The book on IPL by Roli promises to be a page-turner with a look -in at the petty politics, confusion,chaos that almost overlooked the bigger issues of security and national interests.

Mail Today, New Delhi, 19 April 2009

The book on IPL is as crisp, spicy & exciting as the cricket carnival that it writes about.

Mr Amitabh Bachchan launched the book ICONS - Men & Women who shaped today's India

7.30 p.m., Tuesday, 14 April 2009
at The Rooftop, Trident, Nariman Point, Mumbai :

Roli Books celebrated the publication of ICONS - Men & Women who shaped today's India edited by Anil Dharker.
Mr Amitabh Bachchan released the book.

Mr Amitabh Bachchan delivered an extraordinary speech (which he wrote himself!) In which he touched upon his experiences (stemming from humble disbelief at making the cut since he is for all intents and purposes “just an actor doing his job”), pondered over the intriguing definition of the word “Icon” itself, chastising the media for being unfair on occasion (which they clearly took well considering how they clambered for his attention regardless), eloquently described each of the other 19 on the list and ended up making a poignant comment on how far we’ve come and yet how frivolous all this list-making could seem and perhaps what we should be striving for is making more icons.
