They speak of hope and disaster, genius and fakery in surprising ways. And they are wickedly funny.'--JERRY PINTO\u003cbr\u003eAfter thousands of hours of training and practice, the gods of music smile upon the deserving few. Genius shines; melody and goodness reign supreme; and all is right with the world.\u003cbr\u003eOr is it?\u003cbr\u003eWhat happens, for instance, when a cunning PR brain brings together two star musicians from India and Pakistan in a concert for peace? Or when a Hindustani vocalist, long denied a foreign tour, flies from Pune to Philadelphia? Or when a small-town music teacher and a big-city businessman team up to plan a hunt for India's best new classical talent--and make a few crores in the process?\u003cbr\u003eHow does it all end when a harmonium player desirous of a Padma Shri award comes to a powerful ustad for a recommendation? Or when a Bollywood director calls a classical singer, offering to make her a sensation, like the mysterious Miss Sargam whom no one hears anymore but everyone remembers?\u003cbr\u003eAnd is it really a good idea for an old-world recording company to reinvent itself for the twenty-first century, or a devotee of a pious godwoman to compose songs for Hollywood?\u003cbr\u003eIn this, her debut work of fiction, one of India's finest and most original musicians has produced a sparkling collection--utterly distinctive, hugely entertaining and mercilessly funny.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Best Selling Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67682705277206,"sku":null,"price":299.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/5850\/6774\/files\/a1_cf120663-4a14-4802-b93d-07ebda201b81.jpg?v=1791653961","url":"https:\/\/www.kharidobecho.in\/products\/looking-for-miss-sargam-shubha-mudgal-kharidobechobooks","provider":"KharidobechoBooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
