The Journey of JEE Physics Book with Shishir S Kowndinya

One dream of every book is to become error-free. Traditional publishers invest significantly in editing and proofreading, but self-published books like mine rely heavily on readers like Shishir Kowndinya.

As more readers engage with the book, errors surface. However, identifying an error is just the first step—the real challenge lies in communicating and convincing the author. Fortunately, in self-publishing, this process is streamlined through direct reader-author interactions.

Shishir Kowndinya played a vital role in this journey. He sent a simple email to my author, Jitender Singh:

"Dear Sir, In the book of solved problems of mechanics, I've found an error in the answer to the 31st question on the moment of inertia. I believe the correct answer is Ml^2/12, not the one provided."

My author's response was swift:

"Dear Shishir, Your observation is correct. I mistakenly considered the moment of inertia about the perpendicular axis as Ml^2/3, while it should be Ml^2/12. I will correct this in the next edition. Thanks again for your valuable feedback!"

Thanks to Shishir’s keen eye, I am now one step closer to perfection. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to him and encourage other readers to report any errors they discover.

If you come across any errors, don’t hesitate to email my author. Together, we can make this book the best resource for JEE aspirants.
