  *The Art of Discarding* by Nagisa Tatsumi offers practical advice on how to part with unnecessary possessions. Part 1 outlines attitudes for decluttering, Part 2 provides specific strategies, and Part 3 focuses on emotional aspects of letting go. While the book is structured well, some content feels repetitive, though the core message is valuable.  #BookReview #TheArtOfDiscarding #Decluttering #Minimalism #nagisatatsumi

After watching *Angry Young Men*  (review on   https://thefilmiangle.blogspot.com/2024/08/angry-young-men.html ), I craved more about Salim-Javed’s genius. Enter Diptakirti Chaudhuri's *Written by Salim-Javed*, which not only quenched my thirst but transported me into their world of cinema. Through few pages only, “yeh kitaab mujhe de de Thakur” kept echoing in my mind. As the book unveiled the grit behind the iconic dialogues, the nuances of their process, and their chemistry that birthed unforgettable scripts, I realised that “unki imagination ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi, namumkin hai”. This book captures the essence of their writing, leaving you awestruck.  Truly, “kitne aadmi the” who can match their brilliance? And really “Sardaar do aadmi The”. A must-read for Bollywood lovers seeking more than just surface-level stories and say “Mere pass yeh kitaab hai”.
