At the age of 16, Professor Shonku received his BSc degree with honours in two subjects, Physics and Chemistry.

Professor Shonku had many adventures, in both real and fantastical places, some with historical leanings and some with great revelations connected to human civilisation.

Excerpts of some interesting adventures follow: The first story in the series is about the Professor's journey to Mars on a rocket of his own manufacture, with Bidhusekhar, a robot, Prahlad, his man-servant and Newton the cat for company.

After a fearful encounter with the Martians, they flee from Mars, and land on planet Tafa, populated by large black ants who welcome Shonku as one of their own.

A child hurts his head, thereby acquiring extraordinary ability of omniscience, by speaking in multiple languages, and reciting lines of Shakespeare.

He is brought under Shonku's care, in a desperate attempt by the parents to bring the child back to normal.

Shonku tries to prove that human civilization has prospered thanks to the help of some alien civilisation that comes to Earth every 5000 years and teaches them something extraordinary.

He and Shonku are caught in a chain of events that lead them to the deep jungles of South America where El Dorado has always eluded discovery.

They are captured immediately, not by the aliens, but by a mad scientist who is the present owner of the UFO and who is in fact the destroyer of the monuments, driven because he was denied his due honour in the scientific community.

This is the story of a young Shonku and the invention of his Miracurall and the time when he visited Germany on the eve of World War II.

In the Sunday Suspense Series of 98.3 Radio Mirchi several Professor Shonku stories were performed by RJs, like Mir, Deep, Agni and Somak.

In 2017, an English-language animated film titled The Shonku Diaries: A Unicorn Adventure was released, based on Ek Shringa Abhijan.
