Youth . . . like Spring, it is an ethereal, exhilarating and enchanting season that favours each one of us just once. Like Time, it never lasts long enough, its succulence slipping away silently and stealthily. Like Mother Nature, it lets you be your own teacher of right and wrong. Like Desire, it leaves you yearning for more, never to return. Youth, at more than half of its population, is the very arbitrator of India’s destiny today. There are youth for whom life is a joy ride of pomp and selfish pleasure. Then, there are youth for whom life is a gruelling journey of toil and turmoil. And then, there are the 3-D girls . . . Devika, Damini & Deeksha!

Come, fasten your seat belt and enjoy the ride!
India is home to almost every religion in the world, each practised by its own set of believers. But two religions are practised, indeed celebrated, by all Indians across the length and breadth of the country all the time . . . cricket and cinema. Indian cinema is 100 years old. 105 years, to be exact, since Dadasaheb Phalke made India’s first full length silent film Raja Harishchandra in 1913. Sound entered the silent movie when Ardeshir Irani made India’s first talkie film Alam Ara in 1931. Sound brought into movies that magical potent, that elixir craved for by entertainment seeking audiences of all ages, all classes . . . . . MUSIC ! This book showcases some of Bollywood’s immortal music melodies from 1950 to 2010 that have stood the test of Time. And the people behind them. Come, let’s take a trip DOWN BOLLYWOOD STREET, ON MELODY BEAT !
From Stone Age, wars have been and are being fought. For the weak and poor, it is a war for survival. For the strong and wealthy, it is a war for more power and wealth. And, of course, there is one war simmering unabated since the time of Adam & Eve . . . MAN v/s WOMAN ! Man feels superior to Woman. Woman finds Man overbearing. This then forms the genesis of a war that ends in nemesis for both. The truth is that like night and day, pain and pleasure, man and woman are inseparable. If one is the song, the other is its very rhythm. If one is the stronger among the two, the other is the very secret of this strength. Lucky couples who realise this truth will find life a journey of joy. Others too blinded by their ego will remain on a path of pain. The ANANDs are one such couple in love and at war too. Will they be lucky?
