Book Review - God is a Gamer

I really admire the writing style of Ravi Subramanian and his book Devil in Pinstripes is one of my favorite books. His latest book God is a Gamer is another stupendous work of writing enthralling its readers all the way. The writer takes us across the globe, New York, Goa, New Delhi each destination raising the pitch of suspense and mystery.

The financial angle common to all his books is present in this one too. It starts off with heads of two multi billion companies, Joseph Saunders and Vijay Banga meeting up. What's so unusual about them meeting up? Well, Vijay is the head of Master Card and Joseph head of Visa. Two intense rivals vying for that same share of the market. But circumstances force them to meet up, circumstances that could prove very bad for both of them and thier companies.It isin this phase that they take a decision. And m
The story revolves around Aditya Rao,a former banker and Varun who happens to be his son. One runs a gambling firm which is suffering losses and Varun the drug dealer could very well save his father's stumbling enterprise. He is has a love interest in Tanya, daughter of the chairperson of NYIB in in India who knows Aditya well.

I am not going into the story plot in detail, for that would spoil your interest in the story. This book is best enjoyed, read slowly and enjoyed till the end. The author has researched his subject well and the extensive study reflects in the book as well.

Best suited for young population in between ages of 21 to 40.if you are a fan of Ravi Subramaniam's work you won't be disappointed.

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Epitome of Equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...
