(Review of Garhwali Story Collection ‘Joni Par Chhapu Kiali?’
(1967) written by Mohan Lal Negi)
Garhwali story ‘Mamakot’ of story collection ‘Joni Par Chhapu Kiali?’ by Mohan Lal
Negi is about two children Javaru and Surutu. Javaru and Surutu are great
friends in the village. They roam together in forest, water source, collect flowers
etc. They were waiting school result that in holiday they can visit their Mamakot (mother’s parent’s village).
Surutu did not pass the exam and does not visit his Mamakot. However, Javaru ia
able to visit his Mamakot. There in ‘Mamakot’,
Javru saw many things and ate many eatables. However, there he did not see pine
fruit (Chhyunti). The story deals again even after getting many things; even
after getting new knowledge; there is something left to attain. The story
telling style is very simple and no surprise or twist in the tail. The story is
able to depict children curiosity and enthusiasm for newer adventure and then
frustration for not getting what others have.
The
phrases are according to time, place and class of characters.
