Irshad Panjatan

These memoirs contain the rich tapestry of the life of
acclaimed mime artist and actor Irshad Panjatan, comprised
of beautifully poetic observations of his life, and the wider
historical circumstanes that framed them. We meet personalities
like Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Nargis, and Nehru, as well as
contemporaries like M. S. Sathyu, and Naseeruddin Shah.
In the Arabian desert he learned the principles of astronomy,
in Istanbul he swam in the Bosporus, and in Scandinavia he got
introduced to the secrets of the Finnish sauna. Ever a wanderer,
the quest of his life is not fame and success, but the curiosity of
one who remains forever open to the wonders
of the world.
