Bahut Door, Kitna Door Hota Hai by Manav Kaul [Paperback] Hindi Edition

एक संवाद लगातार बना रहता है अकेली यात्राओं में। मैंने हमेशा उन संवादों के पहले का या बाद का लिखा था... आज तक। ठीक उन संवादों को दर्ज करना हमेशा रह जाता था। इस बार जब यूरोप की लंबी यात्रा पर था तो सोचा, वो सारा कुछ दर्ज करूँगा जो असल में एक यात्री अपनी यात्रा में जीता है। जानकारी जैसा कुछ भी नहीं... कुछ अनुभव जैसा.. पर ठीक अनुभव भी नहीं। अपनी यात्रा पर बने रहने की एक काल्पनिक दुनिया। मानो आप पानी पर बने अपने प्रतिबिंब को देखकर ख़ुद के बारे में लिख रहे हों। वो ठीक मैं नहीं हूँ... उस प्रतिबिंब में पानी का बदलना, उसका खारा-मीठा होना, रंग, हवा, सघन, तरल, ख़ालीपन सब कुछ शामिल हैं। इस यात्रा-वृत्तांत को लिखने के बाद पता चला कि असल में मैं इस पूरी यात्रा में एक पहेली की तलाश में था... जिसका जवाब यह किताब है। —मानव कौल

Beyond the Tourist Trail:

Manav Kaul's "Bahut Door, Kitna Door Hota Hai" (How Far Is Far Away) in Hindi is not your typical travelogue.  This introspective work ventures beyond the realm of sightseeing and tourist destinations, delving into the heart of what it means to travel solo.

Kaul embarks on a solo trip to Europe, using this experience as a catalyst for self-discovery.  The book chronicles not just the physical journey, but also the internal dialogue and reflections that unfold along the way.  Readers are invited to experience the world through the author's eyes, not as a collection of facts and figures, but as a tapestry of sensory experiences and emotional resonance.

The Power of Reflection:

Kaul describes his writing process as capturing the "reflection on water" - a distorted yet real image of oneself shaped by the journey itself.  "Bahut Door, Kitna Door Hota Hai" is not a straightforward autobiography, but rather an exploration of the self as it interacts with new cultures, landscapes, and experiences.

A Quest for the Missing Piece:

The author describes the entire journey as a search for a missing puzzle piece, with the answer lying within the book itself.  This captivating description hints at a deeper purpose behind the travels, a transformative experience that is gradually revealed throughout the narrative.

A Unique Read for Discerning Travelers:

"Bahut Door, Kitna Door Hota Hai" is a must-read for Hindi speakers who seek a travelogue that goes beyond the superficial.  Kaul's introspective approach and evocative writing style will resonate with readers who value the transformative power of travel and the journey of self-discovery it ignites.
