The Insider - Review

Government exists to rule the people and bring a change in society for the greater good. The people serving in the Government are given various privileges for serving the people. However, the Government is also run by us, humans.

When our weaknesses overcome the desire to make a better society, there comes the problem. When the supporters of self-welfare are more than the supporters of people welfare, there comes the problem. When some think very strongly to destroy others than uplift others, there comes the problem. When an intelligent and ambitious person lives among a group of corrupted people, there comes the problem...

The book, "The Insider", shows us the journey of Anand among the chaos of oppression and dark politics. The journey was the depiction of serving the people and at the same time solving the maze thrown by his own colleagues. It is about how he managed to provide welfare to people in his state, Afrozabad.

So yeah, that was enough intro for the book, and let's discuss the other details:-

Author? P V Narasimha Rao

Genre? Semi-fiction, political drama; yeah it is neither a pure autobiography nor pure fiction. It's a mixture of both.

Pages? around 800. Yeah the book is a little big (btw what is your biggest book till now? Would love to hear you..!!)

Need of dictionary? Well, the book is a rich source of vocabulary. You can learn a ton of words; But yeah, still you can still understand the author's intent even if you chose to skip those words...

Why you should read? For the writing, writing, and writing..! The book explains every situation in very deep and minute detail and you will feel everything that happens in the book.

Also, this book gives a historical perspective from the pre-independence era to India becoming independent, the Indo-China and Indo-Pak wars, and up to some extent of Indira Gandhi. If you are someone who wants to read historical drama, add this to your TBR list..!

Why you should not read? If you are a die-hard fan of fiction, a warning sign for you..! Even though the book was a semi-fictional one, non-fiction dominates a little over the fictional part. But yeah, if you wanna give it a read, you can cling to the fiction part of it.

So finally, if you start the book, keep it in your mind that it will take time to complete it. You will definitely enjoy this book for sure. Here's a snap from the book for you...

Bye-bye strict timetables...! - The Bloggers League 2022

Author: Rama Subrahmanyam (ramasubrahmanyam.m@gmail.com) When we are planning for multi-tasking, we divide our time and allocate it for each task. That is a great thing, as it gives a chance for incremental growth, eventually getting compounded... Scheduling makes us punctual; sometimes forces us to be punctual if someone is counting on us, say an examination, office meeting, so on... Besides strict things, some activities should happen at planned times, like sports, gym, etc. But, we still have things, that can be done in our free time - say reading books, solving puzzles, or learning something of our passion. Should we also maintain the timetable in those cases...? Well, may not be that necessary... We get used to a task at the same time if we have a strict timetable; In a way, can also affect our peace... Suppose due to urgent work, we missed a task - We may develop a bad feeling, - This can lead to frustration, anger, regret, grief... uff... Enough d

How can we become narrow-minded people without realising it?

In science, whenever we observe a novel event, we start sharpening our brains to decode it. We make a couple more observations related to that event, and try to get a reason for it. It was also the same with the previous generation of scientists. They observed various new phenomena and they gathered as much information as possible to get the accurate reason behind them. But there was a problem with the human mind. In the past days, when there was limited information at hand and more time was required for getting new information, scientists had to make the best possible theories (i.e., explanations) with whatever data was available. It was like a competition, where the scientist with the best theory would win. This "winner" scientist, should be able to explain the data from future experiments with the theory. Consider that, a new experiment happened later, but the results were not explained by the theory of our scientist, then the theory was to be changed, and again the compet
