Listen to a conversation between journalist, mid-day columnist and film critic Meenakshi Shedde and Sahitya Akademi Award-winning writer Jerry Pinto. The discussion revolves around Pinto's views and the methods he applies for his English translations of famous Marathi literary works, including Sachin Kundalkar's Cobalt Blue, Malika Amar Shaikh's I Want to Destroy Myself and Baburao Bagul's When I Hid My Caste.

Shedde will dive deep into the various layers in Pinto's translations. "What is fascinating is that it gives you a lot of insights into the way in which the other half lives," Shedde says, speaking about how Pinto's work sheds light on the lives of people whom the society considers to be culturally backward.
