Madhya Pradesh: Unhurried, Unspoilt, Undiscovered describes exactly what makes the state special. Unlike other states, the mention of Madhya Pradesh does not evoke a single image; this is because the immensity and astonishing variety of its attractions do not permit its confinement to a stereotype. This is not a ‘guide book’ - it is an attempt to introduce readers to the essence and flavours of destinations in Madhya Pradesh, which include majestic monuments, the finest forests and wildlife sanctuaries of the country and unspoilt retreats. It is hoped that readers would be tempted not only to visit the areas, but explore and find out more about the people and this unique state, which so richly deserves its epithet of being the ‘Heart of India,’ in more ways than one.
Shammi Kapoor continues to gather Lifetime Achievement Awards, as the country still dances to his songs. India’s first major dancing star, with a fabulous selection of music to back his moves, he never toppled from the pantheon of film greats, no matter how many superstars came after him. The Rebel Star - the middle son of Prithviraj Kapoor - dominated the 60s with his musicals and today’s dancing stars are indebted to him for liberating the Hindi film hero from the strong, silent, traditional role. The book traces his career with his ups and downs, touches upon his tempestuous life and gives credit where it’s due. Shammi Kapoor will always be among the best dancing stars and actors ever seen in Hindi films.
