Review- “Wonderful Whites” has been penned by first time
author Dr. Diwakar Bansal. Set against the backdrop of Dr. S.N. Medical
College, Jodhpur, the novel delineates the trials and tribulations of medical
students as they take small but sure steps on their journey to finally becoming
a “DOCTOR”.
“Wonderful Whites” took me down the memory lane and with Dr.
S.N. Medical College, Jodhpur being my alma mater, every event depicted in the
story was relatable. Right from the announcement of PMT results to the
hilarious anecdotes of ragging and the vasovagal episodes during the first
dissection class of Anatomy, nostalgia was evoked. Any medical professional
reading this book would feel the same; I am sure of that.
The author describes in detail the trip of a “MEDICO” from
first semester to the final “prof” university exams. The arduous nature of
medical studies, the immense pressure of performing well in the university
exams and the expectations of parents from their wards are all beautifully
depicted here. The inter-group rivalries and college politics also find a place
in the narrative. The bad guy with a good heart- Anurag is the antagonist. A subtle love story serves as the proverbial icing on the cake.
Every coin has two sides, as they say. On the downside, the
narrative tends to be linear at times and the story meanders a bit. The
grammatical errors disrupt the flow of the story. With a bit of editing and
in-depth proof reading, this book can scale greater heights.
To sum up, “Wonderful Whites” is a commendable effort from
Dr. Diwakar Bansal. Looking forward to more gems from a doctor who wields a
“surgeon’s knife” and a “writer’s quill” with equal finesse.
