Book Synopsis What's Wrong with You, Karthik? by : Siddhartha Vaidyanathan
Download or read book What's Wrong with You, Karthik? written by Siddhartha Vaidyanathan and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2020-08-07 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing ‘Fun, entertaining, delightful’ — Rahul Dravid ‘A warm, minutely detailed evocation of boyhood . . . textured like life itself’ — Samanth Subramanian A charming tale of a young schoolboy trying to find his place in a changing world. Twelve-year-old Karthik Subramanian has just been granted admission into St George’s, an elite boys’ school in Bangalore that has supported the academic lives of ‘four state cricketers, one India captain, tens of professors, hundreds of doctors, engineers and scientists, thousands of chartered accountants ...’ In this most exalted of institutions, Karthik yearns for recognition as an academic superstar. Rigorously prepped by his parents and grandfather, dutifully offering his prayers to Lord Ganesha, Karthik steps into this new world. But nothing has prepared him for the challenges that lie in wait and he is left to himself to navigate the cruelties of school life, and the transition into adolescence. The less his family learns about his friends, the better. There are threats all around, even violence. Brilliant in its observations of a motley cast of characters, and finely calibrated for humour and sadness, What’s Wrong with You, Karthik? is a poignant, exuberant debut from a writer of rare calibre.

Book excerpt: From the award-winning author of Finding Mighty, a moving middle-grade novel about finding your place by following your heart Karthik Raghavan is good at remembering things. Like his bike routes. Or all the reasons he likes Juhi Shah—even if she doesn’t even know he exists. It doesn't help that she seems to have a crush on his arch nemesis, Jacob Donnell, whose only job is to humiliate Karthik (and get his name wrong). Then Karthik's luck changes when he secretly agrees to be in a play about the famous musician, Leonard Bernstein. But he can't tell his parents. The family store is in jeopardy, and they need him delivering groceries on his bike to help save it. His mom is also worried about the Financial Crisis, and she's convinced that studying hard and staying focused is the only way to succeed. But Karthik is having fun being Lenny. Besides, what if acting is Karthik’s special talent? And what if acting is the one way to catch Juhi Shah’s attention? With all the pressure from his family to succeed, will Karthik be able to really imagine and hope when he’s not sure what will happen next?

