A few days back saw an interview of Pratibha Ray the only woman winner of Moortidevi Award. She is a recipient of Padma Bhibhusan award, Padma Shri award, Gyanpitha award and so many others for her contribution to Odia literature.
She is from my native village area(block Balikuda, Jagatsinghpur). We have so many famous Odia writers from Jagatsinghpur. I read two of her novels and would read more as I get them. She is now in her 80s and some of her words were so true.
She said," As a writer I would like to see a peaceful and better world. I would want people to become more peaceful and stop wars. But, is it happening? And this disappoints me. "
So, true is not it. Why would someone want to write? To share something that would bring about change and make a better world. But, does it really happen??
