Konamatra by Parthasarathy Ghose [Hardcover]

The affectionate rebuke from Guru Acharya Satyendra Nath Bose, "Being my student, you haven't written anything in Bengali?" served as the inspiration for this book. The author believes that the first introduction to science is only possible in one's mother tongue. Rabindranath Tagore, in his book "Vishwaporichoy," mentioned that there is no shame in acknowledging literature's help in introducing science. The author has taken this statement to heart and has tried to explain science through everyday events, sports, music, and everything in life. In that sense, this is not just a book about science; it captures the "romance" of science in a conversational tone. Despite simplifying complex scientific matters, there is no compromise in accuracy. Scientific terminology has also been given special attention in this book.

The author reflects on the profound influence of the legendary people he has encountered, who have shaped him. This book is a dynamic portrait of the life of a multifaceted scientist.
