ಆರಂಭಿಕ ಜೀವನ

ಒಂದಾನೊಂದು ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ದಟ್ಟವಾದ ಕಾಡಿನ ಮಧ್ಯೆ ಸಣ್ಣ ಗುಡಿಸಲೊಂದರಲ್ಲಿ ಒಬ್ಬಳು ದಿಟ್ಟ ಹಾಗು ಧೈರ್ಯವಂತ ಹುಡುಗಿ ವಾಸವಾಗಿದ್ದಳು. ಅವಳೇ  ಪ್ರಿಮ್ರೋಸ್ ಫರ್ನೆಟೈಸ್,ಅವಳ ವಯಸ್ಸು ಕೇವಲ ಹನ್ನೆರಡು ವರ್ಷ.

ಬಂಗಾರದ ಬಣ್ಣವುಳ್ಳ ಅವಳ ಕೇಶರಾಶಿ, ನೀಲಿ ಬಣ್ಣದ ಅವಳ ಅಗಲವಾದ ನಯನಗಳು, ಗುಲಾಬಿಯ ಮೊಗ್ಗಿನಂತಿದ್ದ ತುಟಿಗಳು ಅವಳ ದೈಹಿಕ ಸೌಂದರ್ಯವನ್ನು ಸಾರುತ್ತಿದ್ದವು. ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಮನಸ್ಸಿನಿಂದಲೂ ಪ್ರಿಮ್ರೋಸ್ ಚಿನ್ನದಂತಹ ಹುಡುಗಿ.

ಆಕೆಯ ಮನೆಯ ಆರ್ಥಿಕ  ಸ್ಥಿತಿಗತಿ ಸರಿಯಿಲ್ಲದ ಕಾರಣ ಅವಳ ಕುಟುಂಬದವರೆಲ್ಲ ಅವರಿದ್ದ ಮಿತ್ರಾಪುರ ನಗರದಿಂದ  ಬಹಳ ದೂರವಿರುವ ನಿರ್ಜನವಾದ ಕಾಡೊಂದರಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸುವ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿ ಎದುರಾಯಿತು. ಆ ನಗರಕ್ಕೂ‌ ಕಾಡಿನಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಗುಡಿಸಲಿಗೂ ಸುಮಾರು ಒಂದು ಗಂಟೆ ಜಟಾಕ ಬಂಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ  ಸಾಗಬೇಕಾಗಿತ್ತು.

ಜೀವನ ನಡೆಸುವ ಸಲುವಾಗಿ ಪ್ರಿಮ್ರೋಸ್ ಹತ್ತಿ ಬಟ್ಟೆಗಳನ್ನು ಹೊಲೆಯುವ (ನೇಯುವ‌)ಮತ್ತು  ಉಣ್ಣೆ ಬಟ್ಟೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಸೂತಿ ಮಾಡಿ ಸ್ವೆಟರ್ ಗಳನ್ನು ತಯಾರಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಳು. ಅವಳ  ಹಿರಿಯಣ್ಣ ಸ್ಟಾನ್ಲಿ, ಕಾಡಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಗುವ ಮರಗಳನ್ನು ಕಡಿದು ನಗರದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ವ್ಯಾಪಾರಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಮಾರಾಟ ಮಾಡುವ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡ್ತಾ ಇದ್ದ.

ಸ್ಟಾನ್ಲಿ ಮರದ ತುಂಡುಗಳನ್ನ ಹಾಗೆ ಪ್ರಿಮ್ರೋಸ್ ತಯಾರಿಸಿದ ಬಟ್ಟೆಗಳನ್ನು ಮತ್ತು ಸ್ವೆಟರ್ಗಳನ್ನು ಅವರ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲೇ ಇದ್ದ ಕಡು ಕಂದು ಬಣ್ಣದ ಜಟಾಕ ಗಾಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಒಯ್ಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಆ ಗಾಡಿಯನ್ನು ಹೊರುತ್ತಿದ್ದದ್ದೇ ಜಿಂಜರ್ ಎನ್ನುವ ಅವರ ಮನೆಯ ಕುದುರೆ.

