Download or read book Aajee Aur Nani Kahanis written by Motilal Boodoosingh and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2023-05-18 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Trees live long after we are gone.’ In a feverish rush in the evening of his years, Motilal Boodoosingh, through his Kahanis series, is engaged in planting fruit trees in the literary landscape of the Caribbean. This book, his fourth on the trot, honours the memory of his Aajee – his paternal grandmother – by documenting some of the folk tales passed on to him through the oral tradition of storytelling. As such, in contrast to the earlier published works, it is overlaid with a strong flavour of Hinduism, but continues to trace the evolution of Indo-Trinidadian history, tradition and culture. The author’s memory of time, place and events is equally amazing, evident in his recall of what growing up was like in the southern rural district of Penal and its environs in the good ole days in Trinidad. There is adventure. There is humour. There is philosophy. Above all, there is sincere appreciation for all of the good things that came his way – documented here in black and white for all posterity. ‘If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.’ – Albert Einstein. At seventy-two, Motilal Boodoosingh is a retired Offshore Production worker. From the energy industry he switched, upon retirement, to the fields of literacy and literature. He holds a BA in Literature and Communications as well as a Certificate in the Teaching of Reading. He also has an Adult Literacy Tutors Certificate. He earned the right to be labelled a Cropper Fellow after he successfully completed in 2016 the Cropper Foundation Residential Workshop for Caribbean Writers. As prolific as his writing is his frenetic involvement in literacy and literary sessions such as the Adult Literacy Tutors Association (ALTA) project of Readings Under the Trees, and the fortnightly zoom sessions of Poetry and Prose. Published in a number of magazines, he is also a regular contributor to the online literary magazine, my Trinidad, Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow.
