Fluid: The Approach Applied by Geniuses Over Centuries

“Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly.�
Ashish Jaiswal’s book Fluid comes in the latter part. This book is in a true sense enlightening.
So when I recently stumbled upon the book ‘Fluid by Ashish Jaiswal� I started thinking about our present ‘Indian Education System� and it’s catastrophic impact on us.
The moment we are born, people around us start telling us what to do and what not to do, in short, they try to mold us. But the real defining point comes, we when start our education. Where we are trained to or rather forced to choose certain disciplines.
We are being shaped and trained to think that “Jack of all trades is master of none�, and unfortunately we are letting them and in the process, we are also, in Author’s word ‘boxing our creative side�. Be more than what you are taught to be and it clearly denotes this point in every chapter that it speaks with its audience.
Education is a must but not to box our thinking, but to make our foundation strong. We need Out-Of-The-Box approach in our Education system. I think we need to explore more of the different arenas. And as the tagline of the book so aptly says, we need to “Be more than what you are taught to be�
“The educational journey of these wanderers inspires the idea of being fluid.�
Author Ashish has given many examples of Geniuses like Leonardo Da Vinci, Johann Wolfgang, Dr. C. V. Raman e.t.c. in various fields who always explored beyond their field and became successful at that. The book has many such references which makes it more interesting to read.
The book is a fascinating eye-opener. Author has done thorough research before putting the book together and it is quite visible in his book. The Author has made the reading more interesting by giving us facts, original letters, diagrams and illustrations of many geniuses in the book.
And with regards to the language, I actually love the language in ‘Fluid�, leave alone finding it something to rail against. It has a kind of an austere beauty to it, a kind of ‘fluid flow� from one chapter to another. Every chapter enlightens you and gives you more insight.
