Many of us would heartily agree that the Indian education system is an unrelenting pressure cooker in which every student is bound to reach their boiling point. However, be it academics, personal issues, or classic college drama, there is nothing else quite like those wistful days. Notion Press, India’s leading self-publishing platform, presents  by Kshitish Chandra Patro and Suchismita Pradhan.From a small city in Odisha, Aggregate 50 follows three Chartered Accountant aspirants, Ashish, Akshay, and Trilochan, on their journey as they follow their passion and chase their dreams in the heart of a major metropolitan city, Chennai. The story revolves around their new life away from everyone and everything they’ve known up until.

Alas, the crux of the story lies in the fact that a student not only requires a minimum of 40 marks in a particular subject under the course, but also an aggregate of 50 to clear the final examinations. Unlike any other college novella, Aggregate 50 is a book that incorporates love, relationships, destiny, and self-discovery with a great emphasis on the very foundation of friendships formed in a chaotic education system. Bound to keep a reader hooked from the very first page, this book humbly, yet beautifully portrays the challenges faced by each of them and their friendship.

Born and raised in the city of Paradeep, Odisha, author-couple Kshitish Chandra Patro and Suchismita Pradhan share a few similarities with the protagonists of their debut book. Kshitish Ch. Patro completed his Chartered Accountancy in Chennai and has been successfully practicing in his hometown, as well as in Bhubaneswar. Apart from being a well-renowned GST Practitioner, Patro is an excellent orator and has actively participated in various forums under varying topics such as GST, budgets and even, on motivation.

On the other hand, Suchismita Pradhan is a financial executive with a broad range of interests such as painting, blogging and content writing. However, Suchismita has been constantly passionate about penning down her thoughts that foster positivity in the world while simultaneously inspiring her readers to overcome negativity.

Very few books manage to retell a nostalgic story with the same magic; nonetheless, Aggregate 50 succeeds in doing so remarkably. So, whether you’d like to get a taste of what’s in store, to feel reassured that you aren’t alone, or to relive fond memories, this book is a must-read for everyone irrespective of the path you chose to pursue. Grab your copy of Aggregate 50 in print and e-book format at the Notion Press Bookstore amongst other leading e-commerce portals such as Amazon and Flipkart.
