Books, Love & Friends

Books: I am done reading The Evolution of Physics – Albert Einstein  & Leopold Infeld. And before you wonder of  it being some geeky book, let me tell you, it is not! .  I would recommend this book not only to laymen but to all physicists and college students too. It is well written in clear and concise form.

The layman does not often have the opportunity of reading a simple ex-position of advanced scientific thought written by the man who did the actual creative thinking. In this book, which is the result of a happy collaboration between the author of the theroy of Relativity and one of his own co-worders in researh, the story they have to tell of this evolutionary development is one of the most fascinating that the human mind can meet with – the story of mankind’s attempt to comprehend through inventive thought its own realationship to theexternal world.

In simple, straightforward language, avoiding all the technical terms and mathematical formulae, the authors have traced with beautiful clarity.

The next book I have picked up is Bombay Rains Bombay Girls by Anirban Bose. And coincidentally, it rained yesterday (the very first monsoon rain), the minutes after I started reading this book. I couldn’t read much. The author has used unlimited number of heavy English words ! I have to carry a dictionary along next time !

Love : The ship isn’t sailing smooth. Three years of  ‘long distance’  journey and yet there seems no end to it. I wish what have kept us together for these three years will keep us together always. Love, love & more.

Friends: For almost a year now, I am living a life of  ‘ almost solitary confinement’. I stay alone in my apartment. But the good news is that, Pranjal will be taking admission in NMIS, and coming to Mumbai. I will have atleast one good company.

Its raining again this morning. I love rain. While in college, I used to sit by my window sipping my black coffee, and watching the rain, the sky the clouds. Wonderful days, I must say !

Now, it’s time to make my coffee and call my girlfriend. Naraaz hai.
