CA Students are always engaged with the maze of CA curriculum materials and thus reading as a passion or life skill value addition is sacrificed. To help recover from the monotones of reading, we have purposefully curated a catalogue of 5 Non-CA cum Non-Fiction Books that can kill two targets in one shot. These books on one hand will help you to enhance your aptitude, other thinking skills and on the other hand will let you be more smooth throughout your CA journey. 

Without taking much time the following is the list of 5 such books along with their short summaries. 

 

• The India Way: Strategies for an Uncertain World ~ S.Jaishankar 

 

A distinguished IFS officer turned esteemed Politician holding MEA as his portfolio, Sir S Jaishankar has demonstrated his keen observation of INDIA from 2008’s, 2020’s and other uncertainties. The global presence of India and her diaspora has made a unique niche across the world crowd in recent years. The author places this thinking in the context of history and tradition, appropriate for a civilizational power that seeks to reclaim its place on the world stage.

 

• The Constitution of India ~ CA Nimish Goel 

 

First of all the consideration of this book is highly attributed to the fact that the author is a well qualified CA. 

In this book, Nimish Goel has elaborated the greatest work in the history of Medieval and Modern India i.e. The Constitution. This Blog is being live on dates close to the republic day of India which is celebrated as a holiday by every Indian but the basic constitutional literacy amongst them is least. As a matter of fact CA is a nation-wide course and needs your attachment to the nation, this book can really be helpful for you to build that connection. There’s very deliberate attention to the presentation of detail in a lucid manner.  

 

• Not Just an Accountant: The Diary of the Nations Conscience Keeper ~ Vinod Rai

 

The eleventh Comptroller and Auditor General, Vinod Rai has beautifully crafted his professional annals in this book. As catchy as the title this journal will take you through a periscope journey of India’s highest positions. Rupa Publications keeps up their tradition of publishing high profile memoirs and thus will never disappoint you with the value you can derive. 

 

• Articleship Diaries ~ Akhil Manuel.   

 

A complete light hearted account of 3 golden years of his articleship, the author illustrates the crests and troughs of his journey in this book. The otherwise seemingly boring years of a CA aspirant’s life are described to contain the best memories he can ever get. A mix of romance, corporate exposure and urban survival  tactics is this book. A must read for those who wanna start their articleship or those who are going through and wanna find a kick.
