Stitching Stardom: The Designer Who Dressed Bollywood’s Villains, Stars, and Politicians | Includes personal reflections by Johny Lever, Gulshan Grover, Paresh Rawal, and others

In this compelling memoir, Stitching Stardom, Madhav Agasti takes readers on a journey through his remarkable five-decade-long career as a renowned men’s dress designer. From his humble beginnings in Mumbai with no formal training, Agasti’s story is one of perseverance, passion, and adaptability. Known for his work in Bollywood, where he designed costumes for over 350 films—including the iconic villain Mogambo in Mr India (1987)—and for some of India’s most influential political figures, including Balasaheb Thackeray, Agasti’s life is a testament to the power of following one’s dreams against all odds.

With candid stories about the challenges he faced, the people he met, and the moments that defined his career, Agasti reflects on the personal and professional transformations that shaped his legacy. This book is more than just a chronicle of tailoring—it’s a celebration of resilience, a look into the worlds of fashion, entertainment, and politics, and an inspiring message about staying true to one’s passion through life’s inevitable changes.

A heartfelt tribute to those who have supported him along the way, this memoir offers a window into the life of a man who stitched together not only clothes, but memories and milestones that have defined an era.

Thank You for Leaving

The more I give you,
the emptier I feel.
I think I’ll be okay again
when I ask you to leave.

Dear reader,

I wrote this book for the ones who feel everything too deeply. The rare souls who still listen to their hearts and believe in love. The ones who don’t hurt others just because they’re in pain. The ones who wear their hearts on their sleeves and carry kindness within. The ones who overthink, over-invest in people and over-love, always.

This book is an ocean full of feelings, so if at any point, you feel like you’re drowning, take a moment to remind yourself that it’s a privilege to feel emotions as intensely as you do. Some people are so disconnected from their hearts that they don’t allow themselves to feel anything at all.

That being said, I wish you a happy reading. This book will make you cry.

Love,
Rithvik

Sahitya Ka Manosandhan / साहित्य का मनोसंधान

हिंदी में निबंध लेखन की स्वस्थ परंपरा रही है। साहित्य का मनोसंधान उसी की दिलचस्प व पठनीय कड़ी है। कथा साहित्य में लेखक वस्तुस्थिति के समांतर एक संसार रचता है; निबंध में उससे सीधे मुठभेड़ करता है। दोनों तरह के लेखन का प्रमुख स्वर, भिन्न नज़रिया और प्रचलित मान्यता से प्रतिरोध हो सकता है, जो मृदुला गर्ग का है। निबंध में उसकी अभिव्यक्ति के लिए स्वरचित किरदारों का सहारा नहीं लेना पड़ता। तथ्यों की आँखों में आँखें डाल कर उनकी मनोवैज्ञानिक पड़ताल की जा सकती है। समाज, व्यवस्था और व्यक्ति के परस्पर घात प्रतिघात का सीधे जायजा लिया जा सकता है। मात्र विश्लेषण करके नहीं। प्रज्ञा और सौंदर्य बोध के प्रयोग से रस और रसोक्ति, दोनों पैदा कर के। इस पुस्तक में मनोसंधान का फलक खूब विस्तृत और गहन है। इसमें केवल बौद्धिक छटपटाहट नहीं, हार्दिक संवेदन और मनोरंजन है।

Hindutva and Hind Swaraj: History’s Forgotton Doubles | The Battle of Ideas in Indian History and Politics | Hindu Identity, Nationalism, and Democracy

A close reading of the persistent antagonisms in Indian history, Hindutva and Hind Swaraj focuses on the ideological clash between Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, representing the broader ideological, political, and cultural factions within Hindu and Indian society. The central argument is that this antagonism continues to influence national life, both politically and personally, reflecting two contrasting ideologies: Hindutva and Hind Swaraj.
Divided into three parts, the first part addresses the lack of historical records in ancient India and the importance of creating a national history to reclaim India’s past. In the part second part, the author examines the discovery of India’s cultural and historical identity, the impact of colonialism, and the need for a balanced discourse that acknowledges the complexity and diversity of Indian society. While the third looks at the e contemporary political landscape, the rise of Hindutva, and the ongoing struggle between Gandhi’s vision of non-violent resistance and Savarkar’s advocacy of armed rebellion. It highlights the unresolved tensions between these two ideologies and their implications for India’s future.
The book emphasizes the need for a new approach to understanding and reconciling these differences, suggesting that a balanced discourse and a deeper inquiry into the nature of nationalism, democracy, and Indian society are essential for creating a new India.
