If the West had its Swinging Sixties, Hindi cinema had its Seventies. Everything that journalists today call 'retro' when referring to Bollywood is a product of the 1970s. But to refer to the decade as 'swinging' and 'retro' is missing the wood for the trees. The 1970s is the most influential decade of Hindi cinema. Not the 1950s, not the 1960s which unapologetic nostalgists hark back to.

Bei 451 Grad Fahrenheit "fängt Bücherpapier Feuer und verbrennt". In dem Staat, den Bradbury in eine nahe Zukunft projiziert, ist die Feuerwehr nicht mehr mit Wasserspritzen ausgerüstet, sondern mit Flammenwerfern, die genau diesen Hitzegrad erzeugen, um die letzten Zeugnisse individualistischen Denkens - die Bücher - zu vernichten.

Twelve-year-old Douglas Spaulding knows Green Town, Illinois, is as vast and deep as the whole world that lies beyond. It is a pair of new tennis shoes, the first harvest of dandelions for Grandfather's renowned intoxicant, the distant clang of the trolley bell on a hazy afternoon. But as young Douglas is about to discover, summer can be more than the repetition of established rituals that hold time at bay.

In the fall of 1978, Ray Ordorica packed everything he thought he would need into his Toyota LandCruiser and drove north to Alaska. He came to a land he had never seen, to find something he wasn't even sure existed: a wilderness cabin he could use for a year or more to live, think, relax, read, and write. Ordorica found his cabin, fixed it up, and, although it was just an un-insulated 12- by 16-foot one-room log structure, he spent three winters in it in relative comfort.

If things had gone Jignesh Shah's way, he would have been the Czar of Exchanges, a sterling exponent of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Make in India' programme. Shah pioneered creation of 10 new-generation regulated multi-asset (equity, commodity, currency, bond and electricity) financial markets just in 10 years across India, Singapore, Dubai, and Africa. No innovator has been credited with such accomplishments across the world.
