National Award-winning filmmaker Sanjoy Nag draws inspiration from the timeless lyrics of Gulzar and the soulful rendition of Geeta Dutt in Anubhav for his debut work of fiction, Mujhe Jaan Na Kaho Meri Jaan, published by Red Grab Books last year.

Much like its musical counterpart, the book effortlessly captures the essence of love, seamlessly blending playfulness with poignant moments, joy with melancholy, and togetherness with loneliness. Through its pages, readers embark on a journey delving into the lives of two star-crossed lovers, Sadabahaar and Purbasha, whose tale unfolds like a symphony of love, each note resonating with emotion. Beyond its title, the book exudes a distinctive Gulzar-esque essence. Like the renowned poet, lyricist, and director Gulzar, who has immortalized his iconic films in the screenplay format, Nag’s book ventures into this lesser-explored literary genre with finesse. His first attempt at writing a piece of fiction around the lives of two women who decide to give birth to their baby is a hit from the word go. He gives us a story that tugs at the heartstrings because, like love in all its hues, it is all-embracing, and his craft shines in how he has skillfully dealt with the sensitive narrative, plot and characterisation. And much like his other films that have had strong female protagonists, this one is no exception. It’s Nag’s default choice. He once told me, “It is a deliberate attempt because I am surrounded by strong women. They make my life beautiful and more meaningful. Their stories inspire me, interest me and enrich my life.” This story, like his films, is an extension of his creative template. As I turned the pages, I couldn’t help but envision the story unfolding on the silver screen. Nag’s work begs for adaptation, a cinematic journey waiting to be realized. Perhaps someday soon.

The power of valuing yourself… because you’re worth it!

In a world where external validations often take center stage, it’s easy to overlook the most crucial source of validation – our own self-worth. Valuing yourself is not just a matter of self-esteem; it’s a transformative force that can significantly impact how you interact with the world and how it responds to you.

The Secret of Self-Value:

When you see yourself as valuable, a subtle but powerful shift occurs in your aura. People around you can subconsciously sense this newfound self-assurance and self-respect, which inevitably demands respect in return. Embracing your worth sets the foundation for healthier relationships, personal growth, and professional success.

Commanding Respect:

The magic of self-value lies in its ability to effortlessly alter how you project yourself to others. As you recognize your inherent worth, your voice gains authority, and your words become more persuasive. Your body language naturally exudes dominance, without you even consciously trying to do so. This shift in energy commands respect from those around you, leading to more meaningful interactions and collaborations.

Attracting Positive Vibes:

Believing in your high value creates a magnetic aura that draws positive energy towards you. Confidence and self-assurance act as beacons that attract like-minded individuals, opportunities, and experiences. As you embody your self-worth, you’ll be surrounded by supportive people and situations aligning with your goals and aspirations.

Unleashing Your True Potential:

When you fully embrace your value, you unleash your true potential. Taking risks, pursuing your passions, and stepping out of your comfort zone becomes easier. The fear of judgment or failure diminishes, allowing you to grow and evolve. The world becomes your canvas, and you fearlessly paint your life with the colors of your dreams.

Embracing Self-Value:

The beauty of valuing yourself lies in its simplicity. It starts with a single thought deeply rooted in your mind – “I’m high value.” This belief forms the cornerstone of your self-confidence and self-esteem. When you genuinely recognize your worth, you no longer seek external validation to feel complete. You become self-reliant, empowering yourself to navigate life’s challenges with resilience.

The Ripple Effect:

Valuing yourself has a ripple effect that touches your life and the lives of those around you. As you cultivate self-love and self-respect, you become an inspiration to others. Your growth journey becomes a beacon of hope for those seeking the same transformation, encouraging them to embark on their path of self-discovery.

The importance of valuing yourself cannot be overstated. Embrace your worth, for it is the key to unlocking the doors of possibility and leading a fulfilling life. As you radiate self-assurance and self-respect, you become a force to be reckoned with – a force that inspires, uplifts, and transforms yourself and the world around you. Remember, you are high value, and the world is ready to witness the brilliance within you. Embrace it, and watch your life soar to new heights.
