Do you live to eat or eat to live? Well, Pandit
Chintamani EATS to live! However, on one occasion
he out-surpasses his own greed. Not only does he
connive to exclude his best friend and colleague
from a lucrative 'eating assignment', but tries to
pass off his wife in male attire as a new acolyte!
But greed as they say was his downfall… even
literally! Munshi Premchand at his comic best!

conscience tells him that this is the price he
must pay for his moral lapse… Listen on, Munshi

Ajit Kumar remembers Harivansh
Rai Bachchan
|
|
Renowned
Hindi writer Ajit Kumar remembers the great poet
Harvansh Rai Bachchan. As one of his dearest disciples,
Ajit Kumar gives us some rare glimpses of the
poet's life. He says Bachchan was a strict teacher,
Jawahrlal Nehru's Hindi adviser and of course a great
poet. And very few of us know that Harivansh Rai and
Teji Bachchan were disciplined and organised
parents and their household was a typical Allahabadi Sangam of tradition and modernity, that later
reflected in many of the films and songs of their son
Amitabh Bachchan. History Talking.com presents the life
story of Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
