How a Coffee Spill Brewed a Comic Series!
It all started on a regular day, over their usual coffee banter. Keerthi, as always, was passionately discussing economics, her hands moving faster than her words. And then—oops! Coffee splattered everywhere.
Surya leaned back, dodging the spill, laughing. “Keerthi, you’re so passionate about your coffee, but you spill it like a pro!”
Keerthi burst out laughing, grabbing tissues. “Maybe coffee and economics both need better handling!”
That’s when Surya, mid-laugh, had his lightbulb moment. “What if we taught economics through comics? Imagine taking those tough, boring concepts and turning them into fun stories!”
Keerthi froze, mid-wipe, her mind already whirring. “That’s brilliant! Stories stick better, don’t they? With my teaching and your creative flair, we could make economics fun for everyone—kids, adults, anyone!”
And just like that, from a coffee-stained table, Swaminathan and Tara came to life—a comic series where economics meets fun, making the impossible both understandable and entertaining.

It is a brilliantly conceptualised book- meant for young readers but even adults will find it interesting. It explains the closed economies- its challenges and the need for economic reforms and what the reforms did to contribute to the growth of India. I highly recommend this book to all students- from primary to middle school. It provides a balanced approach and is very easy to read and follow”
