I would really love to learn more about particle physics. Can you give me an outline of references and on what to read first? Coz if I jumped directly here, I wouldn't effectively understand this. Thank you Sir @lemouth...

It depends on your background. I need to know what you currently know and whats you are looking at (university-level textbooks, popuilarization books, etc...). You can also check some of my posts for basic introductions :)
Sorry for the late response Sir, throughout my academic years I only learned basic physics such as projectiles, speed & velocity, vectors, forces etc. no complicated physics like the theory of relativity and others. My knowledge about those things is just small and I find it hard to explain when I do not fully understand the topic.
If you know what are vectors and forces, there are ways to start. I myself wrote a book on quantum mechanics where the only requirements are integration, differentiation, vectors. However, it is not in English, and I don't know any English equivalent.
All the good books I could recommend are actually more advanced. You can possibly try the Cohen-Tannoudji but I am afraid it may be a bit too advanced. This is considered as the bible for quantum mechanics.
It's okay Sir, thanks for the advice by the way.. Anyways I am watching minute-physics in youtube and I learned a lot there, would you recommend it?
I am not watching online videos (I am a reader guy), so that I am afraid I cannot speak for or against them. Sorry :)
