Sinopsis

Five doctors. One hospital. A cacophony orchestrated by forced silence, ruptured memories and the quiet fight to belong.When Dr Silva receives a bangle, it threatens to unravel the life she has so carefully constructed.Around her, four colleagues carry burdens of their own. There is Dr Ankit, who fled a broken system in India and is now struggling to find a sense of homein a country that sees him as a stranger, Dr Pooja, poised on the outside but aching beneath thesurface, Dr Shashi, brilliant yet adrift in the ubiquity of human connections, and Dr Jindal, a pillarof the diaspora, undone by a grief too vast to articulate. In the antiseptic corridors of a hospital in the United States, these voices intersect and intertwine,bound together by the universal need to be seen, understood and remembered. Voices in the Waiting Room is a powerful, multi-perspective debut by Mayank Gupta about identity, displacement and the fragile bonds that tether us to one another. As each voice rises, falters and finally finds its place, Gupta crafts a chorus that is both intimate and resonant.
