Meer oor hierdie e-boek

India is a huge country. But it is not apparent to many of its populace. Mercator projection is to blame when we glance at the maps, but other omissions also abound. From the scorching desert of Thar to the bustling metropolis of Mumbai, from the heavy tint greens of Bengal, to the red soil topography of Tamil Nadu, India is a land of interesting differences. To the trained eye, however,this is all but a molecule on the surface of the Indian ocean. The deeper parts of the metaphorical, but amusingly synonymous, ocean lies in things that are not visible by the glances through the iris. The culture, the society, and the micro-politics are akin to krakens of the Scandinavian folklore, albeit real but forgotten by popular media busy counting the pebbles on the touristy beach. In this book, we delve into the first-hand account of a short journey to the head of India, Kashmir, after a short stay in the historically important city of Amritsar. This travel was undertaken more than a decade away when Kashmir was still a princely state and was in a flummoxing state of development coupled with traditionalism and volatile terrorism situations. The author visited this place while he was a young teenager, and the perspectives were of that time.

Meer oor die skrywer

Bishnu Goswami is an author, researcher, game/software developer and an avid bicyclist. He has published around four dozen books, with a few under a pseudoname. His genres include some nonfictional work; including techniques to crack difficult written and oral examinations, thinking holistically about science and its pedagogy and improving on existing de facto methods for the same.

In the realm of software development, he has authored on the scripting and start-to-finish development of multi platform 2D games. Another example of his work involves the monetization best-practices in this area, using live-examples from his own individual projects from the past. One of his very recent projects involves an evolving element which can benefit the upcoming programmers in the field of inclusive development, which is also a part of his ongoing research work.

In the very relevant field of inclusive development and global health, Goswami has worked with Rohin C, an American enthusiast, and jointly published a book on using Progressive Web Apps for Inclusive Development. He has previously worked on the use of these apps for newly industrialized countries, and those accounts are reflected in the book.

He has also authored multiple books on some new variations of board games, including their analyses and feedback from the early-bird players, quite a few of them being acclaimed by the reviewers. He has also authored in abstract thinking puzzles, which has mostly been received very positively by readers of all age-groups.

In addition to the recurring element of puzzle and their simplification in his work, Goswami has written on memoirs. These involve personal journeys to his cosy times with the rural-ferally juxtaposed indogs, an intelligent 'breed' of dogs that socializes itself out of nuclear-family dwellings, or the time he rode the last 'small' train to an ancient town of India. Some of his work here also dwells on the slightly risqué subject of personality profiling and stirring of the cultural potpourri.

While working with the Society of Mental and Rhetorical Training, an institute created by the highest ranking civil officers of his home country, Goswami learned a few manners of the discipline; especially on the stressed importance of presenting oneself professionally, and with confidence. This is also noted down in one of his earlier works, and which was in part responsible for his invitation to various lectures throughout the country and internationally.

Goswami has a master's degree in science and has also won multiple awards in national and international conferences. He has also contributed in Quora, a knowledge sharing website and maintains a blog and a software-developer website. In his free time, he likes to listen to classical music, watch birds and go on a tour of bicycling.

He is also the creator of the Bongojontro and Bongojontro Baksobandi software, whose role is illustrated in a scientific paper published in EAIT, which is the official journal of the Technical Committee on Education of the International Federation for Information Processing in partnership with UNESCO.
