Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of Manhood Womanhood Let’s Talk Humanhood by Chirasree Bose

Have you ever had a conversation that left you lighter, as if someone had quietly rearranged the furniture of your thoughts? That’s exactly how I felt after finishing Manhood Womanhood Let’s Talk Humanhood by Chirasree Bose. This isn’t the kind of book that shouts its wisdom at you; instead, it leans in close, lowers its voice, and says, “Let’s just talk.”Chirasree Bose, already an acclaimed autho...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of Unleashing Your Radiant Self by Masarrat Ahmad Shah

I’ll admit it — I’m a skeptic when it comes to self-help books. Too many of them blur into one another, offering quick-fix formulas or lofty promises that rarely feel grounded in real life. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve started one, only to put it aside halfway through because the voice felt distant or the advice, recycled. But Masarrat Ahmad Shah surprised me with Unleashing Your Ra...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of Let the Caterpillar Fly by Yashpal Sharma

Last week, on one of those restless evenings when scrolling endlessly on my phone wasn’t enough and I craved something more nourishing, I stumbled upon Let the Caterpillar Fly by Yashpal Sharma. The title itself hooked me — I mean, who hasn’t felt like a caterpillar, heavy with unrealized potential, secretly wondering if wings might be hiding somewhere inside? That image alone made me pause, and I...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of His Last Note by Harshitha Rajala

There are some stories that don’t knock at your door with grand entrances — they slip in quietly, like a whisper in a crowded room. His Last Note by Harshitha Rajala is one of those. It doesn’t come at you with noise or spectacle, but with the fragile intimacy of two strangers exchanging scribbles on paper, and before you know it, you’re holding your breath, waiting for the next note as if it were...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of Awakener: Authorized Biography of a Yogi by Katia Mossin

You know that feeling when a book doesn’t just sit in your hands, but seems to breathe in the room with you? That was me with Awakener: Authorized Biography of a Yogi by Katia Mossin. I picked it up thinking it would be another spiritual biography — a genre I’ve read plenty of, from Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi to more modern accounts. But within a few pages, I realized this wasn’t just abo...

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 The Algorithmic Fortress: Securing Our Future in the Age of Generative AI and Omnipresent Data by Tanvi Desai, Jatinder Singh, and Rakesh Kumar Pal

You know that strange moment when you realize your phone somehow knows you better than you know yourself? Like the time I searched for “running shoes” once and, for the next week, Instagram behaved as though I was preparing for the Olympics. That’s the feeling I carried with me as I opened The Algorithmic Fortress: Securing Our Future in the Age of Generative AI and Omnipresent Data by Tanvi Desai...

Sameer Gudhate presents the Book Review of 5 Killer Habits — Be a Rebel by Sree Krishna Seelam

Have you ever had a book look you straight in the eye and say, “Stop existing — start living”? That’s the feeling I got when I picked up Sree Krishna Seelam’s 5 Killer Habits — Be a Rebel. It didn’t just whisper advice; it challenged me, almost dared me, to rethink how I move through the world.Seelam isn’t a newcomer to self-development — he’s spent decades reading, distilling, and living these le...

Sameer Gudhate presents the Book Review of The Whispering Delulu by Dr. Sohil Makwana

There’s a certain thrill in picking up a book by an author you already trust to mess with your mind — in the best way possible. For me, that’s what happened when I cracked open The Whispering Delulu by Dr. Sohil Makwana. I’d read his Murdrum duology and The Sleepwalker’s Lullaby before, so I knew to expect sharp twists and a mind-bending premise. What I didn’t expect was just how strange, layered,...
