"Since January, each night before bed, I had continued to eat, for the sake of Mr Pirzada's family, a piece of candy I had saved from Halloween. That night there was no need to. Eventually I threw them away." ~ (What's your favourite Halloween candy? Rockets 💯 ) ~ #happyhalloween #halloweencandy #interpreterofmaladies #jhumpalahiri #foodinbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CG-PZplgZ_n/?igshid=1jzv94a62snvg
তাঁর প্রথমজীবনে লেখা ছোটগল্পগুলি বহুকাল পর্যন্ত বাক্সবন্দীই হয়েছিল কারণ প্রকাশকদের প্রত্যাখ্যান। শেষ পর্যন্ত ১৯৯৯ সালে যখন তাঁর প্রথম ছোটগল্প সংকলন 'Interpreter of Melodies' প্রকাশনার আলো দেখল, প্রথমেই বাজিমাত। সমালোচকদের প্রশংসা, ছয়লক্ষ কপির নিঃশেষে নিমেষ হয়ে যাওয়া তো ছিলই, সঙ্গে এল বিশ্ব- সাহিত্যের অঙ্গনে অন্যতম অভিজাত পুলিৎজার পুরস্কার, ২০০০ সালে। সমগ্র বিশ্বের ইতিহাসে এই গল্পসংকলনটি হল সপ্তম গ্রন্থ যেটি পুলিৎজারে সম্মানিত হয়। এরপর ২০০৩-এ প্রকাশিত হল ঝুম্পা লাহিড়ীর প্রথম উপন্যাস, জগদ্বন্দিত 'The Namesake'। আজ ঝুম্পা লাহিড়ীর জন্মদিন... বিস্তারিত জানতে ক্লিক করুন লিঙ্কে। লিঙ্ক প্রোফাইল বায়োতে.... #jhumpalahiri #writer #BirthAnniversary #interpreterofmaladies #thenamesake #journeyoflife #newsportal #WebPortal #news #DigitalMedia #ঝুম্পালাহিড়ী https://www.instagram.com/p/CCflsCOJlb1/?igshid=g51bm8vgiteb

"In the end I bought a small carton of milk and a box of cornflakes. This was my first meal in America. I ate it at my desk. [...] In a week I had adjusted, more or less. I ate cornflakes and milk, morning and night, and bought some bananas for variety, slicing them into the bowl with the edge of my spoon." ~ #cornflakes #interpreterofmaladies #jhumpalahiri #foodinbooks #pulitzerprize https://www.instagram.com/p/B2B9e0xgltn/?igshid=1t6k5ziqeorjl
"She was ruminating on these things as she swept the stairwell—she always work from top to bottom—when it started to rain. It came slapping across the roof like a boy in slippers too big for him and washed Mrs. Dalal's lemon peels into the gutter." ~ #rain #lemonpeels #interpreterofmaladies #jhumpalahiri #foodinbooks #pulizerprize https://www.instagram.com/p/B1_nslMg83x/?igshid=jtxu4jxnmy0v
I was having a dreamy conversation with an old friend once. I told them that one day they’ll find repose. ( Sad-ish dreamy) And in as much as there might remain remnants of overgrown sadness, there will be a smile, albeit tired, but a smile with honesty they’d never before known. ⠀ ⠀ That phrase - remnants of overgrown sadness - stuck with me. As did Jhumpa, and her debut book, Pulitzer Prize winner - 2000 Interpreter of Maladies. ⠀ ⠀ She fills in silences you’ve always felt but have never known what to do with them. The voids that life’s happenings leave on you. Some small, others gaping. Some loud, others creep on you so stealthily you barely notice but with a presence so loud. A failing father projecting his fears to his children. The thin line between pain and guilt. A once happy family crumbling slowly into misery’s pits. Silent dinners, with the cutlery clinks doing the most talking. The ache of having to put up social media fronts when your insides are guttered down and all you want to do is tear yourself up. The contradictions and complexities of our daily lives. ⠀ ⠀ Jhumpa finds the language for it all, and weaves it into short, lyrical sentences that will break your heart. But it will hurt so good. So so good. And you’ll want her to do it again. And again. ⠀ ⠀ So obviously your next read will be the novel she wrote after that, The Namesake. ⠀ ⠀ *⠀ I listened to a couple of interviews on YouTube that she’s done and she describes the book as being about the immigrant experience, the giving and taking between generations and the feeling of being displaced. Which reminded me of my own living experience of being a tad distant from my roots, the complexities of belonging to different cities, or none at all, even. Of not belonging. Which is something I want to explore further. ⠀ *⠀ Also, fun fact! Got my copy from the inama bookstore outside Tuskys Beba Beba for only 100bob (1$) and it originally belonged to Emily Peña. Well, thanks Emily! And wouldn’t it be so great if Emily learnt of the whereabouts of her books new home? #writerscommunity #bibliophile #kenyanbibliophile #interpreterofmaladies #jhumpalahiri https://www.instagram.com/p/BsBc-AqA2L-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u8ypxwsvkdlx
