Pune: A poet has the power to look into the inner heart of a human being. Poetry from the heart gives inspiration to live. Vishwa Karunya and Trikal Satya are seen in F. M. Shinde’s poems. His poetry is a reflection of human life, as appreciated by Bharat Sasane, a veteran story writer-novelist and former president of Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan.
He was addressing the gathering at an unveiling ceremony of Trikal, a poetic book written by famous poet FM Shinde, at Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pimpri. Dr. P. D. Patil, Chancellor of Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, unveiled the book. F. M. Shinde, his wife Leela, poet Ramdas Phutane, Prof. Milind Joshi, critic Dr. Ramesh Warkhede, Dr. Rajshekhar Shinde, and Amruta Tandale of New Era were present on the occasion. The program was organized by Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth in association with New Era Publishing House.
Dr. P. D. Patil congratulated Shinde on his new book. He said that Shinde has made an incomparable contribution to the field of Marathi literature. His poem ‘Aai’, which describes a mother, has overwhelmed everyone. He is a socially conscious poet who connects the common man, the farmer, and the laborer. These poems of conceptual and contemplative nature are enlightening to society and make the lovers introspect.
Shinde presented a few poems, along with famous poems on AAI, from his book. He said a poet should express the sentiments of society in words. An attempt has been made to capture the observations, various incidents, and events experienced in life through ‘Trikal’. A poem is part of a contract between the reader and the poet.
Ramdas Phutane mentioned that Dr. P. D. Patil consistently supports the literature. He is working to take the literature to a higher level. Shinde has mischievousness in his speech and sensitivity in his heart. Today’s politics have become so strange that it is a matter of whether writers should speak or not. Poets and writers should express their opinions fearlessly.
Dr. Rajshekhar Shinde and Dr. Ramesh Warkhede criticize the Trikal. They mentioned that poems of this nature present the reality of living. These are poems that give direction to society. Shinde is a great poet.
Prof. Milind Joshi also appreciated the contribution of Shinde. Amruta Tandale gave the opening remarks. Prof. Pratima Chavan compared the program.
