"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”
Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh Pal“This book is all about explaining the wonders of the cosmos in the colloquial language that is often used by the teenagers of today. I wrote this book so that children and teens who didn’t know anything about the universe would understand the great universe in all its glory.”
