Product Highlights
अनुवादाच्या क्षेत्रात उमातार्इंचा अनुभव खूपच दांडगा आहे. लग्नापर्यंतचा काळ बेळगावात गेल्याने कन्नड भाषा कळत होती, मात्र ती त्यांची बोली भाषा नव्हती. पती विरुपाक्ष मात्र कन्नड बोलणारेच होते. त्यांच्या नोकरीमुळे लग्नानंतर पुण्याच्या वास्तव्यात मित्र परिवारात सकाळ -संध्याकाळ फिरणे, बाहेर जेवणखाण आणि आपसात भरपूर गप्पा, हाच उद्योग होता. या वेळी एकमेकांच्या साहित्यप्रेमाची ओळख पटली. त्याच वेळी कन्नड साहित्यातील शिवराम कारंतांच्या कादंबरीला तिसरा ज्ञानपीठ पुरस्कार मिळाला. मराठी साहित्यापेक्षा कन्नड भाषेत निराळे काय आहे, याविषयी त्यांना औत्सुक्य होते. विरुपाक्षांनी कारंतांची ही कादंबरी वाचण्यासाठी मागवून घेतली, व त्यातील आशय जमेल तसा उमातार्इंना ते सांगू लागले. सहजच उमाताई त्याचं भाषांकन मराठीत कागदावर उतरवू लागल्या आणि हाच त्यांच्याकडून घडलेला पहिला अनुवाद. लहानपणच्या बेळगावातील वास्तव्याविषयी, तसेच नातेसंबंध, सामाजिक घडामोडी, याविषयीच्या अनुभवाविषयीचे कथन येते. आजूबाजूचा परिसर, मित्रमंडळी यांच्या प्रेमळ आठवणी, थोर साहित्यिकांच्या सहवासाचा, त्यांच्या स्वभावाचा समृद्ध करणारा अनुभवही कधी मिस्कीलतेने, कधी गंभीर भाष्य करून त्या सांगतात. आयुष्यात त्यांना भेटलेल्या विविध व्यक्तिरेखांच्या सवयी, स्वभाव बारकाईने सांगून त्यांची आपल्याशीही सहज भेट घडवतात. यात साहित्यिक लेखन, खाद्य पदार्थांची देवाणघेवाण, त्यांचा चित्रकलेचा छंद, नवीन गोष्ट शिकणे या सगळ्याची ओळख होते. नेहमीच्याच ओघवत्या शैलीतील हे वर्णन कन्नड संस्कृतीशी जोडून घेणारे, वाचकांना पुस्तकाशी गट्टी करायला लावणारे आहे. लेखिकेने आयुष्याच्या पूर्वार्धातील बेळगावातील वास्तव्याविषयी, नातेसंबंधांविषयी, सामाजिक घडामोडींविषयीचे कथन; तसेच, आजूबाजूचा परिसर, मित्रमंडळी यांच्या प्रेमळ आठवणी, थोर साहित्यिकांच्या सहवासाचा, त्यांच्या स्वभावाच्या समृद्ध करणाऱ्या अनुभवाविषयी केलेले मिस्कील, तर कधी गंभीरही भाष्य.
