The name of this book came from something devised Chuck Daly, who explained it as“… we forced him left and doubled him. If he was on the left wing, we went immediately to a double team from the top. If he was on the right wing, we went to a slow double team. He could hurt you equally from either wing—hell, he could hurt you from the hot-dog stand—but we just wanted to vary the look. And if he was on the box, we doubled with a big guy.… any time he went by you, you had to nail him. If he was coming off a screen, nail him. We didn't want to be dirty—I know some people thought we were—but we had to make contact and be very physical.”What is the title?

Author X wrote a New Yorker piece in 2012 to provide a secondary source in a dispute over a Wikipedia article that suggested that his novel Y was based loosely on the life of one Anatole Broyard.
X wrote that that it was based on an incident involving Princeton professor Mel Tumin, who in 1985 noted in the middle of a semester that two students had registered for his class but never shown up for class or explained their absence. Tumin said “Does anyone know these people? Do they exist or are they spooks?”. Spook was a pejorative for Blacks and Tumin was hauled before the Dean. The novel Y opens with an identical incident. X and Y?

When asked if he travelled with the person whose biography he was writing, he said “ we spent many hours and days working together in England. While I spend my summers in Oxford researching my academic projects, he spends a considerable amount of time in the UK in summer. So again it was not a problem co-ordinating dates and times. What transpired is the end product! But the sessions were fantastic. We had many meals together and for me it was a process of discovering the man who hardly anyone except his family know. His quirks, his habits, likes and dislikes and his obsession for perfection. It was fascinating.” Further, when asked about how he convinced the author, he says “I kept telling him that the book is important for posterity. It is through the prism of the man's career that we can best understand contemporary India.”Author, subject and the book please.

An excellent review on Hollywood reporter. “Presenting India as a severely dysfunctional state with one foot in the 19th century and one in the 21st, this slow-burning procedural breaks little new ground in formal terms but was of sufficient distinction to nab top honors . The director excels with an ensemble that seamlessly combines professionals and non-pros and weaves together dialogue in multiple languages”

Before her death, X was a celebrated blogger, editor and was part of the reddit.com journal “India Abroad”. Her husband Y is a Sahitya Academy award winning novelist, whose father(Z) is a reputed writer/columnist who contributed a column titled “Point of View” dealing with China, corruption and politics in The New Indian Express.
Z is also a biographer and his biography of P(0.5), took almost 10 years to complete. Z says that he spoke to 300 people but he never met P for an official interview, thereby making his book an independent biography.
A section of this book deals with a “sorry spectacle” from 1966, where P’s partner, with the view of “gilding the lily”, made P do something unique at an important event. The idea for this, according to P’s partner, originated from General K.M. Cariappa. P’s partner sought Rajaji's approval and Rajaji himself was “involved” in gilding the lily.

“Now we all know that its both fashionable and lucrative to declare these days that one does _____ music. Never mind the fact that a lot of the nouveau _____ singers may not know whether this declaration refers to a genre or form of music or the poetic content of a song. With so many self styled _____ experts running around a dime a dozen, I m not sure I want to say this, but it has to do with In the midst of a whole host of freshman pseudo ___ singers there are those who have kept alive a family tradition.”

In an interview to published on Edible Geography, the founder of this business says “I lived on 63rd Street between First and York. Easy access to the 59th Street bridge meant you could get out of New York quickly, so in that two or three block neighbour hood, there was a pile of airline stewardesses — and for whatever reason, there was also a whole bunch of models. Basically, a lot of single people all lived between 60th and 65th and between York Avenue and 3rd Avenue. It seemed to me that the best way to meet girls was to open up a bar”“The other thing is that my timing was exquisite, because I opened __________ the exact year the pill was invented. I happened to hit the sexual revolution on the head, and the result was that, without really intending it, I became the founder of the first such enterprise”. What New York business chain am I talking about?

Mani Shankar Aiyer, in his review of MJ Akbar’s Tinderbox: the past and future of Pakistan, contends that the most telling aphorism, that will outlast the book itself, as: if Jinnah was the Father of Pakistan, _______ _______ was its Godfather.He adds that ______ has mattered as little in the politics of Pakistan as he as loomed large in the ideology of Pakistan. Yet, his powerful presence in the mind of Pakistan is, indeed, the root cause of Akbar’s other felicitous aphorism: that the Idea of India is stronger than the Indian while the Idea of Pakistan is weaker than the Pakistan. Identify this scholar who has, ironically, opposed to the creation of Pakistan for he(and his group) rejected the ideal nationalism based on territory.
