    0CATCH-22Shiv Aasheesh Singh

    Book Review :It is a constricted road

    we know as dilemma. It washere, lost and figuring myway out, that I stumbledupon the words Catch-22by Joseph Heller, imprintedon the edge of a book. I donot know as to who chosewhom. Providence orchance; whatever you callit, we were soon in thecompany of each other withthe central library as awitness to our rendezvous.

    An unconventional bututterly convincing internallogic. This is the essence ofCatch-22 in the briefestpossible way. The bookslices the notions ofconvention and lays barethe absurdities of heroism,conquests and chivalry andtheir irrelevance in amundane world.

    Weaved around an

    American bombardier,Captain John Yossarian,who is based on an Italianisland during World War II,the story meanders backand forth in time amidst abrigade of other characters,all of whom fall short ofsanity judged by thetraditional yardstick. Whilemany of his fellow officersseem indifferent to theirown survival, and most ofhis superior officers areovertly hostile to his own,

    Yossarian, who of the entirelot is closest to sanity, isanimated solely by adetermination to stay alive.The book portrays thestruggle of Yossarian underthe garb o f caut ion ,cowardice, defiance, and

    s t r a t a g e m a g a i n s tcircumstance, the forceportrayed as Catch-22. A forcethat empowers the authoritiesto revoke your rights to suitthem; a force that intertwinesevery conceivable path ofescape creating an intricatemaze that leads you where youhad begun, only to start all overagain.

    The book is Joseph Heller'sanswer to the hypocrisies of theworld which lies engulfed anddormant in a nebula of falsepride and misplaced beliefs ofvalor. It is his dissent againstthe exploitation of AmericanIndians, haughty psychiatrists,bureaucrats and patriots,acquisitive war widows, highs p i r i t e d b o y s a n d w a r profiteers.

    Heller uses comedy andsatire to ridicule the militaryorganization that he uses tos y m b o l i z e e v e r y o t h e r bureaucratic organization. Helets us have a laugh before his

    shocking revelations. If itweren't were for his humor, thegruesome war and its eventswould be hardly palatable.

    But at times the multitude ofconflicts and paradoxes get onyour nerves. The story seems

    to follow a rigid pattern andmoves in circles. The presentabounds with so much that itis difficult to think of the pastand the reorientation ofchronology poses slightproblems. But then again, it isup to you to decide that awriter's ability to hold you inthe present with suchconviction is a merit or a

    demerit.

    We cannot deny Heller'sunconventional yet logicalreasoning. The characterscan be found in our daily liveswith exceeding similarity. Thisis a novel which is hard to putdown once taken up. All I cansay is that there are writers,mesmerizing writers andthere is Joseph Heller. Veryfew people achieve literary

    immortality with their firstnovel. And only one in amillion authors leaves thereader wanting for more afterreading through 300 oddpages.

    Two Small Men

    and Judas

    --Abhishek Padhye

    Mr. Frederick Pincott referred youWait I have a note

    from him. said the young Indian rummaging through hispockets. He hands over a note to the middle aged man sitting

    across the table who looks at it and says, Hmm...very well,

    very well..(then in German)..Wolf! Come out and meet this

    boy. A skinny looking boy comes out. Mr. Mohan here is from

    London. He studies law there and is on a vacation. Show him

    around Vienna. Then to Mohan, He does odd jobs for me.

    Dropped out of school, the lazy rascal! Wants to become a

    painter!...... He'll show you round the entire cityalso knows

    some EnglishThe two roamed around the city all day long. Mohan did

    not have a lot of money so they avoided the museums andoperas. Wolf did not talk much. He usually just grunted a yes

    or no and used his hands. This suited Mohan who was himself

    shy and contemplative. Sometime during the afternoon Wolf

    stopped outside a painter's studio. The pavement outside the

    studio was lined with cheap replicas of popular works of art. I

    work here. Just wait for five minutes, he said as he went in.The Last Supper- da Vinci. Exactly same. Only two

    Gulden (Austrian currency), Wolf says looking at the painting

    Mohan was engrossed in. No, no, I was just looking at it.

    What is it about? Christ's last supper with his apostles.

    There in the centre. And the fourth one from left is Judas- the

    betrayer. The one in green. He betrayed Christ for thirty silver

    pieces. .Mohan's knowledge with Christianity was limited. He knew

    that Christ was cunningly arrested and crucified by the

    Roman authorities but that he was deceived by his own

    apostle was an unpleasant revelation.

    W h a t f o l l o w s m i g h t b e

    documented history in a parallel

    universe that differs ever so slightly

    from ours. At least the whimsical

    mind that conjured it, if only to escape

    the banality of reality, likes to think so.

    The sma l l , co lo red man

    occupying the window seat has been

    staring at his boots for the past five

    minutes. He's young and formally

    dressed. Comfortable solitude of an

    empty first class coach has set him

    ruminating.

