My dream? … Own the world … every single inch of it. How? … Lounging on a couch, munching away at will. When you got high ambitions and you just can't do justice to them besides the fact that you can't help yourself off the damned couch, the only way out of this disappointing, boring world is the luring world of psychedelics.

And what if this magical world just brings out the worst in you? What if the thing that you wished for initiates the path of self-destruction in you and you don't even know it? Would you hold on to it? And what if the “helping hand” out of the mess you created is just a marketing gimmick? Discover through the eyes of Rahul the curse of being a 21st century adult. It is high time that we wake up to this menace plaguing the streets of mother India. Now or Never … The question for the eternity. Are you ready? ...

Get to know the eccentric alien known as the Doctor in this “out-of-this-world read for both Classic and New Who fans” (Library Journal). From his beginnings as a crotchety, anti-heroic scientist in 1963 to his current place in pop culture as the mad and dangerous monster-fighting savior of the universe, the character of Doctor Who has metamorphosed in his many years on television. And yet the questions about him remain the same: Who is he? Why does he act the way he does? What motivates him to fight evil across space and time? The Doctors Are In is a guide to television’s most beloved time traveler from the authors of Who Is the Doctor and Who’s 50. This is a guide to the Doctor himself—who he is in his myriad forms, how he came to be, how he has changed (within the program itself and behind the scenes) . . . and why he’s a hero to millions.
