Book Description
It always feels heavy to think about people, who are no more with you. People in anyone's life will keep moving on, including yourself. So, it depends how sensitive you have been to their presence in your life and what impression did they leave on you, you will react to their absence. You may miss some people for a month, a year and few others you may never get over. I have kept these stories alive inside me for very long, because I wanted to make them public and immortal by publishing them. Hope this book is received well.

Book Description
A must-read for Dev Anand fans and students of film history “A broken nose sometimes makes a great boxer,” said the evergreen Bollywood star Dev Anand after his movie Ishq Ishq Ishq did not work at the box office. In his sixty-five years of unchallenged dominance as the most-loved Hindi film star, Dev Anand gave us several memorable hits like Guide, Taxi Driver, Hum Dono, Johny Mera Naam, and Hare Rama Hare Krishna. He was not only an exceptionally handsome and stylish hero. His ‘man of the future’ philosophy is worth emulating by persons of all generations. He neither celebrated his successes nor lamented over his failures. A Karma Yogi, in the true sense of the term, he produced, directed, and acted in a lead role in a movie at the age of eighty-eight, which is without parallel in the history of Bollywood. The book attempts to analyse why his philosophy of life is a source of inspiration for all. It also gives a detailed filmography from Hum Ek Hain to Charge Sheet, with a separate chapter on Guide, and a special write-up on his genius brother Vijay Anand.

Book Description
Sita, detective Lalli’s niece—and occasional Watson—runs into former classmate Anais at Mumbai airport. Even as the friends catch up, Anais hands over a cardboard box she is carrying to a waiting woman, nonchalantly informing the traumatized lady that the box contains her son’s ashes. Some days later, Anais herself turns up dead in the slimy Mithi River, a pink nylon rope wrapped ritually around her neck. What does the cardboard box with human remains have to do with Anais’s murder? And what significance do the peculiar knots round her neck have? Lalli must find answers, fast, if she is to prevent more deaths

Book Description
SD, or Sachin Dev Burman, the man who gave Hindi film music its grammar, is perhaps the most enigmatic figure in Indian cine history. As the young scion of the Tripura royal family, SD struck out into the world of cinema and popular music. The early years were difficult, professionally and personally. His unconventional choice of profession and marriage to a 'commoner' caused his family to ostracize him, and his formal training was not enough to stave off rejections. This well-researched biography is both a tribute to a great artist, and a deep inquiry into what made his music great. Going well beyond merely listing his greatest songs, it explores hitherto unknown stories about the creation of each gem: 'Mera sundar sapna beet gaya' (Do Bhai, 1948); 'Thandi hawaein' (Naujawan, 1951); 'Yeh raat yeh chandni' (Jaal, 1952); 'Babu samjho ishaare' (Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, 1958); 'Meet na mila re mann ka' (Abhiman, 1973), and more. The book is packed with insights into SD's life, work and his astute understanding of Hindi cinema. Despite the fact that he was an outsider who spoke little Hindi or Urdu, SD was the man who introduced Sahir Ludhianvi to the world, and the one who gave Kishore Kumar's musical brilliance its due. His readiness to adapt to modern sounds and techniques, his unwavering faith in Lata Mangeshkar's virtuosity, his closeness to Dev Anand that was seen as nepotism, charges of plagiarism-S.D. Burman: The Prince-Musician provides unmatched insight into both the genius of one of India's most significant composers and a crucial aspect of its glorious cinematic history. An essential addition to every film music aficionado's library.

Book Description
Vijay & Dev were brothers. From Vijay's debut, they were inextricably wound in each film's creative process. They trusted each other implicitly, though they did have their own share of creative conflicts too. In an instance, Goldie's unease about a certain decision was echoed by Dev instinctively, in others they never saw eye to eye. The book explores what ticked for Goldie and Dev. How were creative differences resolved? How did the changing India reflect in their films? Was being brothers an advantage or a disadvantage for them? And finally, what was the unknown, the “X-factor” so to speak, which collided and coalesced between these two extraordinary people?
