Hey there, this is GKR . In this era, people who watch films and series are more than that of the people who read books. Game of Thrones and Harry Potter has more viewers as a Film and Series but has fewer readers comparatively as book series. Why is this difference important? It is important because people do not understand how books can change their lives. They do not understand how books can create an impact on how they live, how they work and how they die. Let me give you an insight. Disadvantages of watching a film adaptation of novels: It destroys your imagination There is a lot of detailing in books than in films/series. Lots of character flaws can be found in films as they have less time to get deeper into character emotions You get to spend less time with the characters and the story Technical flaws in the film/series might make the story fail. For example if the visual effects are not par with the imagination of the original author then it fails. There is

Hey there, this is GKR . There is always a dilemma for beginners if they should buy a book as a paperback or buy a Kindle device to read the books as E-books. I prefer paperbacks. It is fun to hold the book in your hand while reading. It feels real. But it also comes with some disadvantages like cost, weight etc. Let me brief you about my experience in using Kindle for reading and buying paperbacks for reading. Advantages of Paperbacks: You get the feel of actually reading and completing the book. Turning pages feels like a reward. Paperback books smell good. It boosts your motivation to read more. Does not require batteries or electricity to read These books if preserved well will be with you in your library for a lifetime. Advantages of Kindle/E-reader: It is small and convenient It can hold thousands of books Books are cheaper Easy to take your device while on travel Easy to read in low light Paperbacks take up a lot of space whereas Kindle

Hey there, this is GKR . Sometimes we feel a bit out of emotion while reading certain books. But also some books bring out all the hidden emotions within us. One such series is Miki Falls by Mark Crilley. It is a cute romantic fantasy that is four volumes long. It is a short read though as it has very fewer dialogues and more artwork to focus on. I bought this series as a Christmas vacation read when I was in high school. I loved it back then but I doubt if I would love it now if I had read it now. It is a tale focused mainly at teenagers and so I recommend you read this if you are a teenager or you can gift this to your teenage friend. The story is neat and crisp within any lag. The artwork is a bit lame at times but eventually, it gets better. It will surely be a fun short read for kids and teenagers.

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

Hey there, this is GKR . I love both Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadella and so I wanted to know more about their childhood and their passions. I just completed reading the so-called biography of Satya Nadella by Jagmohan S.Bhanver. The book is titled "Nadella - The changing face of Microsoft." But the book talks more about Steve Balmer than Nadella.  Satya Nadella is indeed a guy who prefers a private life but the facts in the book are too general that we can read in Wikipedia. This is not a review blog but I can say for sure that this book is not worth the time and money. The same author has also written the book "Pichai - The future of Google." This book is about Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet. This book has some valuable information about the man himself but still lacks the same flow of the read. It starts with great information about his childhood but then suddenly dives into the lives of other Google employees and founders of Google r

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

Hey there, this is GKR . I just read this fun book written by Ryan Higa, the famous Youtuber. He has a Youtube channel named Niga Higa which has about 21 million subscribers as of March 2020. He wrote and published a book called How to write good-well. The might seem like a self-help book by the title but in reality, it is his autobiography. It is an entertaining book that also gives great information about his childhood. It is inspirational to know that such a famous Youtuber was once bullied in school and was illtreated by his own brother. There is also a famous draw my life video on Youtube that he published on his own channel. The book is also very creative by adding comic strips to help engage the readers. I can't recommend this book for general readers but if you are an ardent fan of his Youtube channel then go ahead and have fun knowing his childhood life.
