My after reading opinion (April 29, 2017):-

This is my first time experience with the subject "Economics". I never read economics before. So I can't give any opinion about the syllabus or the contents about this Class 11, CBSE school book. But, I can say about the subject economics, that it's a very interesting subject. I enjoyed it very much. This is just the beginning of my Economics Learning.

In this particular book, the importance of statistics in the field of economics is described wonderfully. Statistics is the essential tool we used to analyzed and understand the different economic data and able to get some useful conclusions.

In this school syllabus (CBSE-NCERT), there are three more Economics books, such as "Indian Economic Development" (for class XI), "Introductory Microeconomics" (for class XII) and "Introductory Macroeconomics" (for class XII). I shall go through all these three books too, as it is very important subject for everyone to study.

Special Note:- I have divided academic study of a subject in 4 different level according to it's depth, complexity etc.
Such as - 1. Baby Mode:- School level syllabus
2. Easy Mode:- Bachelor Degree (General) syllabus
3. Medium Mode:- Bachelor Degree (Honours) syllabus
4. Hard Mode:- Master Degree (P.G.) syllabus

So, whenever I shall pick a subject to study, I shall try to go through from Baby Mode (which is school level books and seems much easier to read and understand a topic) to as much as Hard Mode.

My after reading opinion (March 23, 2017):- Two months ago I bought two pieces of Feluda series comics book named "Napoleoner Chithi" for my two nieces and they loved and enjoyed the book very much. So I decided to buy another story named "Robertsoner Ruby" from the same series. This time also I bought two pieces of books of same story, but from the publisher's own store at College Street, Kolkata.

I bought from Ananda publisher's own house, and I don't know there may be some offer or something, so I got another comics book free of cost with two books of Robertsoner Ruby. Sounds great.

My after reading opinion (January 23, 2017):- I remembered when I was a kid, my teenage was filled with the memories of "Feluda". A Bengali teenager without Feluda is the worse thing I ever thought. Feluda or Prodosh Chandra Mitra is the main character of the popular Bengali private detective story and novel series named "Feluda", which was written by Satyajit Ray, who got inspired from the famous English private detective story and novel series named Sherlock Holmes By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Whatever, Feluda series contents 35 complete stories and novels, and 4 unfinished writings. When I read those stories, it was the original version, no comics versions had been published. Recently in the beginning of the year 2017, I went to the Memari Book Fair (January 17, 2017 - January 23, 2017) at my home town Memari and I found those comics series of Feluda. Though they didn't published all 35+4 stories of the original story versions as comics books. Right now (at the time I am writing this article) they published 12 to 13 stories as comics version. However those are great comics for children and of course the wonderful drawing. These comics versions of Feluda series reach a new milestone in the field of Bengali Literature.

I bought two pieces of "Napoleoner Chithi - Comics Version". Why two books? Because I have two sweet nieces and I wanted to give those books to them as a gift. They would love to read this awesome comics. Even I enjoyed reading the book. It helped me to recall my old memories.

[Book 2] Tourist Guide Book of Sundarbans

Serial No.- 2

Category:- Non-Fiction (12. Travel & Leisure)

Book :-  Tourist Guide Book of Sundarbans

Author:-  Joydeb Das and Amal Nayek

Written in:- English

Published by:- Champa Mahila Society, Shibganj, Basanti, South 24-Parganas, West Bengal, India.

No. of Pages:- 78

My after reading opinion (December 29, 2016):- It was a winter season family tour between Dec 28, 2016 to Dec 31, 2016. and the place was none but world's largest tiger reserved mangrove forest and world's largest delta "Sundarbans", which is located 40% in the south part of the state West Bengal of the country India and 60% in the country Bangladesh. Though we visited only the Indian part of the forest (40% only), but it was a great experience.

There was a X-mas season fair going on near a native village of the forest, and I found the book and bought it. I believe "Any tour without a tourist guide book is just like a blind person is crossing a road without his stick". When we go to a tour to a completely new place we should read the tourist guide book first to enjoy the tour better. It will help us to know the place better way - we shall come to know how many places to visit, interesting facts about the tourist area, interesting places, hotels, resorts, it's history, geographical characteristics, species to see, native people's lifestyle, cultures, literacy rate, their occupations etc. Because when you read the guide you get the theoretical informations and then when you visit the place you recall and feel the knowledge practically. And that is a great idea to boost your tour to a new level.

Not only that, if you read any tourist guide book first, you will be able to understand how many places have we visited and how many is still left to visit.

From all perspective, this "Tourist Guide Book of Sundarbans" helped me very well. Thanks to the authors for writing this great book.

Also we enjoyed the December season family tour very well. It was a great vacation.
