ONCE THERE WAS ME
Bobby Sachdeva
Caught in the web of communal violence repeatedly, Bobby Sachdeva stares at his burning house set afire by the bloodthirsty mob of the anti-Sikh riots in Delhi. As a fourteen year- old, his world turns upside down, exactly at the age his father had escaped from Pakistan during the Partition of India. Recovering from the trauma, Bobby re-builds his business and journeys across the US and China, experiencing a life unhindered by religious animosity. Having experienced both sides of religion – of immersion and detachment – he starts questioning the role of religion in our lives. Based on his vision of an emergent India, Bobby finally submits a PIL in the Supreme Court for religious shrines to distribute their excess income for the downtrodden. What happens next as religious hardliners turn against him?
Sachdeva has produced nine short films in Hindi and three feature films in Punjabi and started a fully equipped studio, Ajab Productions, in his hometown Amritsar where he lives with his family.
The production of his first full-length Hindi film will begin in 2021.
MY REVIEW
This is my first book from the Author Bobby Sachdeva. The reason behind picking up this book was the beautiful and ever so appealing cover of this book.
This book talks about
the struggles of the Author and his family and Punjabis in general, for example
Operation Blue Star which started in Punjab, in which man innocents were
killed.
The religion barriers
which the Author used to face, it talks about every problem that the Author had
to face throughout his journey of life and how he overcame them.
A really good book
which will definitely make you emotional with the way The author tried to
portray every single incident of his life.
I strongly recommend this beautiful book to every one of you.
