WELL PLAYED: From Here to Eternity! by Dr Rajeev Bagarhatta | Book review

Book review :

"Well Played "is an inspiring story about a remarkable individual who rose from humble origins to medical eminence through sheer grit and perseverance. The book is set fortuitously in the backdrop of Tokyo Paralympics 2021, which reignited discussions on the role of medicine and rehabilitation in sports.

This book is a compelling read about Jagdish Prasad Bagarhatta, a sports instructor in a medical college, who seeks to apply his inherent curiosities and the basics of sports physiology to the principles of cardiac rehabilitation when it was still nascent in India in the 1970s. His lasting contributions to medicine serve as a monument to his unrelenting commitment and unyielding pursuit of greatness.

Bagarhatta’s endeavours take the reader through the toils and torments of a common man, a sports person, knocking to enter the medical world, and then succeeding in making cardiac rehabilitation acceptable. The pages are replete with complex situations challenging Jagdish’s personal and professional life and deliver message of optimism and tenacity.

Overall, "Well Played" is a compelling , fascinating memoir that guides the way chosen by a common man to succeed in life. It serves as a reminder that ordinary individuals can accomplish remarkable feats when they believe in themselves and seize the right opportunities.

I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...
