Mukho Mukhi by Sanjib Chattopadhyay [Hardcover]

All seven are renowned in their fields. Each is unique in their own domain. Some are in politics, some in the arts. Some are in cinema, others in vocal music. Some in instrumental music, and some in painting. Sanjeev Chattopadhyay had face-to-face conversations with this group of seven luminaries, in various places, with a collection of diverse and thoughtful questions. These carefully selected questions shed light on them from different perspectives - on their personalities, their essence, their lives, their approaches to work, their spiritual practices, their struggles, their goals, and their philosophies of life. This book is a compilation of those long and intimate interviews. It includes Rajiv Gandhi's interview, taken in the last months of his tenure as Prime Minister. There’s also a conversation with Jyoti Basu, the leader of the Left Front’s cabinet and Chief Minister. You will find an exploration of the musical life of Suchitra Mitra, discussions on family traditions, musical heritage, and worldview with the renowned sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan, and a conversation on painting with the legendary artist M.F. Husain. Additionally, there’s a detailed interview with Ashok Ganguly, Chairman of Hindustan Lever, and an in-depth interview with Satyajit Ray, which unfolds through three different dimensions.
