Let us go over it again. Note SS is me.

In preparation for the book, SS watched more than one hundred videos of her (put together by Tom Daniel), he was struck by the other faces in the background who danced in many of these songs. It occurred to him that a book should be written about them while we can still identify them.

So, SS requested his friend Narsingh D Agnish to watch all the videos and capture still images of her co-dancers. He painstakingly captured almost 1,000 images, of which about 500 were selected to be sent to Edu by email. She responded promptly identifying most of them and writing little notes about them in the bargain!

We have selected about 300 of those images for this book. We are thrilled that we have been able to put names to so many faces of her co-dancers.

All three of us loved working on this book, we hope you will enjoy it too and have the excitement of saying, “I know her, she is Pamela, Edu’s best friend. Or, I recognize him, he is Terence, Edu’s brother!”

 

It was supposed to be a gift for her 80th birthday, but we announced it earlier because of her India trip.

A Facebook friend mentioned that the photo of Mohanlal Dave I posted looked like that of Jhaverchand Meghani, a famous Gujarati writer. However, the photo I posted was given to Kaushik Bhaumik by Virachand Dharamsey, both very reliable.

Here I am posting a photo of Mohanlal Dave from Harish Raghuvanshi's book Inhen Na Bhulana and a photo of Jhaverchand Meghani printed in his novel Kalchakra.
