As such, “Shreyarthee” is as much a memento commemorating the major events and achievements of Ravindrabab’s life as it is a quest into his thought process even while it is a loving tribute to one of the living legends of Konkani, of Goa and of Indian Literature!

This book is the outcome of Dilip Borkar’s affection and adoration for Ravindra Kelekar the man and the thinker, and Kiran Budkuley’s sense of pride on Ravindrabab’s string of achievements for konkani and Goa-culminating in the awards of the Padma bhushan to him and then the Gyyanpeeth….a first for konkani….!

The author as well the translator consider it a privilege to be able to contribute to the Ravindra Kelekar canon each a distinct way.
