+### Introduction
+
+
+Animal Farm is one of the good books I came across. The composition of sentences
+are so well, that I found them easy to read. It is less than 100 pages book
+which I completed in two sittings, but your mileage may vary. This book is
+authored by Eric Arthur Blair who is more famous by his pen name George Orwell.
+He is well-known for writing a satire on politics.
+
+
+### Plot summary
+
+There is a group of animals who are living together under one farm. The animals
+are governed by their owner. One night they inspired to free themselves from
+their owner so that they can get freedom of taking their own decisions. They
+rebel against him and succeeded. One group of pigs self-proclaimed themselves as
+educated; thus they requested to take the responsibility of taking any decisions
+of the farm. The animals are moralized by pigs to govern the farm. Every animal
+is happy because they are doing the work of growing food for fellow animals and
+not for any human. In between the owner came with a group of people to take the
+revenge. It is indeed interesting to read how these animals fought against
+humans. As a result of that battle, an amendment is formed in which humans are
+considered as the greatest enemy of them. The story takes many tragic turns
+after that. Declared leaders invest their efforts in making their own lifestyle
+better. Because the leaders are more literate than other animals, they portray
+hypothetical growth in front of little literate or illiterate animals. Such
+imaginary growth helped them to create false faith in fellow animals. Mean a
+while, small dispute happens between leaders which took a big shape. One
+evil-minded leader captures the farm by killing the other leader and democracy
+becomes a dictatorship. The dictator manifests to advance facilities like
+building a windmill. He convinced all the animals to invest their efforts in
+construction. This animal force was previously used to grow food for them. In
+the meantime, a few other battles happen with humans. This broke the farm and
+morals of the animals. It resulted in a shortage of everything. You have to read
+how the head sold the best of animal resources to earn money which he invested
+in advancing his facilities. This is how the independent farm started depending
+on humans. Ultimately the farm becomes bankrupt. Yet animals are in faith that
+the decision made by their captain is in their favor. The struggle continues for
+a while and at the end, the chief is bought by humans by giving high bribe to
+supply whatever the farm is producing.
+
+
+### Closing thoughts
+
+The book has inscribed a deep impression on my soul. We better have to think
+while listening any words from the hegemony. I have stopped following any leader
+blindly. I insist you to not just read, but digest this book in your life.  I am
+thankful to guru [Xitij Shukla](https://www.linkedin.com/in/xitijshukla/) who
+inspire me to read this book. I am so impressed with the writing  by Mr.  Orwell
+that I  bought another book
+[1984](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40961427-1984) written by him. I hope
