On the 70th birthday of maverick hotelier Aman Nath, publication of A Remarkable Friendship by Yogi Vaid Announced
A memoir looking back across 6 decades, it unfolds the story of a true friendship & details their incredible lives.
On the 70th birthday of maverick hotelier Aman Nath, the publication of 'A Remarkable Friendship' by Yogi Vaid is announced. Inadvertently the lives of two boys cross paths because of their early brilliance. The year is 1959 and they have just crossed over from kindergarten to Junior Modern School, New Delhi.
Yogi Vaid narrates this very personal autobiographical tale looking back across six decades, revealing the warp and weft of his friendship with Aman Nath. The book unfolds the plan of both destiny and conscious action in two parallel lives. The adventure to restore Neemrana begins. Aman’s incredible friendship with Francis Wacziarg unfolds in their intimate correspondence, published posthumously for the first time after the latter departed with a ‘blink of a blue eye’. India matures out of its colonial shell and Section 377 of the Constitution is abrogated.
101 eminent friends, as well as members of the family and associates, join in to make this commemorative book a peep into why the French President honours Aman Nath’s lifelong work with the Legion d’Honneur. Meanwhile, a full cycle is completed in the lives of two friends coalescing back into an auspicious eighteenth-century haveli which is re-restored by Aman for the posterities after Yogi.
Yogi Vaid studied for his B.Com (Honours) from the Shri Ram College of Commerce and his MBA from the Faculty of Management Studies, Delhi, till the equestrian goods his father long exported galloped off with a readymade career. He trained with his buyers in the US, Australia and Germany. His family firm is in its seventieth year, earning goodwill and winning awards. He has spent the last many years building his second, third and fourth homes – all designed by Aman Nath – as a haveli, a fort and a historical fortified country home.
