Knot for Keeps
What holds two people together for life, sometimes across continents? What drives them apart even as they share their lives under the same roof? What makes marriage the only socially acceptable goal of a relationship? Are women, and men, preferring other options to marriage these days? Why are more and more marriages failing?

Guru Dutt: An Unfinished Story
Guru Dutt’s filmography has some names which have long been considered as some of the best films to have ever been made in India. His masterpiece Pyaasa (1957) was featured in TIME magazine's All-Time 100 Movies list in 2005. His films are still celebrated and revered by viewers, critics and students of cinema the world over, not only for their technical brilliance but also for the eternal romanticism and their profound take on the emptiness of life and the shallowness of material success. He was Indian cinema’s Don Juan and Nietzsche rolled into one. But while much has been said and written on the film-maker and his art, little is known about his life behind the screens.

Thank You, Guru Dutt!
Guru Dutt’s first name couldn’t have been more apt—he was a guru for all those who worked with him in his pathbreaking cinema. Guru Dutt was a hard taskmaster when he was shooting; he would mercilessly reshoot scenes even a hundred times until he felt satisfied with the result. Later, when the film’s cast and crew saw the excellent result of their hard work in the cinema hall, they understood: they had worked with a genius and, had together, created a cinematic miracle. The ace film director Raj Khosla observed, “For Guru Dutt, characters were not merely talking and acting, what worried him was, ‘What is my artist thinking at the moment in the story?’” Whether it was VK Murthy, OP Nayyar, Mala Sinha, Raj Khosla, Waheeda Rehman, Johnny Walker or Abrar Alvi, they were grateful to Guru Dutt because, through his cinema, he had sprinkled his golddust on them. He had brought out the best in them and had made their careers. ‘Thank You, Guru Dutt!’ is a biographical study which leaves no stone unturned in its effort to understand a man who spoke very little in person but a lot through his creations. Cinema was Guru Dutt’s voice
Anything Can Be
This book commemorating 40 years of CRY, India's most trusted NGO, is inspired by a Treasure Trove of dreams. Dreams woven by children, with their bright smiles and infinite potential, who brave the odds every day. Children who often don't make it past their 5th birthday. This grim situation has worsened with the Coronavirus pandemic as the loss of livelihoods has deprived underprivileged children of proper nutrition, timely immunisation and healthcare. The first 1000 days of a child's life are extremely important but never have they been more critical for survival. With this book, we are raising funds that are urgently needed to give every child a healthier start to life. But what makes this book truly special is that our hope is not ours alone. We believe that it's shared by each and every one of you - our contributors and our readers. That we are all united in our dreams for children as India's future. May we come together to help them rise; today and forevermore. Includes letters of love by Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Zia Mody, Sangita Jindal, Hema Malini, Boman Irani, Sameera Reddy and others.