ತುಂಬಾ ದಿನಗಳಿಂದಲೂ ಪ್ರಿಮ್ರೋಸ್ ತಾಯಿ ಖಾಯಿಲೆಯಿಂದ ಬಳಲುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಕಾರಣ ,ಆಕೆಯು ಒಂದು ದಿನ ತೀರಿ ಹೋದಳು. ಇದರಿಂದ ಪ್ರಿಮ್ರೋಸ್,ಅವಳ ತಂದೆ,ಮತ್ತು ಅವಳ ಹಿರಿಯಣ್ಣ ಸ್ಟಾನ್ಲಿ ದುಃಖ ಕ್ಕೆ ಈಡಾದರು‌‌.

ಮೊದಲೇ ಆರ್ಥಿಕವಾಗಿ ಕುಸಿದಿದ್ದ ಕುಟುಂಬಕ್ಕೆ ಪ್ರಿಮ್ರೋಸ್ ಳ‌ ತಾಯಿಯ ಸಾವು ತೋಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲಾರದಷ್ಟು ದುಃಖ ತಂದಿತ್ತು ಹಾಗೂ ಮಾನಸಿಕವಾಗಿ ಕುಗ್ಗಿಸಿತ್ತು.

ಒಂದು ಸಾವಿನ ನಷ್ಟದ ನಂತರ ಫರ್ನೆಟೈಸ್ ಕುಟುಂಬದಲ್ಲಿನ  ಆರ್ಥಿಕ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿಯ ಸುಧಾರಣೆಗಾಗಿ ಸ್ಟಾನ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರತಿನಿತ್ಯವೂ ಬಿಡುವಿಲ್ಲದಂತೆ ಮರಗಳನ್ನು ಕಡಿಯುವ ಕೆಲಸದಲ್ಲೇ ದುಡಿಯಬೇಕಾಯಿತು. ಇನ್ನೂ ಪ್ರಿಮ್ರೋಸ್ ತಂದೆಯನ್ನು ನೋಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ, ಮನೆ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನೂ ಮಾಡುವುದರ ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಪ್ರತಿನಿತ್ಯ ಬಟ್ಟೆ ಹೊಲಿಯುತ್ತಲೆ ಇದ್ದಳು.

ಒಂದಷ್ಟು ದಿನಗಳು ಉರುಳಿದವು. ಒಂದು ರಾತ್ರಿ, ಊಟದ ಸಿದ್ಧತೆಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದಾಗ ಇದ್ದಕ್ಕಿದ್ದಂತೆ ಪ್ರಿಮ್ರೋಸ್ ಳ‌‌ ತಂದೆ ಪಾಶ್ವರ್ವಾಯುವಿಗೆ ತುತ್ತಾದರು. ಅವರು ಮಲಗಿದ್ದ ಹಾಸಿಗೆಯಿಂದ ಮೇಲೇಳಲು ಆಗದೆ ಮಾತಾನಾಡಲು ಆಗದೆ ಅವರ ಎರಡು ಕಾಲುಗಳು ಸ್ವಾಧೀನ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡವು ಇದು ಫರ್ನೆಟೈಸ್ ಕುಟುಂಬಕ್ಕೆ‌ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಆಘಾತವನ್ನೇ ತಂದಿತ್ತು.

ಪ್ರಿಮ್ರೋಸ್ ಮತ್ತು ಸ್ಟಾನ್ಲಿ ಇಬ್ಬರೂ ಅವರ ತಂದೆಗೆ ಮಾತಾನಾಡಲು ಸಹಾಯವಾಗುವಂತೆ  ಆರ್ಯುವೇದ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ಕೊಡಿಸಿದರು. ಆದರೆ , ಅದು ಕೇವಲ ಅವರ ಧ್ವನಿಯನ್ನಷ್ಟೆ ಸರಿ ಮಾಡಿತ್ತು. ಆದರೂ ಅವರ ಆರೋಗ್ಯದ ಸ್ಥಿತಿ ಗತಿ ಕ್ಷಿಣಿಸುತ್ತಲೆ ಇತ್ತು. ಅವರು ಹಾಸಿಗೆ ಹಿಡಿಯುವಂತಾಯಿತು.

