Every night when we go to bed, surrounded by a deep
silence, a wild rush of thoughts seems to overpower us and our imaginative
capabilities. We tend to think towards the unthinkable directions and suddenly
the limits of the horizons seem to stretch themselves a little bit further
pushing away our inhibitions, redefining dimensions and breaking all the
conventions. Holding onto a chain of some random thoughts, we travel across the
length and breadth of the universe, even reaching for the stars and be supreme
of all. Everyone of us has this sneaking desire to be known as a genius amongst
our peers but due to the some reasons, we always manage to convince ourselves
that it is far beyond our reach to excel and realize the most wonderful gift
given to us, our Brain.
As a matter of fact, we DO have the potential to
break our boundaries and truly become a genius and this is the message that
Dilip Mukerjea’s latest book “Unleashing genius with the world’s most powerful
learning systems” gives us. Written in an exceptionally fresh, interactive and
creative manner, the book reveals some of the most interesting facts about human
brain, its thinking pattern and its biological makeup. Don’t we all at some
point of life forget a vital link between events that is the essentiality of
the moment or don’t we all have difficulty remembering names, places and dates (if
you have a girl friend, you will agree with me on my last point)? This is the
book that tells us about how we can become more organized and less forgetful in
life just by picking up little clues that are scattered everywhere around us.
Through this highly innovative and illustrative
book, Mukerjea has tried to give a deeper insight into the unexplored and more
often than not unutilized potential of the human mind but in a fun way. Flowing
as smooth as a fresh stream of water in a waterfall, it takes you into your own
mind, its intricacies and areas that can still be improved no matter how old or
young you are. The book is divided into ten chapters each covering one aspect
and function of the brain and then giving out its complete elaboration with
exercises at the end of each chapter to give your brain cells a run for their
neurons which would make you fall even more with the book and your brain. And don’t
get surprised if while reading the book, you get transported back into your
kindergarten days when every word and picture had an action associated with it.
No wonder why most of us still remember those nursery rhymes that we learnt
around 16-17 years back but not a chemistry equation or a mathematical formula that
we learnt just a month ago.
Mukerjea’s brilliance and creativity in writing this
book is definitely worth a huge applaud as it never ever lets you down with any
sort of monotony or bland content. High on fun quotient, the book is alive and
speaking throughout its 500 pages of life while infusing a sense of brightness
in its reader. If you have a younger sibling, or even some elder around who isn’t
much into reading but very much into forgetting, this book can be the ideal
gift. I’m sure they’ll shower you with gifts and gratitude after reading this
book.
And last but not the least I would like to say or recall one last thing. As a child, I remember having a coloring book in which a pair of
identical looking pictures were drawn, out of which, one was completely colored
and the other one left completely blank for us. Now I realize that it wasn’t
merely an empty picture, it was more of a small representation of life which
can be made as much beautiful and bright as we want it and a reflection of our deepest
ideas which can really soar to unimaginable heights if we give them a fair
chance and wings of faith. And I’m sure most of us have forgotten that drawing
book as a thing of old and dusty memories. But now, it’s high time to pick up
that drawing book once again and start filling it with free and bright colors
and see the change for yourself.
