All New Kindle Review:

Image
I was itching to buy Kindle for a long time. When I say long it usually means more than 12 months. When I heard about Kindle for the first time I thought it would be one of those un-needed junk that most of the users buy which later gathers dust.  To confirm my believes I feasted on brain of my friends who were proud kindle owners and did lot of internet research.Then one fine day out of no-where I had an epiphany that I will go for it soon.  The very next day I saw a INR 1000   discount on Amazon and purchased the All New Kindle. Once I ordered it I felt like Usain bolt receiving all three gold medals in Rio Olympics. I eagerly started waiting and after days it was delivered. I ordered it in white color and I loved it’s feel in my hand. Of-course I had a very hard time explaining to my parents what this cute white device is all about and it’s not a paper weight.  Kindle Wallpaper do not consume energy

A higher Call

It’s often said by folks that reading books is boring. Statement is true as long as you don’t find a book which intersects with your interest or rather your soul. After reading Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand I was in a dilemma that can I get my hands on a different book that match the gold standard set by Unbroken. Roughly after 18 months I found the answer.  Adam Makos has done excellent research when he penned down all the facts, figures and esprit de corps for this 400 page masterpiece. It’s story of two fighter pilots born miles away from each other. They never thought they will meet but their destinies collided in the most unusual places. Franz Stigler a ace German fighter pilot saw a lot of up’ and downs and fought for his country. Similarly Charlie Brown a 20 year old boy never expected that what will happen when his plan was shot badly by eight enemy fighters. I will say if it was not been for the Hand of God by Franz , Charlie wouldn’t have survived..  Franz follo

After buying Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson  in 2013 I started reading it in 2016. That’s a long gap! Just like “The imitation Game by Andrew Hodges” it’s a fantastic book.   While reading I revisited lots of topics from my high-school like entropy, Avogadro number, Quantum physics, nuclear fission/fusion to name a few and off- course love! So I will start about the things I realized reading 550 pages blue paperback:- I have Sky-Blue color Paperback! Everyone struggles Being the synonym of excellence Einstein struggled a lot in his initial days. From the inception he was the " Square peg in a round hole”. Often misunderstood by lot of people even after doing fantastic job in research he worked as a clerk in Swiss patent office. He was not very happy as he knew he was overqualified for the job and kept doing it for some time to pay his bills. He struggled to explain “theory of relativity” to lot of people and critics took it as a fluke for w