    ...Conditions here are worse

    than back home empathize with

    themThey need a leader and I owe

    myself a meaningful existence but

    have to be honest with myselfnot

    up to it. did not come here out of

    choicethe case is difficultthe

    government will ruthlessly crush

    us. Apartheid. obligations

    towards my family.I must simply

    assist the attorneys and go homeafter the case is over.family and

    h o m e c o m e f i r s t . b u t . . .

    courage.truth.principles...Will

    Judas betray Christ again?

    There are times when you are

    aware of the presence of a thought or

    an argument. It's just a feeling

    somewhere waiting for the correct

    words to fully reveal itself. But

    however hard one tries it seems

    impossible to phrase or visualize it.

    And then when you've almost givenup, out of nowhere something

    completely unrelated, heard or seen

    in the past flashes through the mind

    and you immediately know it's the

    right expression. And you are at once

    stunned at the intensity and clarity

    with which you now comprehend the

    idea and amazed at the mysterious

    way in which the mind conceived it.

    Will Judas again succumb to

    his weaknesses? The man is

    sl ight ly shaking. No! . . .my

    principlesmy Christ will not be

    betrayed

    The train has come to a halt at

    Maritzburg. Two men enter the

    coach. One of them is an official.

    He looks at the small man and

    says,"Come along, you must goto the van compartment.""But Ihave a first-class ticket," the small

    man replies. "That doesn't matter,"

    rejoined the other. "I tell you, you

    m u s t g o t o t h e v a n

    compartment." "I tell you, I was

    permitted to travel in this

    compartment at Durban, and I

    insist on going on in it." "No, you

    won't," said the official. "Youmust leave this compartment, or

    else I shall have to call a police

    constable to push you out."

    "Yes, you may. I refuse to get out

    voluntarily." The small man is

    literally thrown out along with

    his luggage. Judas did not

    betray his Christ. And now he

    never will.

    To be or not to be: that is the question.The above line might have haunted many a

    student of Shakespeare, so here's a statutory

    warning- the following passage may bring back

    unpleasant memories of a bygone era.

    There is a reason why Shakespeare's verses are

    so popular and widely read. They seem to have an

    inherent rhythm which makes them easy to

    remember and recite. And this rhythm can be traced

    to his use of the Iambic Pentameterin composingthem.A line with five feet or clusters of two syllables,

    unstressed then stressed (as in 'good bye'), adding

    up to ten syllables forms an iambic pentameter. It

    actually governs the rhythm of how poetry written in

    the meter may be read aloud, thereby improving the

    impact. For instance:

    Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

    Though art more lovely and more temperate:

    Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May

    And summers leave hath all too short a dateShall I com-PARE thee TO a SUM-mer's DAY.

    Observe the da DUM| da DUM|...

    Young men know the rules, but old men know the

    exceptions. Exceptions or rather the ability to make

    skilful variations in the iambic meter distinguish

    greats like Shakespeare, Chaucer, and Milton from

    their contemporaries. To be or not.....is a classic

    example of that. But Shakespeare was not the

    fountainhead of the meter. It was Henry Howard, the

    Earl of Surrey who introduced the iambic

    pentameter to England as an adaptation of

    Alexandrine meter.

    To wind off this salvo of literary Gyaan here's

    an amateurish attempt to exemplify the iambic

    pentameter:-

    Unshut the lock to that beneath thy bosom;

    let love refresh thee from top to bottom

    The small, white man occupying thechair near fireplace in an otherwise dimly lit

    room has been staring at his boots for the

    past five minutes. He's young and is

    dressed in police attire. Snug solitude of

    the room and the painting hung over the

    fireplace have set him ruminating.

    .Judas was an apostle and yet he

    betrayed Christ.they could corrupt an

    a p o s t l e t h i s f i l t h p e r m e a t e s

    everything..an upright man was fouled.

    He pauses to allow this sudden change of

    perception sink in. Judas had always been

    a villain.

    Germany is Judas.this dirty race hascorrupted it. never lost on the

    b a t t l e g r o u n d a n d y e t a l l t h i s

    humiliation.our government has been

    infiltrated.Herr Dexler is right. purging

    t h e s o c i e t y o f t h i s

    filth.socialism.nationalism.power.

    it's a now or never decision.

    A middle aged man with a slight limp

    walks in. Without any greeting the small

    man walks up to him, takes his hand and

    says, I m in Herr Dexler. Dexler smiles,

    Very well Herr Hitler. As of now you are the

    fifty fifth member of the Deutsche

    Arbeiterpartei. Your first task will be to give a

    speech on..

    Note: Adolf means a noble wolf. B

    'What a splendid art!And what a sad profession!'

    --Georges Bizet, on music

    Literary translators, in

    the very nature of the task,

    aim for a miracle of sorts,

    an act of reincarnation. The

    attempt to bring the words

    of one language to life in

    another seems to draw on

    the whole of one's lived

    experience. For all that,

    however, the work isneither glamorous nor

    especially mysterious, and

    yet, one cannot hail them

    enough for assisting some

    of the greatest intellectual

    feats transcend linguistic

    barriers. Maureen Freely is

    a US journalist, novelist

    and translator who grew up

    in Turkey but now resides inthe UK. One of the most

    r e s p e c t e d i n h e r

    p ro fe ss io n , sh e h a s

    translated several works by

    the Nobel Prize-winning

    wri ter Orhan Pamuk.

