There are many reasons to read Biographies. Maybe they remind us of our own childhood, or maybe they take us to a creative place only the privileged can reach. Today, we discuss the story of the man who made Alisha Chinai happy in that one iconic video, but who prefers to talk about running today: Milind Soman. Then we delve into the life of one of the most iconic classical musicians ever, Ustad Vilayat Khan, chronicled beautifully by Namita Devidayal.

This is episode #8 of Bookasur, talking about Biographies, growing up in the 90s, doing 20 pushups, and that time Madan Mohan stole a tune from a classical concert.

Books featured:

Made in India, by Milind Soman and Roopa Pai, published by Penguin India.

The Sixth String of Vilayat Khan, by Namita Devidayal, published by Context India.
