EARLY TIMES REPORT

JAMMU, June 27: In the ongoing series of programmes by Dogri Sanstha Jammu to showcase the outstanding works of veteran Dogri writers who are no more with us, an online program was organised today, in which the short stories of Prof Ram Nath Shastri and Ratan Kesar were recited by Krishna Sharma and Deepak Kumar, a senior short story writer and a well known theatre personality, respectively.
Prof LalitMagotra, President Dogri Sanstha Jammu, while welcoming the viewers, said that the new generation deserves to be exposed to the magic of the creative genius of the earlier generation by retelling the stories, which were penned down more than half a century back. This will help them to reconnect to their roots and instill a sense of pride for their mother tongue and the literature created in it.
The story 'Hoar kai kardi' of Prof. Ram NathShastri narrated by Krishna Sharma portrayed the agony of a young damsel, who is being married to a person twice her age. In those bygone days this was a common occurrence due to the difficult financial condition of the girl's household. But in the story, the protagonist revolts against social injustice. This powerful story was recited by Krishna Sharma in a professional manner bringing out the fine nuances of the narrative.
Deepak Kumar presented the story 'Kheerla Guldasta' by Ratan Kesar, which is a touching tale of an old person who is emotionally attached to old artifacts in his home with which his memories are associated. On the other hand these artifacts appear to be useless junk, worth throwing away to the other members of the family.
Deepak Kumar, with his theatre background read the story creating a dramatic spell.
Going by the comments received from the viewers, the stories were immensely liked by all. The technical support to the online program was provided by Pawan Verma.
