Teen Sey Chhey - Rewinding Bollywood by Bobby Ghatak.

The Blurb:  The ‘Tragedian’ Dilip Kumar who amazed us as a ‘Prince’ and a ‘Bandit’.The onslaught of Bachchan vaporizing all. The collapse of the pedigreed ‘Star Sons’, a pirate who turned in to a ‘mogul’ and many such epoch moments that stand out to define Bollywood. Tracing events chronologically since the ‘Big3’-who later made way for the rise of a ‘Superstar’, followed by a ‘Phenomenon’, who had the industry eating out of his hands. Read about Titans battling the pain of shocking failures and outbreaks of mediocrity. Actors and filmmakers alike, working up their way tenaciously where few found glory in an embracing Friday while some watched their destiny shredding away. In a world where only the toughest survive, many faded away as memories lying in catacombs of extinct theatres while some serenaded to finally reach the comfort of the multiplexes.

The Blurb;  An International motor journey across the whole Himalayan mountain range traversing foreign countries, covering over 14000 Kms in a grueling journey of 76 days. A first-hand account of the arduous journey criss-crossing Countries, Mountain Peaks, Passes, Forests, Rivers, and desolate roads, some infested with Terrorists. And enjoying the company, the food, the festivals, the people, the Bazars, the comradery, the views, the season and the Boozing. My Take: Have you ever traveled to the Himalayas? If yes then this book will make you relive the experience again. OR if not then after reading this book you will definitely be compelled to go on your own trip.  Himalayas: The Only Motor-Trek Across the Entire Mountain Range is the new book written by the author Sumant Barooah and it's an incredible book that I enjoyed reading.  The book is like an amazing travel literature, where the author Sumant Barooah is describing the experiences of and places he visited and its experien
