known book by an unknown author

After 3 months of legroom,DeshaKaala is available in the market. By the way Desha kaala means the literary little magazine edited by Vivek Shanbhag.It is in Kannada, the official language of Karnatka,India. Vivek is in Bangalore and he is a short story writer with good literary sensibility. To appreciate his taste and my statement, you have to read the short story of ‘Jogi’ in DeshaKala July –September 2006.

The story, if it can be summarized runs like this.
Raghavendra raya, the librarian of central college on the last day of his retirement finds a book. It doesn’t have the cover page; name of the author is not there. Blurb has a list of other books written by the same ‘author’! But who is the author?

Raghavendra is now retired and that book haunts him day and night and at last he asks his friend Desai , who is a lecturer in a college to read that book. But only to know that Desai has not only ignored the book but has lost it.
Raghavenda becomes mad about the book and the the ‘author’. He was finally driven by some force to rewrite it, till he feels liberated. The dawn of next day knocks the door of literary world with the death of an unknown reader who tried to retain the story of an unknown author.That means Raghavendra is dead. What does the story suggests?It may suggest different things to different readers but I have listed down my observations:
-Literary world is insensitive.

-Lecturers who are supposed to be the torch bearers of knowledge are irresponsible.

-People who are ‘ordinary’ are much eager on culture, language than the elite class.

-Librarians like Raghavendra who are sensible to books are very rare to find at least in Indian libraries.

Last punch- By the way who is 'Jogi’?