ಪ್ರಿಮ್ರೋಸ್ ಹಾಸಿಗೆ ಹಿಡಿದ ತನ್ನ

Primrose Curse: This fairy tale is written by young adolescent girl Kiara Shankar, studying in one of the schools in California, USA. She depicts the story of 12-year old girl Primrose, who comes from a poor family struggling for the livelihood with elder brother and father. Story begins with Primrose’s situation of mother being lost at very early age and father under going health issues. I personally liked here, Kiara’s narration on how daughter takes care of her father bringing the positive note of hope to father and getting better and courage of primrose going alone into a huge forest. A doubting thought on talking animals, reason behind Primrose name, curiosity and story becomes even more interesting during the journey of Primrose and animal characters when they get along to protect the human kind from evil queen. Narration of the journey in reaching evil land, each animals emotion, while sailing- experiences of characters, inquisitiveness is very good. Primrose and team being successful in destroying the evil queen and at last Primrose getting rid of the curse and joining the family- specially mother being alive and happiness of getting her back was a rebirth and a happy ending altogether, made me personally happy and as a parent got know the different perspectives and creativity of children. Goodluck to KIARA and for more stories.

Regards,
Thejaswini

TITLE : PRIMROSE'S CURSE
LANGUAGE : KANNADA
AUTHOR : KIARA SHANKAR AND VINAY SHANKAR
MY RATING : 4.5/5

Primrose is the main character which is a delight to everyone and a wonderful creation by the author. The author must be an fantasy expert to bring out her imagination into a school time comic book effect. Though I read the kannada version of this book, this book satisfies all age group regardless of its theme. Such a delight to read word to word with a great idealism and message to convey, lots of optimism with useful guidelines of path to be chosen. Such huge information compressed and presented in a book at its best format.
Things to look for from this book :
Childhood memories
Growth
Humanity
Love
Comic
Young love
A story which takes you back to your old days where you had prime time is a definite read not to miss out on.

Readers of any age would love to enjoy such fairytale and feel childhood memories refreshed, even if it may be for selected readers. I would love to suggest all to read.

[Akshat Deo · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

You do not have to be a child to relive that innocent and wonderful part of your life. A children's novel helps you live a child's life vicariously.
This is one such Novel, that is commendably written by a 11 year old, that lets you in on the adventurous journey of Primrose Fernetis in her her quest to rid her land of evil machinations of the Evil sorceress.

The characters are written such that it seems the author has breathed life in them. The names given to the entities is rather interesting and unique.
The morals and noble values that the story imparts are that hope, sympathy and kindness go a long way and always win over evil.
The plot draws inspiration from classics like Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz. The young author's reinterpretation of these classics is appreciable. Since she is young, there is a lot of space for improvement and I'm sure she'll turn into a prolific author with age.

Primrose's curse: A fairytale of an audacious girl by Kiara Shankar and Vinay Shankar

First of all, I would like to congratulate the young girl for writing such a wonderful story. Her experience in watching and reading has made her write this fairy tale as I could clearly depict her grasping power over flipping the pages. So the protagonist of this story is Primrose, a twelve-year-old kid. Her family has a poor background, she has a brother and a sick father. In order to get rid of his ailment, she strides to the tropical forest to procure some therapeutic plants. On reaching that place, something weird occurs as she gawks the animals speaking. So it's such a beautiful fairytale that will allow the children to get a new experience. They try to seek her favor in order to make the world a better place and to get rid of the evil powers. What will happen next? Will primrose and animals fight against the odd?

What do I love in this book?
• The narration is crisp and clear.
• The young author has taken a bold attempt to unleash her imagination with this story.
• This is an interesting short read, illustrated with beautiful pictures.
• The story is derived by her thoughts grasped from her observations.
