Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of World War 1: A History From Beginning to End by Henry Freeman

There are books that feel like thick tomes, demanding months of your time, and then there are the slender ones — the kind you slip into your bag, read in a single sitting, yet carry with you long after you’ve turned the last page. World War 1: A History From Beginning to End by Henry Freeman belongs to the latter. I opened it one rainy afternoon, thinking I’d skim a few chapters, and before I knew...

sameerSameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of Adideva: 25 Legends Behind His 25 Names by Deepa Bhaskaran Salem

When I was a child, someone told me that Shiva was a god who could wear ashes as perfume, dance in cremation grounds as if they were ballrooms, and yet be the tender husband who tied Parvati’s anklet when it came loose. That image has never left me. So, when I picked up Adideva: 25 Legends Behind His 25 Names by Deepa Bhaskaran Salem, I half expected familiar retellings. Instead, I found myself tu...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of Why the Constitution Matters by D.Y. Chandrachud

There’s a peculiar comfort in leafing through a book that feels like both a mirror and a map. I didn’t expect a book on the Constitution to make me pause mid-page and reflect on my own life, but that’s exactly what happened with Why the Constitution Matters by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud. Imagine sitting in a quiet corner of a café, the hum of conversations around you, and suddenly realizing that the...

The Perfectionist

A beautiful and ultimately sad story of a chef who lived in the highest realms of grand cooking. One of two books that I have read on the topic - the other being Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. And he took his own life too. I have on occasion entertained this fantasy of having my own restaurant and cooking for a living. Of planning out my dining room, what the menu might look like and th...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of The Secret of Secrets by Robert Brown

I didn’t expect to find myself sprinting through the cobbled streets of Prague at midnight, heart hammering, clutching a book that seemed to pulse with its own life, but there I was.Dan Brown is back, after nearly a decade, and he’s brought Robert Langdon with him — the Harvard symbologist whose wardrobe is as memorable as his mind: loafers, turtlenecks, and a Mickey Mouse watch, a little like a l...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of The Chola Tigers: Avengers of Somnath by Amish Tripathi

Imagine this: it’s late at night, the world outside is quiet, and I promise myself, “Just one more chapter.” You know where this is going — I didn’t stop. That’s what Amish Tripathi’s The Chola Tigers: Avengers of Somnath did to me. And honestly, I’m glad I let the hours slip, because this book feels like sitting by a fire while an old storyteller spins a tale of vengeance, courage, and a nation t...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of Bakhtiyarpur: Story of the Destruction of the World’s Intellectual Capital Nalanda by Pankaj Lochan

You know those moments when you stumble on a book that doesn’t just tell a story, but makes you look at the world around you differently? That’s exactly what happened to me with Bakhtiyarpur: Story of the Destruction of the World’s Intellectual Capital Nalanda by Pankaj Lochan. I’ll admit, the first thing that hooked me wasn’t even the pages — it was the haunting irony of a railway station named a...

Sameer Gudhate presents the Book Review of Diomedes in Kyprios by Gregory Michael Nixon

You know those books that feel less like you’re reading and more like you’ve been dropped into another century, salt wind in your hair, bronze gleam of a spear catching the sun? That’s exactly what happened when I picked up Diomedes in Kyprios, Gregory Michael Nixon’s second volume in his Diomedeia series. I’d read enough about the Trojan War in dusty myth anthologies to think I knew the players, ...

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 ...
