Game Changers by Ayaz Menon| Book review

Book review:

Cricket is the soul of India. But how this game came into shape and grew so firmly in the minds of Indians that no other game could be so popular than cricket. I was familiar about its fan following but never pondered on the history of its emergence. When I got a chance to read few snippets of conversations with popular game Changers, I was spellbound.

"Game Changers" by Ayaz Menon is a fascinating and captivating journey that leads its readers on a voyage through 18 pivotal moments that have reshaped Indian Cricket's narrative. Every chapter encourages the reader to delve into the rich tapestry of cricket's history, with insights and match summarizes of memorable matches, right from the pre Independence era to its relentless evolution to become the sport that it is today.

I was literally intrigued to read about Cricket evolution, Ranjitsinghji, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, Mohinder Amarnath and many more. The stories behind the scenes is vividly depicted along with beautiful pictures of the matches or team winning trophies.

Few of the anecdotes from the book that piqued me :

📍"You gotta be no. 1 Nobody remembers no 2. !"

📍"With focus and hard work, anything is possible. Keep working, Keep believing."

💥" Do not give excuses about the lack of opportunities ".

Pick a challenge that everyone else feels they cannot overcome. Go and give it a try. And you will end up not just doing it but you will also be their first person to do it.

The author has well researched about minute details and shared in the best colourful method that the facts become highlighted. Though it was bit difficult to understand the annual report as a lay person in finance but could easily understand that it is improving day by day and doing its best for all its game Changers.

Overall, this book is a life changing book for all cricket fans to know more about cricket and its related terms. As this book is a limelight of many cricketers irrespective of gender, I appreciate the transparency of each detail and interviews of our loved cricketers. I enjoyed reading this thought provoking book. Worth reading, do grab it!

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness by Deekay

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness for Combating Overthinking, Achieving Stress Relief, and Attaining Absolute Peace Deekay | Book Review What is turbulence? Any thoughts, or have you ever tried to tame any animal? I remember watching circus shows organised once a year in the city's open area for all the locals to enjoy. There I used to cherish the person who tamed the elephants or the lion (if any). But today I thought of taming my mind. Every second our thoughts are randomly moving and giving us goosebumps. Nowadays people have so many threads of work looming in their minds that they feel like completing but fail to prioritise. To dive into a river is not easy. But only a few people have the calibre to do that. The same is true with diving in your mind. This practice needs calmness of mind and anxiety levels to be very low. I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...
