From what ever minimum that I have read Madan sir, this seems to be a typical madan sir book. He will take a life happening and take it towards a historical event, the flow in which he takes to that event is the magic that he creates. Might look simple from the outset but it is not that easy to hit that with so much ease each and every time.

Going into latest technology and history of small items like blade , type writers and even beard are something I liked in this book. He is good in conveying emotions and also on tapping the right emotions to lead to his explanation. While talking about type writers the last pun that he had on saying type writers were always needed for human and it was also advertised much for people to use, but people ignored using it till the time they got used to. Even for inventions to succeed it needs time even though it is something that is necessary today is a good thought. With world moving towards innovation and invention's this is something that gives confidence to me that world may not change at the same pace as innovation.

In all the book is a very good and interesting read. If you want some historical facts and biological facts with a light read like talking to a person this will be a book for you. Go for it

மதன் புக் என்றவுடன் வருகிற அந்த இதழ் ஓர புன்னகை, இதை படித்தவுடன் மீண்டும் வந்தது..!
கார்ட்டூனுடன் தன் வாழ்க்கை சம்பவங்களை சேர்த்து வரலாற்றை அவர் சொல்லும் பாணி அற்புதம். 👍

வாழ்க்கை அனுபவங்கள், நகைச்சுவை, வரலாறு கலந்து நம்மை வியப்பில் ஆழ்த்தும் கதை.

It has all said with humour and unimaginable comparison Coz it’s none other than Madhan’s writing .. this will let u know interesting facts about every nook and corner of world .. yet reading it in this author’s style is more fun and thoughtful ...
