Commentary As Books मधुशाला

The translation probably will spoil even the title - wine-house? Unlike most other poems that are on a single theme and used a large number of motifs to give a single message, this contains 139 messages (a message for each stanzas) including themes like seasons, life, existional crises, aging, death, hedonism, hopefulness, desperation, religion, caste, class, politics, the alcohal itself, the stanzas themselves etc and it is only motifs that stay same - Madhushala (alcohal shop -hindi word 'madhur' means sweet and has a sweet sound to it), Saki (female cupbearer - sort of like waitress only the original word is much more sensual), pyala (cup), Halalhal (a sort of poison) etc. None of those words translate as beautifully as far as I know, it must be fun to try an English translation.

Article Containing Books मधुशाला

*Ramblings of an amateur reviewer, high on madakta:I wonder if one can ever truly enjoy literature in a language other than his mother tongue. I have read a number of poems before in English, poems unanimously (almost) deemed great, and I did enjoy them, but irrespective of their theme or rhythm or anything, they don't come anywhere near this. Hold back your arms, ardent worshippers of Keats and Pushkin, my intent is not to posit that it is better than any of those globally deified poems and yes

The Best

Simply entertaining and meaningful at the same time. It's all about the goodness of the Madhushala i.e. drinking bar. Really liked it.

the best poetic description of all colours of life.

Great poetry.Going through different stages of life including love, belief system, humanity etc. through the lens of a madhushala(a bar).Its not a story, its a philosophy of life, portrayed though beautiful poetry.

Must read for all poetry lovers!To have had conceived the idea of comparing a Madhushala with the entire embodiment of ones existence, was in itself brilliant, and this piece of poetry is sheer brilliance! Mr. Bacchan brings together people of all caste, religion and status together through this legendary piece. I was transported to a dreamland where we knew no such man made boundaries, and were liberated in the truest sense.धरम-गरंथ सब जला चुकी है, जिसके अनतर की जवाला,मंदिर, मसजिद, गिरजे, सबको

This appeals to novice poetry readers as well as veterans. The simplicity with which the verses are strewn along haala, pyaala, saakibala and madhushala are bound to set you in a trance.I read it in parts in the last couple of days, and re-read it in a single sitting today as recommended by the author, and such is the magic that I'm craving for more now....कया कहता है, रह न गई अब तेरे भाजन में हाला,कया कहता है, अब न चलेगी मादक पयालों की माला,थोडी पीकर पयास बढी तो शेष नहीं कुछ पीने को,पयास बुझाने
