Interpretation As Books मधुशाला
The translation probably will spoil even the title - wine-house? Unlike most other poems that are on a single theme and used a large number of motifs to give a single message, this contains 139 messages (a message for each stanzas) including themes like seasons, life, existional crises, aging, death, hedonism, hopefulness, desperation, religion, caste, class, politics, the alcohal itself, the stanzas themselves etc and it is only motifs that stay same - Madhushala (alcohal shop -hindi word 'madhur' means sweet and has a sweet sound to it), Saki (female cupbearer - sort of like waitress only the original word is much more sensual), pyala (cup), Halalhal (a sort of poison) etc. None of those words translate as beautifully as far as I know, it must be fun to try an English translation.List Containing Books मधुशाला

Simply entertaining and meaningful at the same time. It's all about the goodness of the Madhushala i.e. drinking bar. Really liked it.Madhushala is an abstraction of anything and everything you 'wish'. It is what you wanna be, where you wanna be. And it has it's elements, which have their own characters. The book, after 80 years of it's conception, holds true to me, and very many people who, in all their remaining capacities, are seeking for a refuge from all that the world represents. People have had millions of interpretations of this book, all of them true to the person. This book creates a world of like minded people, who
Amazing poem by Harivansh Rai Bachchan. This poem was written in 1935. A masterpiece in hindi literature. If you didn't read this poem just read it now you will not regret.
the 1st book i read. I had read the in my school days.... even today i love to read it....
The writing has perhaps the best "rhythm" of all that I've read - so spectacular that at times, I enjoyed verses purely on the basis of their metric, rather than their content. I appreciate the title - "Madhushala". It is a reflection of the sentiment of revolution (reformation?) against orthodox, structured edifices (primarily religious edifices). The idea of *alcohol* has a very strong connotation to it.I feel comfortable with the knowledge that I know very little. It is scary and overwhelming
the best poetic description of all colours of life.
