A very straight-forward and honest autobiography of not just ustad ji but bits and pieces from all of his family members.
(For a while I felt it was better with just Ustadjis point of view, but I think the family is oriented towards doing things together! A value from Hindustan)
I loved the way in which ustadji has literally taken Rampur gharana to the whole world.
It is full of small anecdotes making up the big story of Ustadjis life. His dream is very inspiring for all artists..

Learnt a lot about ustad Ghulam Mustafa khan sahib and his dedication for music. He showed us and made us visualise, what it takes to be a Classical singer. The fact that he was blessed by ustad Ghulam Ali Khan ji himself, gave me goosebumps.
Rest in peace ustadji 🙏🏻

This book shows what it takes to be a vocalist like Ustad Ghulam Mustafa khan sahab. His commitment to music was not ordinary. The madness and dedication for his art made him what he is today.
