One thing is Sure... If Narayan Wagle ji is a true sahaityakar, he would not go for this speedy Madan Puruashkar. But he is a lobhi bahun so purushkar lina hataar ni ta uslai. If he believes that he has written a very good novel..... he would not give a damn about the award.... but then question arise can he evaluate himself writing a good novel or not. Who kows, without being able to evaluate himself, he might have mistakenly thought that he is a good writer.. and because of that flaw in himself, he went applying for this award. A true writer doesn't need an award.... what count most is the critical reviews by the readers..... but where are the good reviews for Palpasa Cafe? Damn it !! can you people see it's simply propaganda.... they just whirled the news on air that this shit novel is selling HOT real HOT... then inticed people to go and buy the book...... damn it.. this all fuc*king twisting people's minds with so called Ashu's shit Capitalism. Khwasa, don't think that Capitalism is the Best... yes that seems to be taking over the world in this age.. but not always!!! In future who knows what will happen.... Ashu simply wants to protect his job... so he is doijng propaganda praising Capitalism... you moron capitalists!!
