I Hate Mathematics. This Book Made Me Respect It. — Sameer Gudhate Reflects on Cédric Villani’s Birt

Every time Sheldon Cooper appeared on The Big Bang Theory, I’d laugh at how someone could become so consumed by equations that the rest of the world seemed like background noise. I’d enjoy the jokes, shake my head, and think, “Thank goodness I’m not a mathematician.”The truth is, I hate mathematics.I always have.If you asked me to choose between solving an equation and reading a history book, I’d ...

Crisis

“…the car sounds like its having a crisis. Like Laddy Chatterly having one of her crisis…..”Some juvenile laughs would ensue. I love Top Gear and would watch reruns of old episodes but i remember this reference standing out. What did it mean? who was this lady chatterly? well i finally have found what the fuss is all about. It is an interesting read / listen - talks about womens sexual desires and...

Absorb the city

“Put me back in London….i need to breathe in the city.”Melodramatically delivered in the new BBC sherlock series, it re-affirms the characters intimate knowledge and relation with his home city. Much of it is true to be truly immersed in a place - be it new surroundings or old haunts. Or a home town. The smells, sounds and sights of where you grew up - new and old.

It’s the kind of book that arrives wearing a lab coat but hides a rebellious smile underneath — equal parts thought experiment and emotional explosion.Bonnie Garmus,...

TSITP

That’s the short for “The summer I turned pretty” web series on Amazon Prime. The teenager in the house is mad about it driving me mad too. I remember being that mad about tv shows back then. And about bookish romance too. Heck, I was more interested in Nancy and Ned than Nancy’s adventures or Anne and Peter than the politics around them. The Hardy Boys had way too much action (not that of course!...

Sameer Gudhate presents the Book Review of Story of Mahabharata: Part 1 by Kaushal Kishore

Growing up in India, the Mahabharata was more than just a story—it was a part of the air we breathed. Sunday mornings meant watching B.R. Chopra’s epic unfold on TV with my family, wide-eyed and deeply moved. So when I picked up Story of Mahabharata: Part 1 by Kaushal Kishore, I wondered: “What could be new for someone who’s already read and seen so many versions of this timeless tale?” The answer...
