Bharwani to share experiences (Medicine Hat News)
By Courtney Gillies
Dr. Noorali Bharwani wants to say thank you, celebrate the completion
of his first book and support a local charity all at the same time.
A Doctor’s Journey: An emotional and humourous look at life through the
eyes of a doctor, is Bharwanis first book and was released two weeks
ago. On Thursday, Bharwani is hosting a book party at the Medicine Hat
College courtyard from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The evening will include a book signing and refreshments.
Twenty-five per cent of the proceeds from the book sale that evening will be donated to the Medicine Hat News Santa Claus Fund.
I want to say thank you to lots of friends who have helped me. The
people of Medicine Hat have been wonderful and without their support
for my column and for me in town here for 21 years nothing would have
happened.
Bharwani has been writing a medical column for The News for
approximately nine years. The book includes several of Bharwani’s
newspaper columns, however many of them have been updated or revised,
he noted. The self-published book includes 28 chapters on various
subjects, such as his childhood and writing for The News.
One of Bharwani’s favourite chapters is the one where he talks about his mother and father.
Bharwani said the response to his book since its release has been good.
I get lots of comments. Those who havent bought it are thinking of
buying it, said Bharwani. I think the momentum is building and Im
happy with the response Ive had from people.
Bharwani has plans to start on his second book after Christmas once he has finish promoting A Doctors Journey.
Ive got to sell this one first. Ive got to make room in my office,
said Bharwani. I have a couple of ideas, but I havent looked into a
crystal ball and said which one would be the best one yet.
A Doctor’s Journey is $18 and can be purchased at various locations
around the city, including the Medicine Hat News office on Dunmore Road.
