520 _aA sparkling collection of seventeen character sketches, The Blue Potter: The Creative Genius of Punjab is a moving and deeply personal tribute to some of Punjab’s most iconic personalities who have shaped India’s social, political, cultural, and literary soul. Sahitya Akademi Award-winning author Ajeet Cour regales us with unrecorded, unheard, and undisclosed stories of the creative legends of her time with signature candour and insight. Cour offers rare glimpses into the inner world of Amrita Pritam, the simplicity and genius of Khushwant Singh, the fakir-like humility of poet-politician V. P. Singh, and the poetic brilliance of Shiv Kumar Batalvi. Her sketches capture the calm and restraint of Kartar Singh Duggal, extol the overlooked contributions of Mohinder Singh Randhawa, showcase the regality of Krishna Sobti, eulogize the literary voice of Padma Sachdev, and hail Jagjit Singh’s mastery over ghazals. The Blue Potter is special not just because of the dazzling list of personalities it features, but also for the affection, wit, and deep emotional insight with which Ajeet Cour tells their stories. It is a memorable celebration of some of the country’s greatest legends of art, music, and literature. https://www.alephbookcompany.com/book/the-blue-potter-the-creative-genius-of-punjab/
