An Excellent Reading!!

Prof. Shanku,the simple-living-high-thinking scientist from a place called Giridi in Northern India sets out for this adventure in Tibet .With him is his scientist friends Jeremi Sonders from UK and Wilhelm Crole from Germany and the hilarious neighbour Abinash babu.They have another companion with them who turned out to be not a gentleman as he pretended.The group ended on landing in a very remote place in Tibet by whatever geographical information they had --ultimately they reach a place called "Nandan Kanan" -which is the "paradise on earth" and behind a huge wall.You can't take back anything from here to the real world. The bad man ,Marcovitch is finally brought to justice here.Graphic details of Tibet,exciting events,comic touches here and there and above all a scintillating story keeps you engrossed all the time .This book is simply unputdownable.
