It also chronicles this mans struggle from childhood to the position he holds today, and how he creates a unique identity of success in everything he does. Javed Sahibs father, Jan Nisars poem, Lamha, Lamha Kisi Jaadu Ka Fasana Hoga, was the inspiration behind the name. When the young boy was in the first grade of school, everyone felt that Jaadu wasnt a serious name. So, to keep a word as close to magic as possible, his name was changed to Javed (meaning immortal) Akhtar (meaning star)the immortal star! Javed has not only remained in the headlines ever since, but he continues to shine like an immortal star. Javed Sahib has been honored with numerous awards and decorations, notably the Padma Shri (1999), the Avadh Samman (Uttar Pradesh) (2001), the Indira Gandhi National Unity Award (2005), and the Padma Bhushan (2007). Javed Akhtar has always strived to empower people through his work, whether it be in the cultural sphere or fighting for writers rights. Jaadoonama is packed with rare information and fascinating anecdotes from Javed Akhtars life. It would be no exaggeration to call the book a vast window into Javed Sahibs journey. Looking back on his life, he consistently refused to follow the prevailing narrative and never took the beaten path. Driven by the winds of humanity, Javed Sahib is like a ship sailing the ocean, anchored at many ports of time. Despite having traveled a long journey in life and achieved every milestone of success, Javed Akhtar firmly believes that where one has reached cannot be ones destination. The destination is always a little further ahead. As long as it is ahead and moving forward, a person is alive, as stated in this couplet: This was the limit of our passion, as soon as we set foot, the destination was the path. Clearly, this ship is still sailing through the waves of the ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manjul Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45880005099718,"sku":"DADAX935543233X","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/91NwXPtWcYL.jpg?v=1779721787","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/jadunama-javed-akhtar-ek-safar-hindi","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
