Simply Fly is a biography of Captain Gopinath. The book is large and in the middle it becomes little boring. That is because the outcomes of his various ventures become predictable. In throughout length of book he, with brutal honesty, writes what he really did and not what we would like to read. How a person who keeps on trying and experimenting never fail I the longer run, how self-belief is a must else you are deemed to fail, he assures. I would rate this one as 4.5 stars.The incidents sometimes feel difficult to believe. For example, the incident where the bullock cart does not fail and wheels do not come out even when locking mechanism is missing; when he left everything and lived alone in a farm with zero amenities; etc. But leaving such instances, the book is a good or rather a MUST READ. One who loves adventures would definitely love this book. In one of the adventures, Captain Gopinath goes on a bike tour of country. I liked that idea and added ‘Bike Journey from Kanyakumari to Jammu’ in my Bucket List. This book is actually an epitome of adventurism. One important thing is that Captain himself is a avid reader. He has quoted lines from various writers every now and then making book more readable. Also, I had to use dictionary frequently while reading.
