The sun was setting outside. The train was moving
through the lush-green farmland. Apart from a mot hill here and there,
it was plains. I could see through window people outside, busy in
farming activity. Few cattle gazed here and there on hinterland

‘Guru’ is something you can call the Director’s
special. Seeing it is a memorable experience. In fact, when it ends, you

It’s a big house we own. It’s full of diverse people
with diverse interests. Not every one of them knows the other. In fact,
most of them are scarcely aware of the existence of others. Though, they
