Produktbeschreibung

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity....

These immortal lines of Charles Dickens perhaps aptly describe everything Yuva Bharat reflects. In an uncanny reflection of the times we are living in while this book is being released, it talks about what the world needs to read right now. For these are the times of COVID-19. These are the times when 'normal' has been redefined.

Author Devir traces the journey of 69 young men and women who defined their own 'new normal'. He talks about people whose worlds collapsed way before COVID-19 had hit us and who emerged victorious against undefinable odds-people of sheer grit who did not need legs to win races; people who vested their faith in the unseen; or people who rose from the ashes like the proverbial phoenix. Some of the remarkable stories include the struggles, learnings and indomitable passions of Rajkummar Rao, Kiren Rijiju, Aditi Rao Hydari, Remo D'souza, Abhinav Bindra and Chitrangada Singh, among many others, who each went on to excel in their own craft.

Yuva Bharat encompasses these tales of overcoming all odds and achieving success eventually. A compelling narrative, it takes us through life journeys and inspires us to get up in this instant and take charge of our lives. A straight shot of adrenaline, Devir gives us our carpe diem moment!

Autorenporträt

Devir Singh Bhandari is an effervescent, young Indian filmmaker, author and social entrepreneur. He is the Chairman of DSB Group and Vice President of DSB Foundation.

More prominently, he is a dreamer, an observer, a believer and a storyteller. Hailing from a family with a background in the Armed Forces, the dreamer in Devir decided to chart out his own story. Delving deeper into his quest for getting a closer look at life, Devir forayed into the magical world of film-making. Deeply in love with the process of understanding life as we know it, exploring the unknown and bringing out stories that inspire on the screen, it gave way to the idea of penning Yuva Bharat.

The backdrop of Devir's films and now his book Yuva Bharat is deeply inspired by his motherland, Indian landscapes and stories originating from this fascinating land. A true believer in the connectedness of the universe and giving back more than we take, Devir's DSB Foundation is dedicated to the cause of increasing the green cover in Delhi by rehabilitating barren land and converting it into food forest garden-a step towards a greener future besides many other initiatives. He is also in the national committee of Road Safety Task Force, Northern Region, and CSR Committee of Delhi State Council of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Delhi. He has also served as the Chair of road safety for the youth wing of CII.

Devir is the winner of several prestigious awards including the Youth Icon by 91.1 FM Radio City, Delhi City Icon Awards 2020, Young Entrepreneur of India Award by Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), the BHARAT Leadership Award for contribution towards nation building and Human Achievers Award for excellence in film-making.

With Yuva Bharat, this young achiever makes a mark once again, compelling us to ask ourselves the vital question, 'What are we choosing in our lives today? Fear or faith?'
