This book describes the life of the PhD student Mayank in Italy. The way Italy and the people are described as good and seemed to be a travelogue with a lot of places travelled as it was the 1st year of PhD in a new country and was exploring from 2nd year it was selecting a good topic and finding a solution for the real problem. The topic was really interesting. The advisors for him was so good and they were the only people to help him as he has some language problem. I came to know that Italians love their mother tongue and love to speak in it than any other language. We Indians are really opposite. We speak English a lot more than our language. The Life of a PhD student and the way the society treats people when keep on studying without settling is really tough and feels like surrounded by negativity but still many complete their PhDs and give a various realistic solution for many problems around. The book is written well and I enjoyed it. Thank you. I travelled to Italy through this book.
