“When you get it, you would get it”.

The watchmaker and time is a short story written by Devang Kanavia, which will shed light on the significant aspects of time and destiny. It’s a small book barely has 100 + pages, but the content worth million.

The author has conveyed the exceptional message, which is the central core of the book, through a beautiful story of a famous watchmaker Pedro. The reader could not expect a spellbound plot or character development in the book. But you would love the book by the end for sure. 

Even though it was a short read for me, I could not put down the book, not because of its size but the intrigue factor. Oh, boy! It kept me on my toes; I was in an urge to uncover the truth of time along with the protagonist Pedro.

The simple analogies adopted to explain the complex science and philosophies fascinated me to the core. The author has described Einstein’s famous theory Theory of Relativity with the help of simple illustrations. As a science enthusiast, this made me in love with this book. 

He has also incorporated Egyptian mythology in this book, serves as icing in a cake. The writing style is lucid yet effective. I have not expected this book would be an insightful read. I would recommend this to everyone who wants to find the inner meanings of life and destiny.
