On 1st January 2019,We had a guest lecture of
Dr.Vishal Bhadani. He talked on his collection of short stories entitled 'Fictionalay' and
its significance in the common people's life.Vishal Sir read his two stories
and also given tips to write short stories or any work.
I had read three short stories of 'Fictionalay 'that is 'Mara Hath ni wat nthi ','Sansi ane Ranjana ' and 'Museum of innocence '.All these stories are connected with middle class people.
● Mara Hath ni wat nthi :-
In this story the writer covers all basic things but the title itself challenging. Author connects problems of society with the different parts of hands.Like Plam, Finger, thumb etc.He connects various parts of hands with different things like ,Buddha, Lord Vishnu,Goddess Laxmi, Vasco Di Gama etc.This way author uses lots of symbol in his work.
● Museum of Innocence :-
The Title represents the modern world.But the reality is different .The story is totally contrasted with the title.The story is about villagers.There is one letter from Istanbul pass to the village.In this letter Istanbul is asking for innocent thing for the new ' Museum of innocence '. All villagers become curious that which innocent thing they will send to Istanbul. After so many discussion when they didn't get answer from anyone than they called old Kadvi Doshi.
She spoke only satiric language That's why here her name used as a symbol.After so many thinking she find solution and send fruit of Banayan Tree.
According to Kadvi Doshi, from many years people used to sit under Banayan tree and it still standing there without any complaint and giving shadow to other.These all reasons which seems silly to us but carries deeper meaning.
In this way two short stories can be interpreted in many ways as possible. We also remember that author believe in Back to nature.And that's why his setting of the stories are village side.

Translation :-
After the session of short stories we have Translation session
in which Vishal Sir spoke about the job opportunities in the field of
Translation. Translation is very tough as well as great work.We had done one
task of translating phrase.
In
this way we get knowledge about how to write short stories and also about
translation.
