Playing to Win
The language looks a disappointing translation from Hindi to English, and the forced editing at some places has made many points/expressions look out of point. Language is rather confusing, and many points are redundant making the book extremely slow and painful to read. Special mention goes to the repeated usage of 'either mummy or papa', 'neither papa nor mummy' instead of simply using Parents. A little creative use of altering words to 'my father/mother' or 'my parents' or any other available alternate word would have made the book a bit easy to read.