    Though expecting nothing

    more than the trash box, I

    s e n t h e r a n e m a i l

    expressing my admiration

    for her translation of

    Pamuk's 'Beyaz Kale and

    some amateurish queries

    about her profession. It was

    indeed a pleasant surprise

    to find a reply in my inbox a

    week later. Excerpts from

    her email :

    First, what is the right way

    to approach the translation of

    an ancient, canonical text? My

    answer is simply that there is no

    one right way. We must

    understand that different

    translations serve different

    purposes and need to be

    judged by different criteria. A

    "literal" version done properly

    remains one of the most useful

    contributions a classicist canmake.

    Translation, I'm often told,

    is a mechanical exercise.

    There is the text, which like

    fate, is already written; the

    translator's job is simply to

    replicate it in another language.

    All this is true, but there is more

    to a text than its surface. When

    I sit down to translate a novel by

    Orhan Pamuk, I know it will not

    be enough to find the correct

    words. I need to be sure they

    are also the right words the

    words that will conjure up the

    imaginary world in which it is

    set. So I myself need to

    believe in that cloistered world,

    to believe myself inside it. Only

    then can I hope to find thewords that will make it visible in

    English.

    Every time I find myself

    before a new sentence, I am

    first filled with despair, because

    the distance seems too great to

    bridge. So why do I still keep

    trying? I was eight-years-old

    when my family moved to

    Istanbul. We did not originally

    plan to stay more than a few

    years; no one made much of

    an effort to teach us children

    Turkish. It wasn't until I was

    15, and attending an English

    language lycee for Turkish

    girls, that I was able to teach

    myself the language. By then

    I had spent years listening to

    the glorious music of Turkish

    without really knowing where

    words began and ended. In a

    sense, I came to know

    Turkish as a child comes to

    know her mother tongue by

    l i s t e n i n g i n o n t h e

    conversa t ions sw i r l ing around me. I came to

    understand their emotional

    undercurrents long before I

    began to grasp their surface

    meanings. So just imagine

    how I feel now, on a good day,

    when I am translating a novel

    by Orhan Pamuk a novel

    that is set in the closed and

    forgotten world of our child and staring at a sentence that

    seems impossible to convey

    in English, and I suddenly find

    a way.

    Wanderer

    It's been over a monthsince I turned twenty. But itwas during the franticsurfing of T.V. channels forthe past two days (the firstof summer vacations) insearch of anything evenremotely sane whenrealization dawned that I

    was no longer a part of themotley crowd that causesthose with greying graycells to nod and mutter tcht c h t h e t o d a y ' sgeneration... For I identifymyself with a time whent h e r e w a s a l w a y ssomething to glue me toour 21 Onida. HumPaanch, Dekh Bhai Dekh,Malgudi Days, DisneyHour, Mahabharat, Swat

    Cats, Dexter, JohnnyQuest, original CID, SmallW o n d e r ,KBC..........................the KKrap, Splittsvilla, Dus kaDum, Anime, Vikral aurGabral, new CID, ChopSocky Chooks, Doremon,Flapjack, India T.V......Need I say more?

    Ramdeora is a tiny village in Rajasthan (a two hour ride fromth

    Jodhpur) named after Baba Ramdeo, an 18 century saint revered

    by both Hindus and Muslims, who spent his last days there. It is the

    site of a popular rural fair held in August during which thousands

    throng for adarshanof Baba Ramdeo's shrine. A close friend of my

    mother had apparently promised to offerprasadat the shrine if her

    son made it through his senior secondary examinations. That, he

    eventually did; and I, eventually received an invitation to

    accompany them to Ramdeora.

    As much as I believe in god and his greatness, temples

    somehow make me feel dull. One reason for the stubby and

    lacklustre description of Ramdeora that follows.

    To call Ramdeora a village is an exaggeration. It's basically just

    one huge temple. This temple is the centre of all social, political,

    economic activity in Ramdeora. In the myriad of sweetshops and

    thelas noisily selling everything from 'baba's favouriteprasad' to

    fake plastic watches one can also spot the dilapidated one room

    Panchayat cum Post Office occupying its measly share of the

    temple grounds. In the yard, preparations for the upcoming fair

    are in full swing. To arrive at the shrine we had to wade across

    numerous other closet sized temples bearing the names of their

    benefactors on marble engravings. The sanctum sanctorum

    however, is well maintained and the ambience calm enough for

    contemplation. Once outside, I bought a souvenir, a small clay idolof Baba Ramdeo on a horse and headed back to our car.

    If you getsimple beautyand naught else, you get about the

    best thing God invents.

    A few feet from road where the car was parked, a large camp of

    sorts caught my eye. This is where, a thelewala told me, people

    coming from remote desert villages put up. They arrive a couple of

    weeks before the annual ten day fair and leave aCont.....
