BOOKS FOR PHYSICS
Concepts of Physics Vol I and II by H.C. Verma
These all-inclusive books are tailored for the students of 10+2 level. Apart from covering all the topics related to the JEE advanced syllabus, the two parts have a number of solved and unsolved problems for students. The best-covered topics in these books are Mechanics, Electrostatics, Modern Physics, Thermodynamics, and Optics.
Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick & Walker
Chapters like Electro Magnetism, Rotation, and Wave Optics have been covered very well in this book. It contains descriptions of physical principles, which are well supported by mathematical derivations of the equation, description of laboratory experiments, historical backgrounds, etc. followed by reliable, solved examples.
Problems in General Physics by I.E. Irodov
This book is divided into six parts. It has a preface at the beginning and chapter-wise answers and solutions at the end. The best-covered topics are Basis of Vector, Trigonometry, and Calculus. But it requires a clear understanding of physics concepts and can be very time-consuming. So, though it is one of the best reference books, it is advised to read only in your free time as an extra resource.

ENGLISH FICTION
FORM A DOCTOR'S DIARY
From a doctor’s diary by Shri Gopal Kabra is a small volume about the size of the Indian Journal of Leprosy, and like the journal, arrived wrapped in a sheet of plain brown paper tied cross-wise with white string. It stared hopefully back at me from my table for a few days until my curiosity got the better of me, and I cut the string to look inside. The front cover is designed tastefully, giving the appearance of parchment splotched with dried blood-stains, with drawings of a vertebral column, a brain in saggital section, a stethoscope, and fading, cursive text in the background. The back cover details a frightening list of the author’s qualifications and interests, ranging from medicine and law, anatomy, surgery and medical audit to medical journalism, and authorship of collections of short stories in Hindi. Not quite certain of what lay ahead, I started reading with some trepidation.
