Namita begins to learn singing from Dhondutai at first reluctantly and then as the years pass with growing passion. Dhondutai sees in her a second Kesar but does Namita have the dedication to give herself up completely to music?or will there always be too many late nights and cigarettes? Beautifully written full of anecdotes gossip and legend The Music Room is perhaps the most intimate book to be written about Indian classical music yet.
