Review of God is a Gamer by Ravi Subramanian






About Author:

 Ravi Subramanian, an alumnus of IIM Bangalore, has spent two decades working with global banks in India. All of his works are having his experiences with this world of global banks. He has written If God Was a Banker, The Incredible Banker, The Bankster, Bankerupt and God is a Gamer is the latest work of Ravi. 

Plot: 3/5. 

The plot is the same as other works of Ravi. Revolving around mysteries, secret money, global banks, Foreigner locations and unlimited money along with powerful women characters. Writing Style: 4/5 Here comes ‘God is a Gamer’, one more thriller from Ravi Subramanian. I have read two of his works, The Bankster and God is a Gamer. I found them to be similar with background of global banks, rude CEOs and powerful women characters. The thing I love the most about his novels is the grip it creates on readers. This time Ravi has brought out the concept of Bitcoins, which is quite impressive. The novel starts with an assassination of Gillian Tan and after that one by one murders occur, involving FBI and CBI making the scandal international. In this work Ravi has also included one new craze among people and it is of playing games. How these gaming companies operate and what’s their strategy? I must say, I liked this work of Ravi because it is bit different from other popular fictions now a day flooding the market. It provides reader very good knowledge about gaming world and many more aspects. The cover page of the novel is quite stunning and once again as per trademark, the cover page includes a man in dark shadow. This very feature on cover page arises a mystery as at the end of his works villain is such a character who seems a puppet at beginning. Cover pages of his novels always attract me and this one also took my heart away. Ravi has power to present woman as a weaker as well as a stronger one. His characters have deep secrets within them which amuses reader at the end. Characters like Swami, Malvika reminded me of few characters from Bankster. Tanya, Varun and Gillian are the amusing ones. This time I felt that cops are not presented in a dashing avatar, yet quite intellectual. Same is the case with few characters of God is a Gamer. As it is a thriller fiction, much revelation may destroy the thrill of reading the novel. Writing style of Ravi is fantastic one as he has that power to keep reader engrossed in novel fully. I have read many thrillers and very few have this capacity to keep reader engrossed. 

This work is a good one, yet those who are expecting something unusual or different will be disappointed. It seems similar to The Bankster as it is the only another work I read from same author. 

My overall rating for this work is 3/5.

Review of Mother Sparsh Baby Body Wash

Image
Hey beautiful ladies out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Thanks to my darling Jisha I rarely get time to review products. But I must say with her arrival in my life I have also got an opportunity to review baby products. Being new mommy I was curious about using chemical laden products on my tiny angel. So I searched a bit about Ayurvedic baby products. As I searched a bit , came across many brands but a brand named Mother Sparsh grabbed my attention.  I got whole kit of Mother Sparsh's all products. The kit in which I got all the products is quite spacious and bigger one. Every time I travel, I use same kit to carry my baby's medicines and other toiletries.  Now let's come to the product which I will be reviewing today. It's Mother Sparsh baby body wash.  Key ingredients:  All ayurvedic Ingredients like Aloe vera leaves, Neem bark, Holy basil leaves, Olive oil, Turmeric,   Product claims:  It claims to clean the skin, retains moisture ...

She is Mardaani

मैं हूँ वो तोहफा ईश्वर का, जो जन्मा एक हड्डी के टुकड़े से. मैं हूँ वो ठंडी सी हवा, जो आँधी भी बन सकती हे. मैं हूँ वो छोटा सा ज़रना, जो बाढ़ भी बन सकता हे, मैं हूँ वो हलकी सी बौछार, जो अतिवृष्टि भी बन सकती हे. मैं हूँ वो बिखरने वाली लहर, जो सुनामी बन सकती हे. मैं हूँ वो अबला नारी, जो जरुरत पड़ने पे मर्दानी भी बन सकती हे. From the moment God decided to create Eve from rib of Adam, He gave a kind of authority to Man , to rule and mistreat Woman. From the primitive age Woman is considered as the  weaker sex and always considered as a “Creature created by God to entertain, to serve, to please Man.” These few words represent the mentality of Man for Woman and throws light on the ‘dark corners of the stage, where woman cries, when away from stage’, applies extra make up to hide the wounds and to be called a fashionable Diva. Everything has got certain limitations in this world and whenever this limitation is crossed the unexpected happens. Same is the case with Wo...

Holi skincare tips with Cocodew Cold pressed Coconut Oil

Image
Ask me which festival is my favourite and I will choose Holi over any festival. Colourful faces beaming with joy is everything to me.  After arrival of Jisha I took break from Holi for 2 years because of my fear of harmful chemicals affecting her delicate skin.  She loves Holi but I made her play with water and she would ask why can't we play with colours. So after bit of research and tricks last year I discovered one trick that would let us play Holi without fear of damaging our skin or hair. To play Holi without getting affected by harmful chemicals You need 2 things.  1. Cold pressed Virgin Coconut Oil. 2. Good Sunscreen Lotion. Market is flooded with various brands claiming to sell Cold pressed coconut oil but very few actually stand by their claim. Recently I got this Cold pressed coconut oil from brand named Cocodew.  Decided to use this for Jishu's skin and loved the way it made her skin softer and shinier. I have made it our routine to...
