8 class summary of Maestro with a Mission
Answers
An avid book reader would conspicuously have that corner of his bookshelf reserved for some of his "special" books - books that just cannot be put down, books that command multiple reads and books that inspire! It might be a common predicament for a reader of fiction, but for an artiste, seldom does this "phenomenon" happen for the book shelf needs to be filled in the first place.
Let me direct the bluntly sarcastic opinion to a more pleasing view that such books do exist in classical arts and dance too! "Dr Vempati: A Maestro With A Mission - a book penned by Andavalli Satyanarayana and Pemmaraju Surya Rao as a tribute to Dr. Vempati Chinna Satyam fits perfectly into the frame of what could be called the "Best capture of a journey".
The book is a superlative effort, if I am not exaggerating. When I picked it up from one of those old looking stores in Vijayawada, it felt that the whole world ticked me into the bargain. Be it the shop - an eternal heaven for book worms to breed in, or the antique looking book itself (justifying its publication dated 1994) or the rustic aura from the pages of the book or the wonderfully alluring photo of the maestro, there was no way I could leave it (In spite of it being a damaged copy with some pages going without print!).
