Book Review : Guru Dutt - Ek Adhuri Dastaan
Writer - Yasser Usman
Translator - Mahendra Narayan Singh Yadav

I hadn’t seen Guru Dutt’s films, but always heard he was a creative genius. I read this book to believe it—and I truly do now. Yasser Usman’s writing (and Mahendra Yadav’s translation) brings Guru Dutt alive like a dramatic, emotional film. His artistic madness, personal heartbreaks, and obsession with perfection unfold like a gripping script. This is not just a biography; it’s a peek behind the curtain of a fragile, gifted soul. The tragic end hits hard. Like a classic black-and-white movie, this book lingers with silence, sadness, and sheer brilliance.

  Year 2025 | Book 7/52 Book Review: House of Doctors by Tripti Sharan House of Doctors  takes readers through the rigorous and emotional journey of a medical student, from MBBS to post-graduation in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Set in  Gwalior , the book resonated with me even more due to my personal connection with the city. Written in a simple, engaging style, the book documents real-life experiences with a mix of  humor, heartbreak, and inspiration . While the details may seem routine to doctors, they offer a  fascinating peek into the making of a doctor for lay readers. It sheds light on the  challenges, sacrifices, and resilience  of medical students—something we rarely consider as patients. An  easy, anecdotal read , this book is perfect for those curious about the medical world beyond hospital visits. Whether you’re a doctor or not, it’s a compelling and insightful journey worth exploring. #HouseOfDoctors #MedicalJourney #DoctorLife #Gwalior...
