Sameer Gudhate presents the Book Review of The Diomedeia: Diomedes, the Peoples of the Sea, and the Fall of the Hittite Empire (Diomedeia Series Book 1) by Gregory Michael Nixon

Every once in a while, you come across a book that doesn’t just tell a story — it pulls you through time and drops you in the middle of it. That’s exactly what happened with The Diomedeia: Diomedes, the Peoples of the Sea, and the Fall of the Hittite Empire by Gregory Michael Nixon. From the first chapter, I felt as though I were standing on sun-scorched Anatolian soil, surrounded by the clash of ...

Sameer Gudhate presents the Book Review of Madness of Waiting by Muhammad Hadi Ruswa, Krupa Shandilya and Taimoor Shahid

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...

But Anirudhya Mitra doesn’t just retell it — he takes you behind the y...

Sameer Gudhate presents the Book Review of The Ayodhya Alliance by Ashwin Sanghi

Do you remember that childhood evenings spent listening to tales from the Ramayana or Mahabharata? Stories of epic wars, hidden weapons, whispered secrets. Now imagine someone picking up one of those stories, brushing the dust off, adding a layer of science and sprinkling in some international espionage. That, in a nutshell, is The Ayodhya Alliance — Ashwin Sanghi’s latest and perhaps most ambitio...

Sameer Gudhate presents the Book Review of Tales from the Indian Jungle by Kenneth Anderson

There’s something deeply magnetic about the Indian jungle — its mysteries, its silences, and the primal thrill it awakens in us. I remember as a child, huddling under a blanket with a torch, reading jungle tales and imagining myself as the fearless explorer. So when I stumbled upon Kenneth Anderson’s hunting narratives, I knew I was in for a nostalgic yet fresh journey.Anderson, born in 1910 in Br...

What I didn’t know was that this slim memoir, written by a girl not even out of primary school, would leave me sleepless and wide-eyed, grappling with questions no ten-year-old should ever have to answer.This is the ...

Sameer Gudhate presents the Book Review of RISING: 30 Women Who Changed India by Kiran Manral

Do you remember the first time a woman’s story made you sit up, smile, and silently whisper, “I want to be like her”? Maybe it was Indira Gandhi on the news, or Mary Kom on the podium, or your mother silently winning life’s daily battles.
