Jagjit Singh was more than just the king of ghazals. He was a singer, composer, arranger, lyricist, all rolled into one. Besides which he was a brother, friend, husband, and above all a father. This biography of Jagjit Singh traces the evolution of the artiste from his Namdari Singh roots through his diverse musical influences to his recreation of the ghazal as a lively, contemporary form of music that could hold both the young and old in thrall. From the days of singing ad jingles to his breakthrough album, Unforgettables, to his soul searching music for Gulzar's Mirza Ghalib, from his love of music to his fetish for horses, from his marriage to Chitra Singh to his tryst with spirituality, this book tells the story of the most loved ghazal singer of our time with great sensitivity. Delving into Singh's personal triumphs and tragedies, Sathya Saran presents a man loved by many, revered by some and unsurpassed as yet in his chosen field.

S.D. Burman was singer, musician, composer and teacher all at once - a trailblazer in the truest sense of the term. He was a prince who lived a commoner's life, a singer who created tunes instead, a classically trained musician who composed for the lay listener. His incredible career in Hindi cinema spanned three decades - through all the years of which his spirit was as fresh and young as when he started. His compositions were filmed on succeeding generations of stars to unflaggingly wonderful effect. This chronicle of the life of S.D. Burman tells his story through a kaleidoscope of montages from the inner and outer worlds he inhabited. Fragmented memoirs of his days in the sylvan surroundings of Comilla, interviews, press clippings and archival material piece together the story of the man who created some of Hindi cinema's most enduring songs. Facts and records are knitted into a multidimensional narrative that carries the reader into the little-known world of a man whose contradictions made him unique and gave him a place all his own in music. Sun Mere Bandhu Re ... The Musical World of S.D. Burman is a biography unlike any you have read before.

Fights, action, music, romance, secret trysts-renowned classical musician Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia's life reads almost like a film script. Wrestler in the morning, student during the daytime and flute player in secret, he lived more than a double life through his early years, till he broke away from his wrestler father's watchful eye to join All India Radio as a flautist. His marriage, relocation to Bombay and his foray into films were events rich in drama. As were his meetings with other musical greats, including Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma, his dearest friend and music partner, with whom he composed the music for films like Silsila, Lamhe and Chandni. His reminiscences about his journey as a student of the reclusive Annapurna Devi, daughter of the famed Allauddin Khan of Maihar, give deep insights into his nature as well as that of his guruma. Hariprasad Chaurasia has also been a guru to innumerable students in his Mumbai and Bhubaneswar gurukuls, and at the World Music Department, Rotterdam Music Conservatory, the Netherlands, where he is artistic director. His mesmerizing flute can be heard in some of Hindi cinema's most popular songs, in a composition by the former Beatle George Harrison, as well as in recordings with renowned musicians from across the world. A plethora of awards, including the Padma Vibhushan, sits lightly on the man, who has taken the humble flute to international renown as an instrument that can hold its own. Hariprasad Chaurasia and his Breath of Gold will inspire and amaze everyone who reads the life story of this much-loved flautist.

'Impossible things... It's only when you do impossible things that you grow, Cat. Things that turn you inside out, and make you wonder who you are at all in this vast and unending universe. Things that take you outside the frame.'Cat sets off on a walk up the starlit path, on a course only she can see. As she walks, others gather to her, some to share the journey, others ostensibly to help. Her youthful, ambitious, intuitive journey is now an enterprise. She must walk to a common pace, and she must lead a team that can only walk in the daylight on a trail that glows only in the dark. Above all, she must resist those who seek to subvert her journey.Still, walk Cat must. And she does - against an imaginary soundtrack of Beethoven's Sonata in C-minor, which even breaks into the rhythm of the prose.Walk in C-minor is an allegorical tale: of a vision, of holding a team together, of leadership, of finding the strength to assert one's voice. It is also an exploration of the creative process and the deepening of one's craft. Ultimately, though, it is the story of a dreamer, for great things come of strong dreams.

NO ONE HAS TO KNOW, the ultimate guide to anti-ageing by celebrated medical cosmetologist and pioneer in age-defying techniques Dr Jamuna Pai, works on the principle that people willing to invest time and other resources in anti-ageing treatments don't always want to look like they have done so. This painstakingly detailed yet easy-to-read book not only explains what speeds up the ageing process but also what effectively slows it down. Dr Pai debuts her 'less is more' 5E approach to skin -- Everyday, Exfoliate, Erase, Eat and Exercise -- to help you understand that subtle changes have the biggest impact. From homemade remedies to sunscreens, from facial exercises to Botox, from alkalizing foods to state-of-the-art non-surgical techniques, this is your one-stop resource for cutting-edge advice depending on your age, the severity of the problem and your budget. There are fine lines between enhancement and transformation and between transformation and mutation, and Dr Pai believes that the most powerful way to fight ageing is to look like the most glorious version of you. Because the best form of anti-ageing is the kind that keeps everyone guessing. No one has to know.
