Pankaj Mitra reciting a story

This program named ‘Pankaj Mitra’s story lesson and conversation on his work’, on Saturday A.N. Held in the college. The story of famous storyteller Pankaj Mitra began in an anecdotal manner. Pankaj Mitra started the story ‘Dastaan ​​Ek Chintu Pintu’ in this way – ‘So Hajarin, I present the story of two friends. These friends were not the kind of friends about whom Chacha Ghalib used to say that what kind of friendship is this that Naseh has become a friend, someone would have been a charasaz, someone would have been a gamgusar. Pankaj Mitra also takes the support of those poems in the story which you must have seen written on the back of an auto or bus. They also bring such lions which belong to Ghalib, belong to Firaq. Pankaj keeps the reader engaged from the beginning till the end, the reader’s ears are on edge, he is convinced of the ups and downs of his words and his beautiful selection. The mother-aunt relationship between Hindi and Urdu is also very visible in this story. Pankaj’s story telling style was so fluent and immersive that when he finished ‘Dastan e Chintu Pintu’, there was so much sweat on his forehead that it had to be wiped with a handkerchief in this cold. On the other hand, there was satisfaction in the listeners that they heard the story in a story-telling manner for days. This event was organized by Samanvay. Everyone appreciated the craft of the story. The end of the story is that- ‘Wazir Sahib garlanded and said in the speech that a lot of injustice has happened in the last seventy years, but not now. Now the time has come to settle all accounts. What was the status of ten to fifteen years behind the huge mound of seventy years….. Only three things could not be disclosed – One was that who was the one who used to come to that woman’s house every night. . It is speculated that he must have been her husband. After this incident, that woman also disappeared overnight – no one knows when and how, anyway, politics is licked by the blood of such pawns. What is their status? Secondly, who fired the bullet and thirdly, the meat was really being cooked in the pan and if it was meat, was it really that of the elder.’
