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...

What is karmic debt? How to clear it for a successful life

Ever felt like you're stuck in a loop, facing the same challenges over and over? You might be dealing with karmic debt—a spiritual IOU from past actions. Understanding and clearing this debt can pave the way for a more successful and fulfilling life. ​​ What is karma and how does it influence our lives? Karma, a concept rooted in ancient spiritual traditions, operates on the principle of cause and effect. Essentially, it suggests that our actions, thoughts, and intentions create energy that returns to us in kind. This universal law implies that positive deeds lead to favourable outcomes, while negative actions result in undesirable consequences. ​ In my own life, I have observed how acts of kindness often lead to unexpected blessings.
