About this listen

In this memoir, narrated in Karan Thapar's trademark incisive style, the author relates different stories from his life, from personal anecdotes about his childhood, college days and marriage to his encounters with various well-known personalities in the course of anchoring his TV shows.

Find out about Karan Thapar's friendship in university and later with Benazir Bhutto; his short-lived yet memorable stint as a foreign correspondent with The Times under the tutelage of Charles Douglas-Home; his entry into news television; and why no one from the BJP agrees to appear on his shows any more.

Interesting book, gives you an idea how journalists play a role in the corridors of power. Seems very disarming and truthful of the author.

Insightful

When I started reading this book, I thought, it could barely hold my interest for one or two chapters. but now, when I finished this book in one go, it is hard to believe. In fact, I realized, how wrong or myopic I was. It begun with intrigued anecdote of personal achievement and excellent take off of career potential as journalist. But I couldn't realized, when I engrossed in it. As it started unfolding intricacy of some of exceptional events, incredibly narrated, like mysterious enigma of plotted conspiracy, I couldn't hold myself back without eating it out. it is like a biography of hundred men in one man's autobiography. You will get chance to know behind the scene's stories of so many great veteran and legendary, distinguished politicians, actors, businessmen and cricketer; Barack Obama, Amitabh Bachchan, General Parvez Muzaffar, Benazir bhutto, J.J Latitha, Sachin Tendulkar, P.V Narasimha Rao, Antal Bihari Bajpaee and so on.

Liked this book, more of an autobiography. Last chapters should have also talked about the writer and his life.

Excellent book

Senior & honest journalist, Karan Thapar takes you on a journey of his life, telling you honestly about his friendship with Benazir Bhutto, Aung Sung Sui Kei and others and his interactions with politicians, celebrities, sports personnel and actors. Really remarkable is his recollection of interviewing four prime ministers and it confirms the large-held opinion that the existing one has a very pussilanimous heart who never forgets and forgives.
A must read for all who wants to know and understand how a real journalist interacts with people.
