An ode to the majestic life of the late Lata Mangeshkar, Lata: A Life in Music celebrates art in its totality and tells the life story of India's most loved vocal artists. The result of Yatindra Mishra's decade-long dialogue with the great singer, it also explores the lesser-known aspects of the great artist, introducing the readers to Lata Mangeshkar as an intellectual and cultural exponent and providing a rare glimpse into the person behind the revered enigma.

The power of imagination frequently surpasses that of mere knowledge. Our thoughts resonate like vivid images and sounds in our minds, often appearing more vibrant than the actual world around us. Verses that flow with rhyme provide a gentle comfort to the ears. Just as a composer weaves harmony, a poet orchestrates beauty through language.
