clear that the aunt was, in fact, on her way to visit the protagonist\u2019s family.\n\n

Pu La, in his inimitable way, brought to life the voices of his characters.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\nHis books depict a slice of middle-class Maharashtrian life from the \u201940s and \u201950s, a time and place quite different from modern India, which continue to be relatable, even for millennials.\n\nTake for instance chawl life, which is so wonderfully described that even those who have grown up in high-rises will find something to connect with. When one of the aunties of the chawl picks up knitting, all the others just have to follow suit. A number of DIY trends follow: making beaded moneybags, dolls out of rags. Who is thinking of Dalgona coffee and sourdough bread?\n\nWhich is why his characters appear to be people we have met ourselves or those we have encountered in our grandparents\u2019 reminiscences. There\u2019s the inimitable Namu Parit, the dhobi with a questionable moral code who pretends to lose the clothes entrusted to him, only to return them when soundly threatened. Or Sakharam Gatne, the quintessential bookworm, who lives in his books so much that he speaks like he\u2019s in a book himself.\n\n

Pu La\u2019s metaphors and similes rival only those of the English writer PG Wodehouse.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\nAnother theme in Asa Mi Asami<\/em>, is the constant battle between tradition and modernity. Unlike other authors, Pu La offers no judgment, his characters simply understand and accept change as inevitable. And so the middle-class clerk watches stoically as the Tulsi in his house is replaced by an ornamental cactus, and his dhoti is replaced by a pair of trousers. When his son starts calling him \u201cfather\u201d instead of \u201cBaba\u201d, he is perturbed but soon makes the best of it. His characters are nothing if not adaptable and resilient. They embody the true spirit of middle-class India: To work hard, work well, and make the best of whatever curve-balls life throws at them.\n\nWhich makes me wonder what Pu La would have had to say about the Covid-19 pandemic, a curve-ball if ever there was one. If I had to guess, he would probably come up with a host of new characters sketches \u2013 perhaps a #MinnieBakes character who lives for her Instagram feed of lockdown cakes and bakes; a \u201cLockdown Yoga\u201d character forever clad in trendy exercise gear; the \u201cReporter\u201d uncle who has taken it upon himself to send spurious \u201cnews\u201d to his WhatsApp groups. But there would also be the hero, a common man juggling between work-from-home, two kids, and possible unemployment.\n\nIn the end however, Pu La would have had his common man count his blessings and look for happiness in the joy of everyday life. In Asa Mi Asami<\/em>, it is about coming home to kids who flamboyantly recite a new Hindi film song for him, while in Covid-19 life, it would be a quiet Sunday spent with the family playing Scrabble. The little joys of life \u2013 like good cheer and laughter \u2013 are for all of us. For Pu La has taught us to laugh even when there\u2019s nothing much to laugh about.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
