ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE BOOK
At 15-years he has already penned 2 books! His love for plants, trees, nature and environment shows how mature a boy he is, caring for the human race. A word as I know him is good enough to set his mind working to write a story. His fascination to read the autobiographies of legends is awe inspiring. His stories have been transformed into blogs by his mother which is an additional input for Sharvesh to keep writing and thinking out of the box.

My heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional storytelling skills and the bold choice the author made in portraying the creator of the time machine in his story as a female rather than the traditional male archetype. It is truly refreshing to see young authors like Sharvesh challenge conventional norms and break free from gender stereotypes. This sends a powerful message to readers, especially young girls, that women can excel in the field of science and make significant contributions to the world. By choosing to highlight a female scientist, he is promoting gender equality and diversity, which are essential values in today’s society.

I sincerely appreciate Sharvesh for his meticulous efforts in penning a marvellous piece of work and I feel immensely proud of this precocious lad. On behalf of our school, I thank Sharvesh’s parents, his friends and all his acquaintances who have encouraged him to enlighten the young Indian society on past events of historical significance in an intriguing style and helped him earn yet another feather in his cap!

Pudumai, is a Pudumaiyana (novel attempt) book! We keep telling people that our country’s history is to be rewritten, and here he is doing it! The attention to detail in the names and statistics demonstrates how much time he spent gathering, editing, and understanding the material. By doing so, he has established himself as an accomplished writer. A future historian is emerging!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Writing a book is hard but publishing it is even harder than I imagined. My writing journey may not have taken off, had it not been for these good people in my life. I humbly offer gratitude to all of them.
To my parents, without them, I am absolutely nothing. Thank you for providing me with the best of everything, and motivating me to pursue what I like. Dear Mamma & Pappa, it’s more than a blessing to have you both in my life.
To my Gurus and the Almighty, for ensuring everything I get in my life. Without the guidance of the Gurus and the blessings of the supreme power above, nothing would have been ever possible in my life, including my existence.
To the patriots and the freedom fighters, who sacrificed everything that they could, and even more, to see Mother India a free country. With pain and pride in equal measure, I sincerely hope to become a citizen worthy of this independance.
To the countless warriors of the country who are epitomes of sacrifices, protecting the freedom of India till date, I bow my head to all of you. Thank you for everything that you do for the country. Without you, fearless sleep would be a luxury.
To 16Leaves, my publishers, who have always come forward and helped transform my manuscript to a beautiful book. You guys are the best team one could ever ask for. Special thanks to Arti Walia Maam and Deepali Sawant Maam at 16Leaves.
To all my mentors and elders, who have taken the time to share their thoughts and messages for my book. I feel motivated and