Book excerpt: It has been a year of change since Gemma Doyle arrived at the foreboding Spence Academy. Having bound the wild, dark magic of the realms to her, Gemma has forged unlikely and unsuspected new alliances both with the headstrong Felicity and timid Ann, Kartik, the exotic young man whose companionship is forbidden, and the fearsome creatures of the realms. Now, as Gemma approaches her London debut, the time has come to test those bonds. As her friendship with Felicity and Ann faces its gravest trial, and with the Order grappling for control of the realms, Gemma is compelled to decide once and for all which path she is meant to take. Pulled forward by fate, the destiny Gemma faces threatens to set chaos loose, not only in the realms, but also upon the rigid Victorian society whose rules Gemma has both defied and followed. Where does Gemma really belong? And will she, can she, survive?
Download or read book Don't Startup written by Karthik Kumar and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one tells you that: • Money is seldom the reason why people don’t start businesses – fear of money is. • Failures will far outnumber successes. Make failure a friend. Become familiar with it – know how to look it in the eye and find out more about it. • People do business with people they like and are familiar with. To most people, YOU are the business. • There is no good or bad investor; there are only right or wrong investors. • What makes an entrepreneur special is the bridge of intelligence between the left and the right brain, the bridge between Business and Art. Through this never-before-seen side of entrepreneurship, Karthik Kumar explores the various emotional challenges an entrepreneur faces and also tells you how to overcome them. Don’t Startup is not about giving you the knowledge and the know-hows of starting up. It is about imparting the wisdom that Karthik has gained from his journey and how that wisdom will be the strength in yours.
Download or read book After Meat written by Karthik Sekar and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animals make for terrible technology. The technological use of animals--making food, drugs, clothing, and cosmetics out of animal material--will cease. A cow takes over one year to grow, "wastes" over ninety percent of what it's fed, and cannot be innovated much further. After Meat explains the fundamental limits of animal technology in terms of physics and biology. Replacement technology such as microbial fermentation will surpass those limits. Eventually, we'll have food that is better in every way--in terms of taste, cost, nutrition, resource consumption, and ethics--because we won't use animals to produce it. Along the way, After Meat leads us through a veritable forest of adjacent topics. We wade into evolution and reductivism, broach consciousness and the Multiverse, dive into economics and policy, bounce from weather prediction to the problem of hunger to the morality of eating plants. In sum, we ineluctably conclude that our future has little room for animal technology, and that future will be better for it.
Book Synopsis A Human's Guide to Machine Intelligence by : Kartik Hosanagar
Download or read book A Human's Guide to Machine Intelligence written by Kartik Hosanagar and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wharton professor and tech entrepreneur examines how algorithms and artificial intelligence are starting to run every aspect of our lives, and how we can shape the way they impact us Through the technology embedded in almost every major tech platform and every web-enabled device, algorithms and the artificial intelligence that underlies them make a staggering number of everyday decisions for us, from what products we buy, to where we decide to eat, to how we consume our news, to whom we date, and how we find a job. We've even delegated life-and-death decisions to algorithms--decisions once made by doctors, pilots, and judges. In his new book, Kartik Hosanagar surveys the brave new world of algorithmic decision-making and reveals the potentially dangerous biases they can give rise to as they increasingly run our lives. He makes the compelling case that we need to arm ourselves with a better, deeper, more nuanced understanding of the phenomenon of algorithmic thinking. And he gives us a route in, pointing out that algorithms often think a lot like their creators--that is, like you and me. Hosanagar draws on his experiences designing algorithms professionally--as well as on history, computer science, and psychology--to explore how algorithms work and why they occasionally go rogue, what drives our trust in them, and the many ramifications of algorithmic decision-making. He examines episodes like Microsoft's chatbot Tay, which was designed to converse on social media like a teenage girl, but instead turned sexist and racist; the fatal accidents of self-driving cars; and even our own common, and often frustrating, experiences on services like Netflix and Amazon. A Human's Guide to Machine Intelligence is an entertaining and provocative look at one of the most important developments of our time and a practical user's guide to this first wave of practical artificial intelligence.
Book Synopsis Unshackling India by : Ajay Chhibber
Download or read book Unshackling India written by Ajay Chhibber and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As India enters its seventy-fifth year of independence, conventional policy is unlikely to combat the breadth of its economic challenges. Across a range of areas-human capital, technology, agriculture, finance, trade, public service delivery and more-new ideas must now be on the table. The COVID-19 pandemic has not only cost India many lives and livelihoods, it has also exposed major structural weaknesses in the economy. A huge farm and jobs crisis, rising and massive inequalities, tepid investment growth, and chronic banking sector challenges have plagued the economy, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It has also exposed the limitations of the Indian state, which tries to control too much-and ends up stifling the economy and the inherent energies of its young population. Climate change is no longer a distant threat, while disruptive technology has huge implications for India's demographic dividend. In addition, the dangerous lurch towards majoritarianism will cast its shadow on India's pursuit of prosperity for all. Unshackling India examines the question: Can India use the next twenty-five years, when it will reach the hundredth year of independence, to restructure not only its economy but rejuvenate its democratic energy and unshackle its potential-to become a genuinely developed economy by 2047? The book argues that India can foster a prosperous and inclusive economy if it sets its mind to it, acknowledges the hard truths, and lays out the clear choices and new ideas India must adopt towards that end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kartik: Yes, I want to be successful, and that's not a crime. Trust me, I too would have wanted the same as Ms. Stupid, but I can't toss away my hard-work of years for a girl. We would have had a beautiful love story had she not been my boss's daughter. Sahana: I know he’s ambitious and doesn't know his heart well. But I'm sure one day Mr. Logical will come to my way of thinking, and we'll have a beautiful life together thereafter. He flirted with her for five days; she waited for him for five years, only to be shattered irrecoverably one day. Logic seems to be winning the battle, until destiny refuses to move on and adamantly brings them face to face again.

Book Synopsis A Great and Terrible Beauty by : Libba Bray

Book Synopsis Horn OK Please - HOPping to Conclusions by : Kartik Iyengar
Download or read book Horn OK Please - HOPping to Conclusions written by Kartik Iyengar and published by . This book was released on 2011-03-31 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horn OK Please (HOP) depicts India from the perspective of an unusual individual, one who is a successful executive in the Indian corporate sector. The book is targeted toward the educated urban class, young working professionals, NRIs, and anyone who wants to know what the outlook and life of the urban working professional is in India today. It offers hope, portraying a movement beyond the mere struggle for existence, a freedom from the mundane and an aspiration for a better society underlined with a passion for driving coupled with a lust for life. It delves into the joys of crass commercialism, a dream of long drives lived through the book and culminating in a positive view of India as a nation that will be an eye-opener for the world. Although not a travelogue in the true sense, the book illustrates a journey of sorts with a large part of the book actually written on a road trip while also including reflections from various stages of Kartik's life. Every chapter begins with a sarcastic poetic snippet, goes on to set the context, present his points of view and culminates in a warped moralistic end from a virtual community. Through the book Kartik uses techniques like feigned ignorance, unacceptable slang (mostly understood only by a handful of social media geeks) to ask rudimentary, thought provoking and sometimes merely provoking questions. The hopefulness is, however evident in every kilometer of the book which looks at the goodness and prosperity that is clearly visible across a booming India. The second book is already in progress and is titled "Horn OK Please The SCROTUM Scrolls".The narratives range from his experiences in adventure sports to incidents involving hospital visits. There are many accounts from foreigners who have traveled across the country. In contrast there is an account of someone who portrays himself as a moron with a low IQ, also addressing readers in the same vein while taking them on a journey that shows them his perspective of the country, eloquently disproving moronic notions along the way. This book will shatter the illusion of docile corporate workers in a nation that is considered to be humorless, self-effacing and living in its past glory.
