Book Title: A Place in My Heart

Author: Anupama Chopra

Sometime in the summer of 1989, writes Anupama Chopra, she fell in love with Bollywood, though the term had not yet become a moniker for the Hindi film industry. As the love affair expanded to Hollywood and world cinema, the film critic, journalist and award-winning author embraced ‘not just the movies, but the people who made them’.

Make place in your heart for the delightful ‘A Place in My Heart’ — a journey defined by cinema and lived in the Bollywood trenches, as she writes about 51 films, artistes and events that have left an indelible impression on her, and shaped her career. Featured, in her relaxed writing style, are some of the gems of Indian and world cinema, and the artistes guiding and driving the many-splendoured creative works. The book has a blend of recommendations, nostalgia and narratives and, of course, Chopra’s unique take on the world of cinema. —TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
