Wild Card 3

 

 

There are books that leaves you with a pleasant smile at the end. There are books that come across like a cool breeze and pass by leaving its lingering effect. Wild Card 3 is such a book that leaves you entertained yet leaves you with equal number of questions.

Wild card 3 is third book from the Sports fiction. Wild card is about how different individuals excelling their inner discomfort and disbelief to achieve greatness which might not be about winning the grand slam always. Wild Card 3 made me aware of the challenges and hardships a Paralympic or a differently abled sports person faces. I have always been empathetic towards differently abled and yet there were things I had no idea existed. Kudos to Asfiya Rehman and Chetan Soni for bringing this book to light. Roshni is a blessed daughter of a former grand slam winner who has sacrificed his successful career of take care of a differently abled daughter. Being a single parent is difficult yet he does an outstanding job. The story is likable and the characters are beautifully crafted. If you have friends like these there is nothing in this world that is unachievable. The book talks about the struggle and challenges our society poses to a differently abled. We as citizens and as organization have yet to feel the need and importance of facilities that can cater the needs of differently abled citizens. Roshni is naturally gifted Tennis player and secretly watches games, she aided by her parent’s friends starts training and is improving tremendously. The book charts her journey to the Wimbledon grand slam and talks about various aspects of sporting events and players. The sports fiction is weaved around the emotional dynamic of family and friends and is a delightful read. This is overall a good read considering its plot and crisp storyline. There are a few things that could have been better but thumbs-up for writing on trivial issue.
