When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

 

A tragic book but Paul Kalanidhi is definitely a winner.  A neurosurgeon by profession; aspiring to be a scientist; the aspirations of the author is prematurely culminated by fate. When a doctor becomes a patient he is no different from other patients, he is also human. Living for the day, for the moment is not such an easy task. Love, affection, and care take away the pain and suffering. Immortal memories can be created even if life is lived for a short period.  “Human knowledge is never contained in one person. It grows from the relationships we create between each other and the world, and still, it is never complete.” The loss is not just for the family but to the medical society; a talented hardworking compassionate neurosurgeon is lost at 36 years. His contribution if alive would have been tremendous to the society/world. This is a must-read or all book lovers.
