India, Nov. 12 -- Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, 55, tells gripping, unforgettable stories of today's India. Of people lost and finding their way. Of love that doesn't have to be eternal. He doesn't draw inspiration from cinema, but from life itself, he has said. Ali began writing poetry as a schoolboy in Jamshedpur. As a student of Delhi University, he became immersed in theatre, and his journey as a storyteller began. He moved to Mumbai, and began directing for TV while still in his 20s. "I think television is the only film school I ever went to." He tells stories of an India we inhabit, recognise, and intimately know.
