Notes of a dream

Hey there, this is GKR.
It was a rainy night and the lights were out in my area. I was frustrated that I couldn't complete this book I was reading for the past few days. In a single night, I planned to finish it off so that I had enough time to reciprocate all the chapters in the book again. One way or the other my plan collapsed and I had to wait for another week, till next weekend, as I had college to attend during the weekdays.

My favourite musician of all time, A.R.Rahman was my only escape routine for all my issues. My hands automatically swiped through the applications in my mobile, got myself into the music application (I use Google Play music mostly) and finally played my favourite album, Kadal. The melodies were so sweet that my anger faded. The book that I was holding in the darkroom, a book named Sapiens, I gradually put it back into my bookbag that I carry every day. I started reading Sapiens a few days ago because it revealed so much information about human beings in general. As the music slid deep into my heart I had the urge to learn how a man could compose such heavenly soundtracks throughout his life without compromising on quality. A musician has so many limitations that they have to consider, from the situation to the length of the track. However, this man nailed every single soundtrack that he has ever composed with utmost perfection.

I minimized the music application and Googled his name. As expected, Wikipedia did not have enough information about the man and his personal life. All that I found online was his public lifestyle and his achievements in the industry. I was taken aback by a sudden notification on my phone from Twitter. It was a tweet by the man himself. I immediately opened the tweet to see what it was about to make sure I get updated on all his activities. The tweet was about a book.


"Notes of a dream," by Krishna Trilok. It was an authorized biography of A.R.Rahman. Imagine my astonishment that night, I was searching for information about a man and suddenly the man himself tweets a book that had all the information I needed. It was as if he saw through my emotions, yet again proving why he is heavenly.
I checked my bank account to see if I had enough money to make it through the week even after buying the book. Fortunately, I had enough and as soon as the book was available for pre-order, I placed the purchase.
A few days later I had a surprise knock on the door. It was the delivery guy with the book that I had been expecting for a while. I got the package, tipped him as I was in a good mood, opened the package and TADA! The book was there.
My craze to read the book was so extreme that I bunked the college that Friday, thereby started binging on the book from Thursday evening. The book was not as big as other biographies but contained enough information to let you melt by all the incidents that happened in Rahman's life. The writing is clean and precise. The book only lasted for one and a half-day (I am a fast reader) yet I was able to consume all the details the book was meant to deliver.
I highly recommend this book for all the fans of the musical maestro (Mozart of Madras)
Even if I start reading more biographies after this, this book will undoubtedly be one of the most favourite biographies ever written.

Elon Musk by Ashlee Vance

Hey there, this is GKR . Elon Musk is one of the greatest current-generation innovators. He is the CEO of several companies including Tesla and SpaceX. I admire him a lot especially for the fact that he is actually trying to make this world a better place by making Electric cars and selling Solar roof and walls. I have seen several Youtube videos claiming that Elon Musk's daily routine is insane. I wanted to know more about his life and so picked up this biography written by Ashlee Vance. To be frank, I fell in love with the way the book is written. It is simple yet unique. The book gives a clear insight into Elon Musk's life in general. As for my excitement, let me give you a piece of basic information from the book. "Elon Musk is a fan of reading books" That is right. That was the very first fact that hooked me into reading more about his life. He even read books about Rocket Science to become the CEO of SpaceX himself as he found no one suitable to...

Tim Cook by Leander Kahney

Hey there, this is GKR . Right after reading the book Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson , I was inspired by two other people mentioned in that book. One was Jony Ive and the other was Tim Cook. Fortunately, I had bought Tim Cook's book while purchasing my top ten books about CEOs. I gave it a read and here are my thoughts on it. Tim Cook is great. I don't know if he is famous in India but he is great. Being an Indian, especially a person from Chennai, whenever people asked me who was my favourite CEO I would give them only one answer "Sundar Pichai" It was not a wrong fact though, I did like Sundar Pichai. But then, this guy named Leander Kahney made me wonder if Sundar Pichai was really the best CEO of our times. This book portrays how and why Tim Cook is the right successor for Steve Jobs in every aspect. The foremost point is that he is the complete opposite of Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs was a creator, innovator, whereas Tim Cook is the right guy for handli...

Death note

Hey there, this is GKR . Today is February 29, 2020 , a special day. To mark this special day I am writing a blog about my favourite, not just mine but one of the most popular series in Japanese history. This is my most exciting blog ever. Is it because of the title? Yes. DEATH NOTE by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. By far, in the history of hundred plus years of the publishing industry all over the world, Shonen Jump came up with the best series of all time. It all began when a guy with the pen name Tsugumi Ohba submitted a one-shot named Death Note to an editor in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 2003. The short stunned the entire editorial team of Shueisha and thus a go-ahead was given to publish the series in the magazine. They hired the best artists in Japan to do the artwork for this new manga. The artist was Takeshi Obata who was famous for drawing Hikaru no go. The combo delivered as expected. Death note that ran in the magazine from 2003 to 2006 became the best ...
