Turbulent
decades of post-Partition India
|
Why can't we set the pace for events? Why can't we set the agenda for
the evolution of a new order? Why can't we proclaim aloud that the new
agenda would help the two countries come closer, questions Hari
Jaisingh.
WHITHER
the subcontinent? Where does India stand amidst the problems and
complexities of its relations with Pakistan? |

Weaving
a web of magic with Makdee
FROM
composing music to directing a film, Vishal Bharadwaj has come a long
way. With Makdee, he casts a magical web. He
calls Gulzar his guru. And much like the latter, Vishal Bharadwaj
believes in making films that stand apart. The debutant director, whose Makdee
has won rave reviews, speaks about his choice of Shabana to play the
witch, passion for cricket and his association with Gulzar.
In the spotlight
His music
transcends time
Back in the eighties, Jagjit Singh broke the barriers of language to
bring the magic of his ghazals to even those who didn’t
understand the lyrics. Now a new coffee table book reveals that his
appeal is as enduring as his music, writes Gyan
Marwah.
