Written with a deep sense of gratitude bordering on reverence, Girija: A Journey through Thumri presents Girija Devi in all her manifestations singer, guru, householder, Bhakta. Amazingly, she manages to project herself as a very credible, flesh and blood person of the here and now world:
someone who can sing breathtaking compositions with the same effortless ease as she rustles up a meal and watches an Amitabh Bachchan film. Humility and majesty, non attachment and deep attachment: apparent contradictions fuse together to form the Girija Devi that Yatindra Mishra presents to us.
