Book Review: The Music Room by Namita Devidayal

Introduction ISBN 978-8-184-00054-2 Genre Fiction Pages 310 Publisher   Random House India Price Rs. 295/- ( I got this book for review from the publisher) Having learnt Carnatic music (instrumental) for 8 years I share a very beautiful bond with music. I believe music is the language of the soul. The biggest example for this is my music teacher - who is suffering from Alzheimer’s today and has forgotten everything but music; the moment you start playing any musical piece her fingers automatically start drumming the talam. Isn’t it astounding? There are many reasons why I chose this book. Firstly and most importantly for it is about a guru and a shishya, which reminded me of my teacher, secondly it about learning music and thirdly it is about learning much more than just music. It is about learning how to live, love, listen to your heart and most importantly know your real self. All this makes The Music Room by Namita Devidayal a very special read for me....
