Small talk

Verse by verse
Keeping an enthralling connect of rhymes to the feelings of the common man, Sandeep Khare’s poetic edition Maunachi Bhashantare has been quite popular. Back with his second book of poems titled Nenivachi Akshare, Khare will be launching the collection at a special program on Saturday, November 29 at the Ganesh Kala Krida Rangmanch. While veteran musician and singer Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar will release the book, Continental Prakashan will be publishing it. Elaborating on the book, Devayani Abhyankar, Director of Continental Prakashan said, “Though the price of this book is Rs 120, it will be offered at a discounted price at the function.” Talking about the programme, she added, “The function will be presided over by litterateur Professor R G Jadhav, with Professor Arun Nulkar compering the event.”
