Have you ever looked at a new mother and wondered, Is she still the same person she was before she became a mom? I’ve asked myself that question more than once — especially watching friends who seem to disappear into their new roles, their own identities quietly pushed to the backseat.That’s what makes Chhavi Mittal’s memoir, More than a Mama, such a refreshing and powerful read. Known for her rol...
You know those books you pick up thinking, “Oh great, another diet book telling me to eat less and move more”? I thought this would be one of those. I’ve read more health books than I care to admit — some promising magic pills, others swearing by celery juice at 5 a.m. But The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung? This one genuinely surprised me. Dr. Fung, a Canadian nephrologist, shifts the conversatio...
Ever felt like your thoughts are all over the place — one moment you’re planning dinner, and the next, you’re reliving a childhood embarrassment or stressing about next week’s meeting? That mental chaos? I’ve been there too. The Pyramid Mind by Dr. Vlad Beliavsky felt like someone handed me a map to navigate that internal mess. This isn’t your usual self-help book filled with sugary affirmations o...
The pandemic is no longer a breaking headline, but its imprint lingers in our daily lives, fears, and the choices we now make more cautiously. When I picked up COVID-19 AND HUMANITY – A RETRO-INTROSPECTION by Vishnu Mithinti, I didn’t expect it to take me back so vividly—to the eerie silence of lockdowns, the stifling fear of a cough in a grocery store, or the relentless updates of case numbers ri...

Alright, let's dive into \Your Passport to HMT: 3 Pillars of a Great Life\ by Prakash Shah. You know, we all have those moments where we look around and think, \Is this it?\ We're chasing something, but what exactly? It's like trying to juggle three balls: health, money, and time. And let's be real, most of us drop at least one, right? This book aims to change that, especially for students who hav...
I mostly read fiction in 2024 and by the end of it I was looking for a change. While going through Crossword in Indiranagar, Satya saw and suggested this book - Being Mortal by Atul Gawande. I am a big fan of Atul Gawande’s writing. Through stories and anecdotes, he makes complicated matters simple and interesting to read. Long back I had read The Checklist Manifesto and Better. They are one of my...

I am not physically fit and hiking is not my favorite activity. But I do like being in the great outdoors and the perspective it hammers home is necessary every now and then. As a consequence of me being out of shape, I have to take many stops along the way. The steeper the hike , so on and so forth. But this problem opened up another door - I have more opportunities to take pictures. Turn back an...
Today, baaton hi baaton main, we remembered a school friend of husband from his native. He had taken his life few years ago after a framed police case regarding some fraud. We were discussing how sensitive he was from childhood. All the neighbours knew him as a “softy”.
