The Story of My Experiments with Truth : An Autobiography Mohandas Karamcand Gandhi by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi - Om BooksAbout the Book :It is not my purpose to attempt a real autobiography. I simply want to tell the story of mynumerous experiments with truth, and as my life consists of nothing but those experiments, it is true that the story will take the shape of an autobiography. [...] Identification with everything that lives is impossible without self-purification; without selfpurification, the observance of the law of Ahimsa must remain an empty dream; God can never be realised by one who is not pure of heart. Self-purification, therefore, must mean purification in all walks of life. And purification being highly infectious, purification of oneself necessarily leads to the purification of one’s surroundings. But the path to self-purification is hard and steep. To attain perfect purity, one has to become absolutely passion-free in thought, speech and action; to rise above the opposing currents of love and hatred, attachment and repulsion. I know that I have not in me as yet the triple purity, in spite of constant ceaseless striving for it. That is why the world’s praise fails to move me; indeed it very often stings me. To conquer the subtle passions seems to me far harder than the physical conquest of the world by the force of arms. Ever since my return to India, I have had experiences of the dormant passions lying hidden within me. The knowledge of them has made me feel humiliated though not defeated. The experiences and experiments have sustained me and given me great joy. But I know I still have before me a difficult path to traverse. I must reduce myself to zero. So long as a man does not of his own free will put himself last among his fellow creatures, there is no salvation for him. Ahimsa is the farthest limit of humility. — Mohandas Karamchand GandhiAbout the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 568 Genre/Categories : Fiction Size(W x H) MM : 152x228 mm Author : Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi Language : English Publish Date : 1Jan2010 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam : The Original Screenplay by Dinesh Raheja, Jitendra Kothari - Om BooksAbout the Book :"Half a century after its release, the cinematic appeal of Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962) has not only endured but continues to grow. Central to its fame perhaps is the tour de force performance from Hindi cinema’s foremost tragedienne, Meena Kumari, in the award-winning role of Chhoti Bahu, a woman defiantly struggling against a life of material privilege but personal desolation. Directed by the renowned writer, Abrar Alvi, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, adapted from Bimal Mitra’s eponymous Bengali novel, Shaheb Bibi Golam, intrepidly explores the layered relationship that develops between Chhoti Bahu, a neglected, cloistered housewife, and Bhootnath, her male confidante, against the backdrop of late 19th-century feudal Calcutta. The film addresses complex interpersonal relationships with a wealth of subtlety and grace and throws light upon the exigencies of life for those under the yoke of the zamindari system in British India. Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam: The Original Screenplay seeks to archive the screenplay of this seminal film. It also explores the behind-the-scenes processes of creative filmmaking through interviews with the film’s cast and crew and incorporates analytical essays from authors Dinesh Raheja and Jitendra Kothari that bring into focus Guru Dutt’s preoccupation with the themes of loss, longing and platonic friendships, and delineate his enduring fascination for bygone eras. The films made under the aegis of Guru Dutt Films Pvt. Ltd. are an ineluctable part of Hindi cinema’s belle époque and this book is part of a compendium of books on three ageless classics — Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Chaudhvin Ka Chand and Kaagaz Ke Phool."About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 240 Genre/Categories : Cinema Size(W x H) MM : 230x230 mm Author : Dinesh Raheja, Jitendra Kothari Language : English Publish Date : 1Jan2012 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

Asha Parekh The Hit Girl by Khalid Mohamed - Om BooksAbout the Book :Asha Parekh was to the movies born. Ever since she was knee-high, she faced the camera as a child artiste, while performing simultaneously at dance fetes. An alumnus of Bombay’s The J. B. Petit Girls’ High School, she devoted after-school hours to learning classical dance from exacting gurus. Given a break as a leading lady by Filmalaya Studio’s Sashadhar Mukherjee, she debuted opposite Shammi Kapoor in the romantic entertainer Dil Deke Dekho. Instantaneously, the audience and the critics agreed: “A star is born.” Followed a concatenation of silver and golden jubilee hits, which established her as the quintessential Hit Girl. Possessed of all the requisites of the cinema of the 1960s and the ’70s – felicity at instinctive acting, intricate dance skills and the ability to invest conviction into the roles of zestful, glamour-exuding film heroines – she made an impact, too, with parts demanding gravitas. Apart from films in Hindi, she has also acted in films in Gujarati, Punjabi and a film in Kannada. The Mumbai film trade, to date, acknowledges her as one of the heroines with the highest number of successes. Her innumerable dance ballets on stage have earned her untold acclaim, at home and overseas. Among her other facets, she has been involved since decades in running a charitable hospital. She was Chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification (1998-2001) and has been associated with the Cine and TV Artistes’ Associations and other organisations dedicated to the welfare of film industry workers, technicians and actors. She turned producer and director with several top TRP-rated TV serials like ‘Kora Kagaz’ and ‘Palash ke Phool’ and programmes like ‘Baaje Paayal’. Currently she has chosen to retire from acting, but adds, “Never say never.” She lives by the famed Juhu shoreline in Mumbai.About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 264 Genre/Categories : Cinema/Biography Size(W x H) MM : 180 x 240 Author : Khalid Mohamed Language : English Publish Date : 14Apr2017 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

