Disappointing Biographies

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 rather than the life of Sundar Pichai.
These two hundred plus pages books have only twenty or thirty pages of information about the respective people in the title. I wonder how Hachette agreed to publish them. It must have probably been to boost the sales during the peak news of Sundar and Satya becoming the CEOs of Google and Microsoft respectively.



In a nutshell, let's wait for someone like Walter Isaacson to compile the lives of these great CEOs and make it into a great book rather than just publishing a book in India to gain profits with the trending news.

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 ...
