Download or read book Madhuri Dixit written by Nandana Bose and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wide-ranging account of the Indian film star Madhuri Dixit, one of the most popular actresses of Hindi cinema. Nandana Bose's study traces Dixit's twenty-five year career, exploring her star persona, her indelible impact on Indian popular culture, and her continuing popularity even in middle age. Nandana Bose discusses Dixit's unusual and distinctive career trajectory that upends pre-existing models of female stardom, by marrying at the peak of her career, withdrawing from the limelight for years, and then returning to extend her career into her early fifties by reinventing herself as a transmedia celebrity for a new generation. However, it is her unique talent as a dancer, and her innovative choreographic styles and repertoire of movements that make her standout from other Hindi film stars. Surveying Dixit's film-making career, Bose argues that she represents a wholesome and traditional figure of femininity that has resonated across class and cultural hierarchies at a time of great economic and social change in India.

Download or read book One of Them written by Shaneel Lal and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2023-07-11 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning, heart-breaking yet defiant memoir by activist, model and social media sensation Shaneel Lal. 'Shaneel is not like anyone you have ever met. An absolute must-read.' - Ruby Tui What would you do if you were told by the people you loved the most that the way you were born was evil and wrong? For Shaneel Lal, this was their reality from the time they were five. Growing up in a tiny, traditional village in Fiji, Shaneel always knew they were different. Still, for the first years of their life, it was idyllic playing dress-ups in saris with their sister, and hiding under their neighbour's house, playing games with dolls. But from the time Shaneel started school, they faced condemnation from their family, and then 'therapy' from conservative elders in their village. The elders tried to 'free' Shaneel from the evil spirits they thought were making them queer. Shaneel was kept away from the girls to stop Shaneel from becoming more feminine, and from the boys to stop Shaneel's queerness from spreading to them. Eventually the 'therapy' escalated to beatings and torture. After escaping Fiji and moving to New Zealand as a teenager, Shaneel tried to keep their sexuality and gender to themself, but gradually found the courage to come out. One day, while Shaneel was volunteering at Auckland's Middlemore hospital, a church leader came up to them and offered to 'pray the gay away'. It was a lightbulb moment for Shaneel, who could not believe that the same practices that had scarred their childhood in Fiji were operating and legal in New Zealand. Determined to ensure others wouldn't have to go through what happened to them, Shaneel founded the Conversion Therapy Action Group, which lead the movement to ban conversion therapy in Aotearoa. In 2022, thanks to Shaneel and other activists' work, New Zealand banned conversion therapy. This is a story of one person's fight for the right to live their life as they deserved and their extraordinary work to protect other young New Zealanders.

Book Synopsis My Date with Editors by : Jyotindra Nath Prasad
Download or read book My Date with Editors written by Jyotindra Nath Prasad and published by Educreation Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book unfolds my professional performance. I have revealed my best and the worst both. It is a saga of a journalist though many would doubt whether work as proof -reader counts for journalism as it was not considered the mainstream of journalism, rather a stigma attached with the likes of me for 16 years in a row. Then there is reporting stint for 20 years which had its pitfalls and glory. Expressing views on contemporary issues has been changeable because I hold opinion and opinion does not hold me. Non-payment to my contribution to periodicals as free-lance journalist may sound grumbling, but it is pain of a pen- pusher who at last surmises that one cannot survive with free-lancing in Bihar. Readers may ask why I don’t write for the periodicals published outside Bihar. Frankly speaking I don’t consider myself as a journalist of calibre. I am still a student of journalism. Moreover, I have been interested in matters Bihar from very beginning and am still groping in darkness as far as knowledge about my native state is concerned. The book is a not a literary piece that would involve your attention. As journalism is a literature in hurry, my writing in English may not be considered upto the mark and for many literary geniuses and eminent journalists it may be a foolish exercise. But I am sure that whoever came into my journalistic sphere his resemblance ca n be found in me somewhat or more. Journalism is cynic business and one can find fault with himself also. It is a human nature and if I have complained or ridiculed anyone, I seek his pardon. I forgive and forget myself and others. The book may not be for the use of many but may hold interest of the journalists and if it is so, then I am a success. It is for you readers to decide.Book dedicationTo my mother who has always been an inspiring force to me.

Book Synopsis To the Elephant Graveyard by : Tarquin Hall
Download or read book To the Elephant Graveyard written by Tarquin Hall and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Introduces us to the darker side of the Asian elephant. It is more of a thriller than a straightforward travel book . . . insightful and sensitive.” —Literary Review On India’s northeast frontier, a killer elephant is on the rampage, stalking Assam’s paddy fields and murdering dozens of farmers. Local forestry officials, powerless to stop the elephant, call in one of India’s last licensed elephant hunters and issue a warrant for the rogue’s destruction. Reading about the ensuing hunt in a Delhi newspaper, journalist Tarquin Hall flies to Assam to investigate. To the Elephant Graveyard is the compelling account of the search for a killer elephant in the northeast corner of India, and a vivid portrait of the Khasi tribe, who live intimately with the elephants. Though it seems a world of peaceful coexistence between man and beast, Hall begins to see that the elephants are suffering, having lost their natural habitat to the destruction of the forests and modernization. Hungry, confused, and with little forest left to hide in, herds of elephants are slowly adapting to domestication, but many are resolute and furious. Often spellbinding with excitement, like “a page-turning detective tale” (Publishers Weekly), To the Elephant Graveyard is also intimate and moving, as Hall magnificently takes us on a journey to a place whose ancient ways are fast disappearing with the ever-shrinking forest. “Hall is to be congratulated on writing a book that promises humor and adventure, and delivers both.” —The Spectator “Travel writing that wonderfully hits on all cylinders.” —Booklist “A wonderful book that should become a classic.” —Daily Mail

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second Lieutenants Deepa Shekhar and Anjali Sharma have an important task at hand: convince their male counterparts that they too are assets to the Indian Army – rather than merely those with assets. When the 23-year-olds are transferred to a remote army unit, several hilarious situations follow, thanks to the stark novelty of a feminine presence in the traditionally male army. However, with each passing day, the differences in their personalities begin to emerge. Deepa is more ‘officer’: she insists on being called ‘Sahab’ and even takes to swearing like the troops. Anju is more ‘lady’: she can’t give up her make-up and Mills & Boon romances. Or resist the charms of a certain dashing young officer, despite her friend’s warnings to stay away. The girls frequently fall out and get back together, but face the same dilemma: is any man worth more than their uniform?
