"Curious One" is Bhupendra Patel's engaging and heart-warming memoir, documenting his early childhood memories growing up in India. During his childhood from the ages of 5 to 8, Patel moved to three different locations, and four different houses that deeply impacted his memory which explains how he could reveal all the details so vividly for readers. Patel is a part of a farming family who found himself being raised in Vadodara, the second biggest city of Gujarat, India, a rural farming village named Luna and the magical city of Mumbai, India. In each location his formative years were shaped by caretakers who had varying degrees of attention and oversight over his daily life and routines, yet each of them played a unique role in his life. The book converts everyday childhood adventure snapshots into words and vividly portrays Patel's distant past.
Bhupendra Patel finds a balance to expertly take readers along his journey of day-to-day activities and leaves it to them to figure out why he has become who he is today at seventy years of age. He retired from his distinguished career as a nuclear submarine engineer and an information technology expert. Bhupendra currently lives in the scenic town of Mystic, Connecticut. His writing of real-life events is descriptive, crisp, and full of life as he examines how to find wisdom and joy from elders. Through it all, Patel's deep love for women; his mother, grandmother, and uncle's wife shines through. This book explores how being curious at a young age nurtures a child's mind that can mold an individual as an adult.
First released in hardcover on September 20, 2021, this 300+ page book is divided into four parts, each relating to a year of his childhood. It's an easy read that will make the reader not want to put it down. Each story will resonate differently and linger in your thoughts for quite a while afterwards. The stories will transport you to a different time and land while you enjoy looking at some black and white photographs taken by the author himself.
"Life is fabulous when you are curious, and life is remarkable when you are adaptable." - Bhupendra Patel

Most authentic book compilation on the Oregon Trail I ever read. The way the diaries are brought to life from over 170 years ago is a remarkable achievement. Top book of year so far for me for today June 01, 2024 review Candice
This author is a breathe of fresh air in a world of lies and coverups. He brings ancient writings and new science to bring light to mankind. In this amazing work, the well known plato stories from antiquity are now put alongside this new discovery of tablets from beginning of time. This is the most complete explanation of Atlantis every brought to the public. Shame on the governments of Egypt and the world for hiding WHO BUILT THE PHYRAMIDS OF GIZA AND THE SPHINX. Once I read this book I knew why they hid this knowledge. They don't want a population to know how great the world used to be compared to know.
Randomly stumbled upon this book and I am shocked that I haven’t heard about it before. It’s hands down the best story I’ve read in years. People need to read this book. It needs to be turned into a book. This story is just plain awsome. M
This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
