This was mynd book by d author who does a good job making herself invisible and has minimal comments.
Despite being short, d books have substance and r satisfying and I have already started third by her on Gulzar backtoback, A scholarly interactions between two people, Javed Akhtar is a famous poet, lyricist and screenplay writer, Nasreen Munni Kabir lives and works in London as an independent film producer/director, She has made overdocumentaries on hindi cinema, and has written several books on it, Javed Akhtar talks about his early days, his struggles in Mumbai, his relationships with his parents, his life and work in films where he began as a clapper boy and his successful partnership with Salim Khan.
You can feel his enthusiasm when he talks about Urdu poetry and of course Urdu as a language, If you have any interest in Hindi

cinema then this book is definitely a must read,

My favourite quotes from the book:

, Conversations have three levels: people, incidents and ideas, The lowest form of conversation is about people, When we go up one rung we reach incidents which have a slightly larger spectrum than talking about people, But the conversation which really matters is when we talk about ideas, because they are universal and live beyond time and space,
. I consider film dialogue as edited and directed conversation, You shouldn't be allowed to meander, Good film dialogue is not conversation but a kind of representation of it,
. I believe words are like people, You scrutinize them carefully.
. Books. Books. In my formative years, I hadn't seen many films books were more easily available, And there was a tradition of reading in the family, everybody read, There would be lots of books and magazines in the house and people would discuss them, So I read a lot, films were expensive, one could see two films in a month, oh no, perhaps one film in a month, But we could read as many as we wanted.

. Both things have helped me in my life: my deep interest in literature and my extreme fascination for films I was glamourstruck by cinema,
. Life is strange. Sometimes if you look back, Munni, you feel like editing your life, rewriting it, you change scene, but the story is so wellknit, the moment you change scenewhich is less pleasant, you realize that scenewhich is the highlight of the story will have to vanish.
it is not possible to retain scenebecause it has some connection with scene, I understand that this present would not have been possible without that past,
. He Javed's father once made a remark that left deep impression on me, He said, "It's very easy to write in difficult language but it's very difficult to write in easy language because you have to have tremendous command over language to put an intricate or complicated idea into simple words.
"
. One could say in art we need four things: to observe, to feel, to understand, and to communicate what we have felt,
. What's important is that you should work from your heart with total sincerity and involvement, Do what excites you, don't do things that you think are the right to do,
. There's a saying in Urdu, if you want to know somebody well, either live with them for fourteen years, or travel with them, But there's another way: observe a person when he or she is very angry, People drop all their guard in a moment of anger, their real self is revealed, No matter how angry you are, if you are a decent person, you won't say or do things that you believe to be unfair or below the belt.
That's where your class will show,
. I have a weakness for people who are bright and have a good sense of humor, I have respect for nice people, but I'd rather spend an evening with an interesting person, Fantastic Book on Javed Akthar, Full Book Interview.
