Teen Sey Chhey - Rewinding Bollywood by Bobby Ghatak.

Image
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. From Raj Kapoor to Ranveer Singh, ‘Teen Sey Chhey’ is your veritable window to peer into the joyous world of Hindi films. My Take:...

Image
The Blurb:  It’s all just a fishbowl you are sleeping inside and when you wake up it will be gone. — The cloaked man. Remembering childhood as it used to be before it was devoured by reality, this E-Book straddles the twin worlds - of an imaginative little boy and of the boarding school realities - in a rural India town. A heartfelt narration of teenage tales, of rebellion and romance, of friendship and alienation, 'The Fishbowl' recreates a surrealistic but real world. And if you look close enough, you will find a reflection of yourself in it, for no man or woman is untouched by the passage of time and its after-effect on childhood memories. My Take:  The Fishbowl: Story of the Storyteller is a newly written book by the author Vivek Kumar. Firstly I want to start with the part that I liked the most about this book is that the way the author Vivek Kumar has described each and everything in detailed description also keeping in mind the minor details of characters' emotions, ...