Studies were anathema to him; he was born to entertain and earn applause. In fact, he was born for the limelight.

In this searing account, expatriate journalist Alan Friedman examines the real America through the mouths of its citizens.

Ancient India by Marilia Albanese - Om BooksAbout the Book :The complex and in some ways, contradictory Indian civilisation has been both an object of great interest and violent criticism. Impartial scientific observation of the country and its people has only been a recent development and still today expectations, prejudices and cliches colour the outsider's approach. The past still plays an important role in India and so knowledge of its ancient civilisation contributes to a better understanding of the present of this, one of the world's largest countries. For five thousand years India has undergone constant transformation and this extraordinary continuity, almost unique in the world, is what strikes the student of its culture most forcibly. A set of superb photographs supported by short but exhaustive captions introduces the reader to a world of refined beauty that often veils allusions to an esoteric level of meaning. The text is supplemented by colour tables, drawings and black and white maps.About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 296 Genre/Categories : India Size(W x H) MM : 260x356 mm Author : Marilia Albanese Language : English Publish Date : 1Jan2001 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

Chaudhvin Ka Chand : The Original Screenplay by Dinesh Raheja, Jitendra Kothari - Om BooksAbout the Book :Guru Dutt's career as a filmmaker was buffeted by extreme reversals of fortune. Within eight short months of the box office debacle of Kaagaz Ke Phool, Guru Dutt released his next production, Chaudhvin Ka Chand (1960), an epic romance that proved tremendously popular.The film's thematic nucleus is the deep emotional connection between two friends, Aslam and Pyaare Miyan, which is put to the test when they fall in love with the same woman. Chaudhvin Ka Chand presents romantic intensity and fraternal sacrifice with heightened emotionality but also dries out the moistness with splashes of well-scripted humour. The story's appeal is enhanced by director M Sadiq, a Bollywood veteran from the 1940s, who imbues this Lucknowi tale with the honour and tahzeeb of a bygone era.Chaudhvin Ka Chand: The Original Screenplay archives the screenplay of this film and also incorporates insightful interviews of actors Waheeda Rehman and Farida Dadi, production associate Shyam Kapoor, make-up man Baburao Pawaskar and costume designer Bhanu Athaiya.

Shammi Kapoor : The Game Changer by Rauf Ahmed - Om BooksAbout the Book :Shammi Kapoor was an absolute original, who redefined the profile of the Hindi film hero in the late ’50s and cast him in a unique,highly individualistic mould. He was a farcry from the self-righteous ‘hero’ of the time. He broke the existing rules, made his own.After a spell of initial shock the audiences went berserk over his machismo, the roguish demeanour and the flamboyance with whichhe sang and danced. And he became the first hero to break into the formidable cordon of the Big Three of the time: Raj Kapoor, DilipKumar and Dev Anand, who had dominated the scene unchallenged for more than a decade. Shammi’s uncanny sense of musicrevolutionised the song-and-dance routine which led to the evolution of a new genre of ‘musical romance’. Unfortunately, the criticsof the time failed to comprehend his highly individualistic style and swagger. And the way he violated the image of the conventionalhero of the time made them pass him over as a ‘freak’. Nevertheless, history hasn’t denied him his niche. As film scholar Dr. Punita Bhatt succinctly avers, “Shammi Kapoor represented the blending of unique elements rooted in time, place and his own talent. More important and less appreciated, is the fact that Shammi Kapoor’s contribution, like Dilip Kumar’s, has seeped into the mainstream of popular cinema in India, becoming a part of the larger tradition every actor is heir to. Jeetendra in the first phase of his career, Rajesh Khanna in early films like The Train and Aradhana and Rishi Kapoor on many occasions, are only a few of those in whom Shammi Kapoor’s influence was pronounced. In dozens of others it is less visible but there, nevertheless.”About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 279 Genre/Categories : Cinema/Biography Size(W x H) MM : 152x228 mm Author : Rauf Ahmed Language : English Publish Date : 1Jan2016 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.
