Pictures shot so brilliantly in the urban as well as rural surroundings not only depict appropriately the religious, historical and modern monuments but also describe graphically day to day life of a common man. Legendary tales of love, which flourished here, literature, music and dances of Punjab, the Punjabi entrepreneurship that has made a mark on the world, and much more will entrall the reader.
