Book - Pawan The Flying Accountant

"With great power comes great amnesia"

The above line is just one of the many one liner jokes in this book.

This book is written by famous Indian comedian Sorabh Pant (not to be confused with Rishabh Pant)

I knew Sorabh Pant was a good comedian, but didn't knew that he is this good a novelist. This book is funny, also moving. More or so the sarcastic tone makes you go LOL!

This book is about Arjun Singh, a reluctant superhero vanara called Pawan. He fights with top terrorists, Chinese dragon, etc. This book falls into the special category of dark comedy (style of Sorabh Pant's comedy).

The book has many characteristics of Sorabh Pant's comedy like ranting, dark, sarcastic and vivid imagination.

Open minded people will enjoy the reading experience.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME by Stephen Hawking! It is the textbook of physics! Hawking has explained from Aristotle principle to recent developments like string theory. Stephen Hawking was an English theoretical physicist, known for Hawking radiation, gravitational singularity theorems in collaboration with Roger Penrose. This theorem predicted that black holes emit radiations. This book contains the topics that I started learning from first grade and topics that I am learning now for my bachelors degree.

Book Recommendations - War and Peace

War and Peace is a mammoth novel of 1200 pages, written by Count Leo Tolstoy. This is a special kind of novel. It is an historical novel blended with fictional elements. It is a rare mixture of history and fiction. Count Leo Tolstoy, born in 1828 was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. When I first held this book in hand to read, my hand started to be in pain as this book is so heavy. I never thought that I could finish reading this novel when I saw the number of pages. This novel has so many characters and moments, it has got 33 pages of notes, adjoining the novel. The novel has been split into 15 parts and two epilogues. The characters present in the novel can be applied to our own lives. I was able to draw parallels between some of the characters and the people I know. It also explains the conflict between war and peace and its effects on people. This is written in the backdrop of Napoleonic wars and its impact on Russia. The nove...
