Happy Birthday, dear Gauri Deshpande! May your day be as delightful and vibrant as the characters you've brought to life in "Mukkam"—and may you sweep away any lackadaisical moments with the charm of your poetic wit. Your words have danced gracefully between Marathi and English, leaving readers enchanted (and occasionally scratching their heads) for decades.Here's wishing that this year brings even more literary adventures, laughter-filled chapters, and perhaps fewer encounters with lazy sweepers. Keep inspiring us all through your timeless stories; after all these years, you're still our favorite author who effortlessly turns everyday moments into extraordinary tales!
