Noted filmmaker, writer, commentator Saeed Mirza takes a personal and political journey with his latest book, "I Know the Psychology of Rats", illustrated by Nachiket Patwardhan. Their intelligently imagined book revisits the FTII in the seventies, the anti-Sikh violence in 1984, the Babri masjid's destruction, film censorship and much more, both remembered and forgotten. Patwardhan prepares a canvas for Mirza's feelings about Kundan Shah as they illustrate the limits and possibilities of friendship and their growing unease with changing India.
