When a buffalo intercepts an ST bus on its way between Mumbai and Ratnagiri, a beautiful chaos ensues. In what must surely rank as one of Pu La’s most beloved stories, Mhais tells one story that houses within it many others, like buds on a tree.

 

To Dhruv, Mhais represents the best entry point for anyone new to Pu La’s writings and kathaa kathan. Vineet finds that Mhais represents a microcosm of Maharashtra, with an incredible diversity of characters. And to Bhupal, Mhais is noteworthy for its genius both as a piece of writing, as well as a performance.

PL Deshpande - a doyen of Marathi literature. But what happens when three friends who know him differently sit to discuss his work?

Meet Vinit, the expert. He's grown up listening to PL. Then there's Bhupal... he's heard enough PL to know what's going on, but is open to knowing more. And then there's Dhruv... he's, well... the novice! And he's hearing most of this for the first time. 

It's a journey of learning, discovery, new perspectives and continued awe of the great man's works.
