Event Description : Penguin Books presents "And Then One Day: A Memoir" by Naseeruddin Shah - book launch.

Naseeruddin Shah’s sparkling memoir of his early years “from zero to thirty-two” spans an extraordinary journey from a feudal hamlet near Meerut, to Catholic schools in Nainital and Ajmer, and finally to stage and film stardom in Mumbai. Along the way, he recounts his passages through Aligarh University, the National School of Drama and the Film and Television Institute of India, where his luck finally began to change. Family members are movingly evoked, as are his somewhat darker memories of school, and his later struggle to find his métier and make a mark. Rich tributes (and an occasional snipe) are directed at all who encouraged and helped along the way, among them Ebrahim Alkazi, Satyadev Dubey, Shyam Benegal, Girish Karnad, Raushan Taneja, Om Puri and Shabana Azmi. The accounts of his struggle to earn a living through acting, his experiments with the craft, his love affairs, his early marriage, his failures and successes are written about with remarkably candid self-assessment, and with tongue firmly in cheek. Brimming with delightful anecdotes and humour as well as poignant, often painfully honest, revelations, the book is a tour de force.  Penguin Books
