The Game of Choices by uthor Anish is such a fresh story to read. Though it is a fiction that revolves around the world of cricket and the presence of mischief conducted by business-minded cheaters like betting syndicates and bookmakers, it imparts some life lessons.
There are many different characters with complex personalities, but our protagonist is the one whose life is focused on. The timelines jump between 2007, 2008, and 2011, but the language is kept lucid and the twists are easy to grasp with a middle-paced plot.
Due to our impulsive nature, sometimes we take hasty actions resulting in long-term damages. The author shares through the plot that we are the products of our choices. Each choice made not only affects us but also many close and far as we are all linked in some way.
The Almighty has plans for each one of us, but in the illusion of the materialistic world where greed and lust exist, we forget the real essence of the non-materialistic things that bring real meaning to our lives. Games are good and entertaining on the field only if they are played with good spirit, but cheating in sports or life ends in the damage of reputation, loss of valuables, and time.
The story shares some insights into how the betting world runs, but nothing can be hidden from the eyes of the law. The author has tried to bring in a wholesome experience by creating something unique, including an animation series and some really cool songs that readers can find on Spotify, Amazon, and YouTube Music.
