The smell of a book is magic…
The year started with one of the biggest magnum opus about Bajirao Peshwa and his love interest Mastani. Bajirao has been a great warrior so loved the film.
History has always intrigued me. So I have this wish to find out all the history what has happened in details.
While, picking some new books saw a book – ‘The Peshwa – The Lion and the Stallion’. I always have this urge to know more and also the movie impact made me go and pick up this one.

To atone, Balaji showered all his efforts and love on his first son. Despite boyish features characteristic of a lad of eighteen, Bajirao was known amongst his military educators and mentors as a ferocious and highly skilled fighter.
