I opened Rishikesh’s book with a bit of doubt in my mind. The title suggested that the book was about airports. Airports are nice, cool, comfortable and mostly busy. However, that couldn't be the subject of a book! But, my curiosity forced me to read on and I must confess I could not put it down. Rishikesh has narrated his experiences at various airports in an extremely humorous manner. His style is simple and touches the heart. His keen observations about airports, airplanes, shops, departure gates and most importantly the behaviour of people around make the book a delightful read that is enjoyable and educative at the same time. It is a fun read indeed! So don’t wait. Take off and enjoy!!! –Achyut Godbole Celebrated English and Marathi author with over 30 books to his credit IT industry pioneer in India
“Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost”; “Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi namumkin hai”; “Jo main bolta hun, Woh main karta hun. Jo main nahi bolta woh main definitely karta hun” Lines from well-remembered films (or ‘dialogues’ as we call them), are part of the currency of our everyday speech. Climactic scenes are unforgettably etched in our minds. Yes, we don’t just watch movies, we internalize them. How many times, have you selected a movie shuffling through multiple reviews and ratings only to find that what you see on screen is very different from what you were led to believe? You wonder if they were written more objectively and someone like you could tell what to expect? Here is an attempt to do just that. First Day, Last Show takes you through an engrossing journey of movies seen through the eyes of a common cinemagoer. The book is a bouquet of impressions about films gathered over a period of four years. You will relate to these views easily, even if you have not seen or heard about the movie earlier. All you need is to be a fairly regular cinema goer. If you love movies, you will love reading First Day, Last Show.
