Dr. Mira Dutta had spent years teaching obstetrics at the city medical college, her lecture hall a small kingdom where generations of students learned to listen for heartbeats and the quiet language of labor. Late one rainy evening she sat alone in the library, an old PDF—marked “D. C. Dutta — Obstetrics (Extra Quality?)” in a student’s scrawl—open on the table. The file name was odd, an artifact of hurried scans and the internet’s tangled archive, but the text inside was familiar: careful chapters, wise case studies, a steady, human voice.
