This is a 90- year old rare book republished by Inking innovations.

Tikekar had travelled to Peshavar, Quetta, Tehran, etc. as a special correspondent of the Kesari newspaper. These are places that were not on the popular travel map. This travelogue may be the first of its kind in Marathi.

ASM LitClub Programme on Thursday, 14th March, 2019, at 5.30 p.m.
We are happy to invite you to a show in Hindi titled "Do Sitarein" that will take place in the Durbar Hall on Thursday 14th March at 5.30 p.m.
The show attempts to capture the quintessence of the literary stirrings of Sahir Ludhianavi and Shailendra. These two poets, who reigned supreme in Hindi cinema in the 1950s and '60s, distilled human experiences with rare sensitivity and reflected on life's myriad moods in their film songs. In their attempt to blend popular cinema with literature, they succeeded to a large extent.
