The Toughest Battles in Shadows & Goals Are Never Played on the Football Field — Sameer Gudhate Refl

Every football match ends with a scoreline. Life rarely does. We remember the trophy, the missed penalty, the winning goal, but the conversations that never happened, the sacrifices made quietly at home, and the fears carried long after the stadium empties never find their way onto the scoreboard. That is the territory Devendra Garware chooses to explore in Shadows & Goals. Football gives the stor...

Beyond the Therapy Room: Sameer Gudhate on Kareena Mehta’s Letters from Your Therapist: On Love and

Some books arrive with arguments. Others arrive with answers. Letters from Your Therapist: On Love and Loss arrives with something far less common: permission. Permission to admit that grief does not always follow bereavement, that love can exist alongside resentment, and that healing is often less dramatic than the stories we tell about it. In a culture where emotional endurance is frequently mis...

The Covenant of Water

Often, when you read fiction, you’re eager to finish the book. You want to see how everything comes together and what the climax will be.

From My Window..

Last week, I recalled this scene from my childhood from the good old 90s.My friends and I used to play in a huge pile of fresh sand, meant for construction near my house. We got shovel lookalikes and built ‘‘sand houses’’ there. I don't think we had any idea of “sand castles” then, so we made houses. Also dens and tunnels. Evenings were busy playing in this sand patch. Nobody objected, nobody dist...

Sameer Gudhate Reflects on Saga of The Djinn’s Daughter: Every Family Inherits Something

There was a moment, somewhere around midnight, when I looked up from the page and instinctively glanced toward the dark corner of my room. Nothing was there. Of course nothing was there. Yet Saga of The Djinn’s Daughter — Book 1: The Night of Fire had quietly altered the atmosphere around me in the way only certain stories can. The ceiling fan continued its familiar hum. A distant vehicle passed o...

Sameer Gudhate on Unshakable Confidence: When Life Pressed Reset — Lessons from Anand Modi’s Extraor

There is a particular kind of silence that arrives after reading about someone standing at the edge of everything they once were.I experienced that silence while reading Unshakable Confidence: The Anand Modi Story. Not because the book tries to shock the reader, but because it quietly forces you to confront a difficult question: Who are you when the life you built with your own hands suddenly disa...

Sameer Gudhate Reflects on Where the Highway Ends: Some Journeys Repair More Than Cars

There was a moment while reading Where the Highway Ends when I found myself staring at the ceiling instead of the page. Not because the book had become difficult, but because it had quietly opened a door to a memory I had not visited in years. I remembered sitting beside my father on a humid Maharashtra afternoon, listening to him explain something with complete certainty while I pretended not to ...

Daily write - Day 3

She said she forgave me. Then she locked the door.She was excited the whole day and the whole week. Next day was the Saturday I promised I would take her out on. I wondered how to talk to her regarding the unexpected change of deadlines at the office today. As night fell, I mustered up the courage and explained it all with a heartfelt sorry. She was kind enough to accept the changes and smiled at ...
