Books versus Films

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 less information in film/series than books


 I am not blaming the filmmakers. It is a great medium for storytelling. I only am against the adaptation of books to films because it makes no sense in most of the films. Lord of the rings was the only film series that came close to the experience you get by reading the book. Most of the filmmakers are better off writing their own stories for films rather than adapting novels to make films.

Try reading Harry Potter as a book series, try reading Game of Thrones and Lord of the rings. You will understand my point of view.
The ratio of people who watch movies and people who read books should always be equal for society to develop in terms of literacy.

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 ...
