What Does It Take to Keep Living? — Parts of Living by Sindhura Chamala, reviewed by Dr. Sameer Gudh

There are people who look lonely.And then there are people who have become so good at living alone that nobody thinks to ask if they are lonely.Meera is one of them.At fifty, she has a job. A routine. A home. A life that, from the outside, seems perfectly manageable.She wakes up. Goes to work. Comes back. Follows her routines.Nothing is falling apart.Except perhaps Meera herself.That is where Sind...

Why Our Instincts Betray Us in the Modern World

Have you ever wondered why so many of our natural tendencies feel... wrong for us?We crave more sugar than we need.We binge-watch shows instead of moving our bodies.We scroll endlessly but struggle to sit and read a book.At first glance, it seems like human instincts are broken. Other animals follow their instincts, live in sync with nature, and evolve. We, on the other hand, seem to be working ag...

Before You Change Your Life, Understand Your Brain: Sameer Gudhate Reviews The Brain Always Wins by

Every conversation about improving our lives usually begins in the wrong place. We talk about better habits, stronger discipline, improved productivity, or greater motivation. Rarely do we begin with the organ that makes every one of those things possible. The Brain Always Wins asks us to reverse that order. Before changing our behaviour, it argues, we should understand the brain that creates it.T...

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.

In a culture where emotional endurance is frequently mis...

People often say they are “overthinking” when what they are really doing is conducting invisible investigations into ordinary moments. A delayed reply becomes evidence. A brief silence becomes a verdict. A neutral expression becomes a story. Somewhere along the way, the mind stops observing reality and begins prosecuting itself.That is the quiet territory Danny Dawson explores in Don’t Let Everyth...

The Courage to Think Aloud: Sameer Gudhate on Kiaan’s Thus Spoke a Madman

There is a peculiar contradiction in the way we speak about mental health. We encourage people to “open up,” yet grow uneasy when they speak without filters. We celebrate vulnerability as long as it remains tidy, hopeful, and easily digestible. The moment pain becomes messy, obsessive, contradictory, or socially inconvenient, we instinctively step back. Kiaan’s Thus Spoke a Madman lives precisely ...

Sameer Gudhate on Weight Wars: When the Scale Measures More Than Weight

Weight is one of the few things society feels entitled to discuss without invitation. At family gatherings, in office corridors, at weddings, even in casual conversations between acquaintances, someone’s body often becomes public property. Advice arrives freely, concern disguises judgment, and humour sometimes carries a sting that lingers far longer than anyone intends. What begins as a conversati...
