KASHMIR : MEN MATTERS AND MEMORIES

Author Name: AVTAR MOTA | Format: Paperback | Genre : Others | Other Details

The book is written in two parts. Part I gives fascinating stories about men like filmmaker Avtar Kaul ( 27 Down ), writer Hriday Kaul Bharati, theatre doyen Bansi Kaul, poet Moti Lal Saqi, playwright Ali Mohammad Lone, singer Vijay Malla, singer Ghulam Hassan Sofi, poet Shantiveer Kaul, politician Sadiq Ali, writer Arvind Gigoo, composer Muhammad Ashraf, broadcaster Lassa Kaul, writer/broadcaster Umesh Kaul, writer /broadcaster Mohan Nirash, poet Chaman Lal Chaman, bureaucrat/author Prem Nath Dar, writer Pushkar Nath BA, writer/ broadcaster Bansi Nirdosh and some more persons.  Part II comprises beautiful memories and lively anecdotes about social life in Kashmir. In Part II, the essays on Shawl, Hannjis of Kashmir and  Burzahom reveal deep research while the write-ups like ‘Bangladesh Clothes’ put Mota in the category of classic humour and satire writers. The nostalgia in stories like,’ Winter Without Rain or Snow,’ The Paetgor,’ Mir Paan House’, and ‘India Coffee House’ give the reader a deep feeling of loss and longing.  The keen observations of  Avtar Mota are a treat to enjoy in both parts.  Nothing escapes his discerning eyes.
