Favorite quotes-

My Observations- The simplicity of the book makes the readers glued to it but at the same time the editing errors makes it a big turn off. Nevertheless, the book's thought process surpasses this drawback and makes it highly recommendable. Suvasish has indeed done an amazing job of bringing this book in the market.
