    Sudha Murty, a prolific Indian author, delves into the intricacies of family relationships in her novels, offering profound insights into the dynamics, conflicts, and evolution of familial bonds. This paper conducts a comparative analysis of family relationships depicted in three of Sudha Murty's notable novels: Mahashweta, Gently Falls the Bakula, and Dollar Bahu. By examining the themes, characterizations, and narrative techniques employed in these works, this paper aims to elucidate the diverse portrayals of family relationships in the selected fiction of Sudha Murty. Dollar Bahu delves into the complexities of familial relationships, juxtaposing traditional Indian values with modern aspirations. Mahashweta tackles societal stigmas surrounding vitiligo while addressing themes of identity, resilience, and love. Meanwhile, Gently Falls the Bakula scrutinizes the compromise between personal ambition and marital commitments, highlighting the sacrifices made by the protagonist for professional development of her husband. Through rich character development and vivid storytelling, Murty intricately weaves together these narratives, inviting readers to contemplate timeless dilemmas.

Keywords: Family, Conflicts, Sacrifice, Ambition

 Om namo bagavathe sri vasudevaya 🙏 Thy golden Light came down into my brain And the grey rooms of mind sun-touched  became A bright reply to Wisdom's occult plane, A calm illumination and a flame. Thy golden Light came down into my throat, And all my speech is now a tune divine, A paean-song of Thee my single note; My words are drunk with the immortal's wine. Thy golden Light came down into my heart Smiting my life with Thy eternity; Now has it grown a temple where Thou art And all its passions point towards only Thee.

The Void                            Gajanan Satavahana /OU/KU M.A. English Sem.1 (Paper-V.Modern Indian Literatures in Translation) The void inside us has jaws , those jaws have carnivorous teeth; those teeth will chew you up, those teeth will chew up everyone else.

This void is utterly black, is barbaric, is naked, disowned, debased, completely self absorbed. I scatter it, give it away, with fiery words and deeds. Those who cross my path find this void in the wounds I inflict on them. They let it grow, spread it around, scatter it and give it away to others, raising the children of emptiness. The void is very durable, it is fertile. Everywhere it breeds saws, daggers, sickles, breeds carnivorous teeth. T...
