There is a peculiar modern habit that most of us participate in without thinking about it. We tap a screen, place an order, and begin measuring time in minutes. A packet of biscuits, a bottle of medicine, a charger, even an iPhone appears at the doorstep so quickly that the machinery behind the experience becomes invisible. Convenience has become so ordinary that we rarely ask what it takes to man...
A few pages into Taking Charge: Living Beyond Diabetes, I found myself thinking about a small crack that once appeared on a wall in my office. At first, it seemed insignificant, easy to ignore. Months later, it had spread across the surface, impossible to overlook. Reading Abhishek Gaggneja’s story evoked that same feeling. Not because our circumstances were identical, but because life’s biggest t...
Those sounds. The sounds of horns blaring as if in a competition. The sound of public bus braking inch by inch stuck in the traffic. The sound of fan in the room. The sound of people talking in the garden below. The sound of kids crying or shouting among them. The sound of keyboard being typed in the next room. The sound of mosquito roaming around near me.

He may be depressed and wanting someo...
Some books arrive with noise. Big drama. Big tragedy. Big declarations about life. One Year by Sweta does something riskier. It quietly walks beside you like that exhausted colleague who waits near the office lift at 9:47 p.m., smiling weakly while pretending everything is manageable. And somewhere between those ordinary moments, the book slips under your skin.I started reading it late at night af...
The map was accurate until we followed it.Day 19. I started with morning walk as usual and yoga, while gym training was scheduled in the evening after work. That day I stayed back at the office. Just to drive her back. To see that smile for one last time!
A bookmark was already waiting a few pages ahead because I was certain I would stop after the first case. It turned out to be one of those optimistic decisions readers make when they underestimate a good mystery.The problem with Bro, We’ve Got A Case! is that it quietly slips into the part of your mind that still remembers what it felt like to believe every locked door hid a secret and every unusu...
