Surely you're joking mr feynmann

Book review: I have quoted this author before in my blog, becauase of the sole fact that he brings out some sort of culture among scientists and is able to communicate his ideas to the layman.

This book is a must have for every engineering student and moreso for anyone who is interested in science. If you have been a brat sometime in your life, then these are stories of the brat called as Richard Feynmann.

So who was Dr. Feynmann - he was a prof at Caltech (California Institute of Technology) in theoretical physics and a Noble prize winner at the age of 48!!!! Now thats too mahaan. He died in 1987. There is much more to him and google him if you want to know more.

This book is by far a very inspirational book that helps you question your surrounding, that speaks about his little achievements and (some that are not islamically right). But if you can look beyond that, you can imagine a noble prize winner playing drums in the streets of Brazil, with people who probably have not been to college. there is this story of where he gives math tricks which he used to divide faster that a japanese with his abacus. It just encourages you to retain the brat within yourself.

And to wrap it up the last paragraph -
So I have just one wish for you - the good luck to be somewhere where you are free to maintain the kind of integrity I have described, and where you do not feel forced by a need to maintain your position in the organisation, or financial support, or so on, to lose your integrity. May you have that freedom.
