G. M. Syed is an anomaly among politicians. His reputation has survived miscalculations that would have annihilated most political leaders. A politician’s handbook would disapprove of his moves. But his followers sensed that like mystics, their leader followed his heart and his instincts, and while he did not lead them to immediate victories perhaps he pointed in the direction of a dimly perceived universal good.

The most memorable film songs during the last six decades have been ones that were based on raags. Old or new, these songs are soul-stirring, even for those who don't even have rudimentary knowledge of classical music.
The singers include Saigal, Noor Jahan, Lata, Talat, Rafi, Manna Dey and Iqbal Bano. Review

Perhaps the only criticism one can have about this book is the title itself. It wrongly limits the book to women alone, as the sheer
variety of solutions to everyday problems the book encompasses within its 532 pages allows the book to be used by men and women alike.

There is mention of events in the book that you would never come across in any newspaper. The book reads like a political thriller. Review
