ALI(VE) in Bits And Pieces by Ali Peter John.

He describes how he happened to send a postcard to the famous Indian writer Khwaja Ahmad Abbas and his subsequent employment in Blitz and Screen. He ends his poignant story with his thoughts on God, Humanity, Life and Death. All in all an engrossing book.

This is the second edition of his earlier autobiography, Life in Bits and Pieces, a bestseller translated into many languages.
