he told me very early in life, don't think of me, be a first rate Parikshit Saini, don't
be a third rate Bhagrat Saini, don't copy me and be yourself. I have not ever taken

Hello, welcome to Outlook Bibliophile. Today we have veteran actor Parikshit Saini with
us who has come out with a riveting biography of his father, the late Balraj Saini, the
iconic actor. Sir, when this idea of writing a biography of your father occurred to you?

CJLC Editor Kena Chavva interviews Daisy Rockwell, a writer and translator of Hindi and Urdu-language literature, on her new English-language translation of Geetanjali Shree’s Hindi novel, Tomb of Sand. Tomb of Sand tells the story of an eighty-year old woman’s relationship with her daughter after her husband dies.

Despite the gravity of the issues in the novel, it maintains a playful, experimental style, and thus urges its readers not to abandon levity in the face of tragedy.
Rockwell’s translation of Tomb of Sand (Tilted Axis Press, ) was longlisted for the International Booker Prize, and is the first ever Hindi novel to be shortlisted.
