Sheo Khetan
I am always asking people of my age or older to write their autobiographies. Ours have been a most interesting generation having witnessed unprecendented changes in the world. I will not bore you with a list, you already know. We have gone through so much and have had so many good and bad experiences that will be lost forever, if not written down. Of course, practice what you preach, I am writing my own autobiography!
My very dear friend, Sheo Khetan has already published the first part tracing the history of his ancestors starting from the Middle Ages to his student days in the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. In these two books he continues the story after he arrived in the US for higher studies, his marriage, his four sons, his jobs until 2005. As before, he has decorated it with hundreds of rare color photos.
Both books are in color, US Letter size paperback, pages 181 and 483, respectively.

RMIM Articles 2. About Films
Prof Surjit Singh
As I have mentioned before, classic RMIMers ran many series for many years, there content generated at least 6,000 pages.
I had thought of compiling a big book, but considering the sheer size of the work wrote a Minibus on the 25th anniversary.
Now I am coming back to compiling books on different series. The first series is articles and this is the first book.
[I think it will take about 20 books of about 300 pages each to do the job properly.]
Paperback, US Letter, 161 pages.
