Review Dilip Kumar:

Dilip Kumar the Substance and the Shadow an Autobiography is a complete life story of this legend, Read the story of the life of this wonderful and uncomplicated man who is described as an enigma by those who know him not as well as some of his close friends and colleagues do. In the section of this book where his co-stars and admirers have drawn their own portraits of Dilip Sahab in their narrations to Udayatara, some unknown facets and some of his contributions to society as also some of the achievements he has never talked about are brought to the fore. Therefore, there is much to learn from the insightful personal accounts in that section, too, which, if I may say so at the risk of sounding vain, is as electrifying as the first part.

Aik Siasat Kai Kahaniyan Review:

Aik Siasat Kai Kahaniyan is written by a famous journalist Rauf Klasra, The book is filled with palace intrigues and power games in Pakistani politics. Former friends ditching old friends for new ones, relationships breaking due to assumed personal slights, grudges due to flippant remarks exploited by willing sycophants, and professional flatterers and go-betweens archiving high office, in short the political arena of Pakistan is exactly like a children's playground without any adult supervision. Most Pakistani politicians are in politics due to their privileged contacts not ideologies. There is little merit and a lot of opportunism, that is primarily the reason why most of them are easily played by army generals who have risen on merit. That makes sense as Pakistan Army is run on democratic principles where anyone can rise to the top slot regardless to caste or creed.The book is filled with political gems like when referring to Farouq Leghari's dismissal of Benazir's PPP government in the 90's, the author makes the following very astute point, how could Leghari choose to retain office after dismissing the corrupt government of PPP when he was put in office by the support of exactly same 'corrupt' people?

Review: The Spy Chronicles

The Spy Chronicles is written by A.S. Dulat and Asad Durrani, The book is not sensationalist or revelatory in any way, shape, or form, particularly for those who are rooted in the politics, culture, and society of Kashmir. It certainly doesn’t contain classified documents, either about the policies of the two nation-states vis-à-vis Kashmir or their respective alliances with world powers. Both Durrani and Dulat are clearly familiar with the etiquette of small talk and idle banter. Some portions of the book were speculative and more like cocktail party conversation.And that’s probably why several people were surprised to hear that the Interior Ministry of Pakistan had placed former Director General of the ISI and Lieutenant General Asad Durrani’s name on the Exit Control list. This measure was taken on the recommendation of the Directorate of the Military Intelligence of Pakistan.Although Durrani and Dulat’s advocacy of unconventional solutions to the Kashmir issue came across as a little facetious at times, nevertheless there was an attempt to think beyond UN resolutions. The conversation between the two, which was moderated by journalist Aditya Sinha, gives credence to the idea of an autonomous, semi-sovereign Jammu and Kashmir on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC), and emphasizes ‘Kashmir as the core issue between India and Pakistan.
