"कधी कधी वाटतं... दीदीसारख्या कलाकारांचा जीवनपट भावनिक चढउतारांतून मांडला जावा. सन तारखांचे बिंदू जोडून तयार झालेल्या चित्राला चरित्राचा आत्मा कसा लाभणार? त्यात गणिती सत्यता असेलही, पण मनातले कल्लोळ कसे उमटणार? कलाकार घटनांनी निर्माण होत नाही, सिद्ध होतो. घटना, परिस्थितीचे आघात ही जमिनीखालच्या झऱ्याला पृष्ठावर आणणारी निमित्तं. झऱ्याचं 'घडणं' मात्र न सुटणारं कोडं असतं. तो आकलनाच्या बाहेरचा चमत्कार असतो. आम्ही भावंडं एकाच वेळी एकाच परिस्थितीतून जात होतो. सर्वच जण मास्टर दीनानाथांची मुलं होतो. पण 'लता मंगेशकर' मात्र एकाच घडली.
Written by a star struck younger sister. The language sometimes reminds me of school essays. The description feels so exaggerated that I was far from getting inspired by this book. No denying the achievements of this legendary singer. But I often look for inspiration when I read a biography. This did nothing. At times the book is so diplomatic that you wonder what the actual events would have been. There were not a lot of pictures. Most of the events had already been heard in interviews or tv reports. A huge disappointment.
A must n inspiring book to read by everyone, who wants to know about the legend. A true n honest description about Lata Didi personal n professional life. Also written is the good n bad of her life. How she faced? What was her aim? How did she managed everything? A true Legend.
