The first time I opened Maya’s Mirage by Manish Reddy, I wasn’t expecting to be pulled in so quickly. But within a few pages, it felt less like reading and more like stepping through a doorway — one that opened into a future both dazzling and unnerving. It’s the kind of story that doesn’t just spin a world for you; it makes you question the one you’re already living in. And while Reddy may be new ...
Have you ever read a book that feels less like a story and more like being invited into someone’s life-changing adventure? That’s exactly what happened to me with Vineeta Muni’s Across the Himalaya — First Women’s Traverse. This isn’t just a travel memoir. It’s an audacious testament to grit, resilience, and the quiet power of dreams — one that made me pause, breathe, and almost hear the whisper o...
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...

Sunsets are just pure magic, right? When the sun dips down and kisses the sea, it’s like the sky throws on this amazing pink and orange outfit. It’s like the universe saying, “Hey, you’re not alone,” because the moon’s about to show up and sprinkle everything with silver light. It’s like a little reminder that endings aren’t really the end—they’re just the start of something new and awesome. Just ...
A view with concrete roofs of multiple buildings, connected to each other by wifi cables. This has been my ideal view for bird watching for the longest time. A view outside my door. Mynas, sparrows, beaters are common birds. Seen daily. Bee-eaters are rarely seen on tress but more on the wires! Eagles also add upto this list. Always seen gazing from the highest point from the roof, be it on overhe...
One of the many awe inspiring sights in Zion National Park.
I am not physically fit and hiking is not my favorite activity. But I do like being in the great outdoors and the perspective it hammers home is necessary every now and then. As a consequence of me being out of shape, I have to take many stops along the way. The steeper the hike , so on and so forth. But this problem opened up another door - I have more opportunities to take pictures. Turn back an...
