There are some stories that don’t knock at your door with grand entrances — they slip in quietly, like a whisper in a crowded room. His Last Note by Harshitha Rajala is one of those. It doesn’t come at you with noise or spectacle, but with the fragile intimacy of two strangers exchanging scribbles on paper, and before you know it, you’re holding your breath, waiting for the next note as if it were...
Imagine this: the sound of rain tapping against your window late at night, that soft rhythm that makes the world slow down. You’re curled up with a cup of tea, and suddenly you stumble upon a book that doesn’t just echo the rain outside, but somehow breathes with it.

Rajesh Talwar’s The Witch, The Princess and The Tower of Doom takes this familiar framework and turns it into something far richer, more magical, and surprisingly thought-provoking.H...
There are books that whisper to your soul, and then there are those that leave behind echoes — lingering, lyrical, impossible to shake off. Madness of Waiting is one such echo. Have you ever felt the urge to learn a new language simply because a translation — no matter how brilliant — doesn’t feel enough? That’s exactly what this book did to me. It made me yearn to understand Urdu in its pure, und...
