Description:
|
|
This book is a collection of some of the most memorable moments from the television programme: Sitar maestro Ravi Shankar recounts how Nehru fell asleep at one of his recitals and how the audience did not clap at the end since they did not want to disturb the Prime Minister; Amitav Ghosh recalls sitting in a Defence Colony barsaati at the height of summer, a lungi wrapped around him, furiously typing out his first novel; Sachin Tendulkar talks about how he idolized John McEnroe and copied him, right down to the headband; Raghu Rai remembers chasing a baby donkey halfway across the village to take a photograph that would go on to appear in the London Times; and Shah Rukh Khan regales us with the pranks he played at school with a group of friends called the C Gang.
