We live in a time where the first thing many of us do in the morning is check our phone — not for messages from loved ones, but for notifications, likes, and comments. It’s so easy to get trapped in that endless scroll, chasing validation that often feels hollow. That’s why Double Tap on Life by Arwa Baldiwala hit me differently — it’s like someone gently tapped my shoulder and said, “Hey, there’s...
What if you were told your greatest power isn’t out there in the world — but quietly tucked within you, just waiting to be remembered?That’s the soulful question Nihit Mohan asks — and begins to answer — in his insightful book, Human Superpowers: Unlock, Unleash, Uplift. In a world constantly shouting about what we lack, Mohan gently turns the mirror inward, helping us realize that maybe… just may...
There are books that entertain you, and then there are books that quietly walk into your heart and stay there. The Circle of Life by Sudha Murty is one such book. Reading it felt like sitting down with an old friend over a cup of chai and talking about life — the dreams we once had, the people we met along the way, and how everything somehow comes full circle.Sudha Murty, as we know her, is no str...
When I first held Wisdom Tales from Gita for Children by Deepak Bharwani, I was instantly reminded of my childhood nights spent listening to my grandmother’s stories. Those tales were simple but powerful — filled with lessons that quietly shaped who I became. This book feels like a beautiful continuation of that tradition, a way to bring the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita to life for today’s children...
We’ve all heard the story of Rapunzel — a princess in a tower, a witch who locks her away, and a prince who saves the day. But what if I told you there’s a version of this story that doesn’t follow that script at all? Rajesh Talwar’s The Witch, The Princess and The Tower of Doom takes this familiar framework and turns it into something far richer, more magical, and surprisingly thought-provoking.H...
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 ...
When was the last time a book made you question your own definition of freedom? For me, it happened somewhere between the first and last page of Pooja Gowda’s debut memoir, The Great Indian Naturist: A Secret Life Unveiled. It’s not every day you come across a book that dares to tackle a subject so unconventional, especially in an Indian context, and yet feels so disarmingly human.Pooja, born and ...
The moving finger writes and having writ, moved on: not all thy piety not wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, not all thy tears wash out a word of it. P.S.: Read “Remnants of Separation” by Aanchal Malhotra. Well worth your time.
There are thrillers that entertain you, and then there are thrillers that grab you by the collar and refuse to let go until the very last page. Abhaidev’s 13 Minutes Before Midnight firmly belongs in the second category. The title alone teases urgency and mystery, but what truly makes this book stand out is how effortlessly it blends suspense, sci-fi, and philosophical undertones into one addictiv...
Ever felt like life suddenly pulled the floor out from under you? That freefall feeling when comfort zones vanish and you’re flapping around, unsure how to land? Yeah — me too. That’s exactly why Jon Gordon’s The Shark and the Goldfish felt like it swam into my life at just the right time.Jon Gordon isn’t new to writing books that spark motivation when your tank feels empty. You might know him fro...
