मराठी साहित्यातील ‘पुलं’ म्हणजेच पु. ल. देशपांडे हे नाव म्हणजे आनंद, विनोद, व्यंग, आणि हृदयाला भिडणाऱ्या भावना यांचा मिलाफ. ते फक्त लेखक नव्हते; ते कथाकार, नाटककार, दिग्दर्शक, गीतकार, अभिनेते, संगीतकार, वादक, वक्ते, आणि समाजसेवक अशा अनेक पैलूंनी समृद्ध होते. म्हणूनच त्यांना मराठी साहित्यात आणि कलाक्षेत्रात “अष्टपैलू व्यक्तिमत्त्व” म्हटलं जातं. त्यांच्या लेखणीतून आणि कला सादरीकरणातून मराठी माणसाच्या आयुष्यातील सुख-दुःख, आशा-निराशा, आणि दैनंदिन जीवनातील गंमतीजंमती प्रभावीपणे व्यक्त झाल्या. पु. ल. नी केवळ मराठी साहित्यातच नव्हे, तर महाराष्ट्राच्या सांस्कृतिक जीवनावरही एक अमिट छाप सोडली आहे.
पु. ल. देशपांडे यांचा जन्म १९१९ साली मुंबईत झाला. बालपणापासूनच त्यांना संगीताची गोडी होती. त्यांनी हार्मोनियम आणि पेटी वादनात प्रावीण्य मिळवलं, ज्यामुळे त्यांच्या साहित्यातही संगीताचा गोडवा अनेकदा अनुभवायला मिळतो. नंतर त्यांनी लेखन, नाटकं, आणि कथा यामध्ये आपली वेगळी ओळख निर्माण केली. त्यांची लेखनशैली हलकी-फुलकी, रसिकांना हसवणारी पण त्याचवेळी अंतर्मुख करणारी होती. साध्या माणसाच्या जीवनातील गंमती-जमती त्यांनी इतक्या सुंदरपणे शब्दबद्ध केल्या की वाचकांना आपल्याच आयुष्याचं प्रतिबिंब त्यात दिसू लागलं. त्यांचे विनोद हे केवळ वरवरचे नसत, तर ते मानवी स्वभावातील विसंगती, सामाजिक ढोंग आणि दैनंदिन जीवनातील विरोधाभास यांवर मार्मिक भाष्य करणारे असत. यामुळे त्यांचा विनोद केवळ हसवत नाही, तर विचार करायलाही लावतो.
त्यांची ‘व्यक्ती आणि वल्ली’ ही कथा-संग्रहातील व्यक्तिरेखा आजही मराठी वाचकांच्या मनात जिवंत आहेत. नारायण, अंतू बर्वा, हरितात्या यांसारखी पात्रे मराठी घराघरात पोहोचली. त्यांच्या ‘नाणे फेक’, ‘असा मी असामी’, ‘बटाट्याची चाळ’, ‘पूर्वरंग’, ‘गणगोत’, ‘माझं जे होतं’, ‘तुझे आहे तुजपाशी’ अशी अनेक पुस्तके आजही मराठी साहित्याचे हसरे पण तितकेच विचारप्रवर्तक दालन आहेत. ‘बटाट्याची चाळ’ मधून त्यांनी मुंबईतील मध्यमवर्गीय चाळ संस्कृतीचे, तर ‘असा मी असामी’ मधून सर्वसामान्य माणसाच्या आयुष्यातील अडचणींचे आणि स्वप्नांचे चित्रण केले. त्यांचे प्रवासवर्णन, जसे की ‘पूर्वरंग’, वाचकांना जगाची सफर घडवतात आणि विनोद आणि निरीक्षणातून नवीन दृष्टिकोन देतात. त्यांची प्रत्येक कलाकृती केवळ मनोरंजनासाठी नसून, ती जीवनातील विविध पैलूंची ओळख करून देणारी आहे.
साहित्याबरोबरच पु. ल. नाटकं, चित्रपट आणि संगीतक्षेत्रातही सक्रिय राहिले. त्यांनी ‘गुळाचा गणपती’, ‘वाऱ्यावरची वरात’ यांसारखी नाटकं गाजवली. ‘गुळाचा गणपती’ मध्ये त्यांनी दिग्दर्शन आणि संगीत दोन्हीची जबाबदारी सांभाळली, ज्यामुळे त्यांच्या बहुआयामी प्रतिभेचे दर्शन झाले. त्यांनी चित्रपटात अभिनय करूनही प्रेक्षकांची मनं जिंकली. त्यांचे एकपात्री प्रयोग आणि सार्वजनिक भाषणे हे तर त्यांच्या बहुआयामी व्यक्तिमत्त्वाचा कळस होता. त्यांच्या सादरीकरणातून विनोद, संगीत आणि सहज संवाद यांचा संगम अनुभवता येत असे.
त्यांच्या संगीत योगदानाचीही वेगळी ओळख आहे. आचार्य अत्रे यांच्या चित्रपटांत त्यांनी संगीत दिलं, तसेच शास्त्रीय संगीताची गोडी लोकांपर्यंत पोहोचवण्याचं काम केलं. त्यांनी अनेक चित्रपटांसाठी आणि नाटकांसाठी संगीत दिग्दर्शन केले, तसेच अनेक लोकप्रिय गाणी गायली. त्यांचे हार्मोनियम वादन ऐकणे हा एक अविस्मरणीय अनुभव असे.
पु. ल. देशपांडे हे फक्त लेखक किंवा कलाकार नव्हते, तर ते समाजसेवेतही आघाडीवर होते. त्यांनी आपल्या कमाईतून अनेक उपक्रमांना हातभार लावला, ग्रामीण भागातील शाळांना मदत केली, आणि समाजासाठी योगदान दिलं. त्यांनी अनेक सामाजिक आणि सांस्कृतिक संस्थांना आर्थिक मदत केली, पण ते नेहमीच प्रसिद्धीपासून दूर राहिले. त्यांचे साधेपणा, रसिकांशी जवळीक, आणि विनोदाने गुंफलेली जीवनदृष्टी यामुळेच ते मराठी वाचकांच्या मनावर अधिराज्य गाजवतात. त्यांची साहित्यनिर्मिती ही मनोरंजनासोबत जीवनदर्शन घडवणारी आहे. त्यांच्या निधनानंतरही ते आजही मराठी माणसाच्या मनात जिवंत आहेत, कारण त्यांचे विचार आणि विनोद चिरंतन आहेत.
पु. ल. देशपांडे यांचं लेखन म्हणजे केवळ शब्दांची मांडणी नव्हे, तर मराठी माणसाच्या जीवनाचं आरसपानी चित्रण आहे. म्हणूनच ते “अष्टपैलू लेखक” म्हणून सदैव लक्षात राहतील आणि त्यांच्या कलाकृती पिढ्यान्पिढ्या वाचकांना आनंद देत राहतील.
मराठी साहित्यात व. पु. काळे म्हणजे एक वेगळंच विश्व. त्यांना वाचताना असं वाटतं की आपण स्वतःलाच आरशात पाहतो आहोत. त्यांचा
मराठी साहित्यातील एक अद्वितीय कादंबरी म्हणजे शिवाजी सावंत यांची ‘मृत्युंजय’. ही कादंबरी केवळ महाभारतातील कर्णाच्या आयुष्याची कहाणी सांगत नाही, तर
मराठी साहित्यात विनोद ही एक वेगळीच परंपरा आहे. टोकदार व्यंग, गमतीशीर निरीक्षणं आणि हलकीफुलकी शैली यामुळे मराठी वाचकांना नेहमीच हास्यरसाचा
