This book is a classic tribute that celebrates his many accomplishments across literature music art and more. Review After finishing my first film 36 Chowringhee Lane I was full of doubts. 'There are many mistakes' I confided to my mentor Satyajit Ray. 'Of course there are mistakes!' he said in his booming voice 'It's your first film! But have you managed to create any moments or not?' There was a lesson learnt that very instant a treasured piece of advice that has stood me in good stead and remains with me even today. It's these same 'moments' that this book is made up of-intriguing intimate iconic moments that give a rare glimpse into the uncommon genius of the man whose work is the essence and apogee of Indian cinema. -- Aparna SenRay could reflect upon his own work with a certain detachment-at least during the making of it. He didn't allow style to override content. He taught me how to appreciate cinema how to be in front of the camera how to think in character how to enjoy a language. And he taught me the importance of the moment. He led by example and from him I learnt the value of commitment to one's work.' -- Sharmila Tagore About the Author Arthy Muthanna Singh is a children's writer freelance journalist copywriter editor and cartoonist based in Gurugram.
