Have you ever wondered why so many of our natural tendencies feel... wrong for us?We crave more sugar than we need.We binge-watch shows instead of moving our bodies.We scroll endlessly but struggle to sit and read a book.At first glance, it seems like human instincts are broken. Other animals follow their instincts, live in sync with nature, and evolve. We, on the other hand, seem to be working ag...
Often, when you read fiction, you’re eager to finish the book. You want to see how everything comes together and what the climax will be. But once in a while, you come across a novel you don’t want to end. You get completely engrossed in the world the author has created. You become invested in the lives of the characters and wish you could keep reading about them.The Covenant of Water by Abraham V...

And you have still been the same... It was a rainy day, I had just begun my B.Sc 1st year in GSS college Belgaum, was staying in hostel in the campus itself.

Reposting something I wrote 18 years ago. Funny how one can see more when they know less. It's raining.The streets are empty, except for the occasional cow running for shelter and a car going by, honking continuously in spite of an empty road. Another car pulls in the driveway of a nearby building. While it is backing up,the red taillight and the blinking yellow side indicator are giving momentary...
There are some lives you don’t witness… yet they find a way to stay with you.I never saw Maya in real life. No safari sighting, no fleeting glimpse through the lens, no moment where the forest held its breath and revealed her. And yet, somewhere between these pages of Forever Maya by Anant Sonawane, that absence quietly stopped mattering. Because this isn’t a book that lets you remain outside the ...
This bird of prey enjoyed soaring in the post rain breeze. Felt quite nice to just watch it thread the sky. Do birds do this thing to just show off to their mates when the weather is just right?
A true love letter to New England - not just the forests and the wildlife. But the history and geography. The palimpsest of stories that sometimes cross paths across eras and some that are lost to the vagaries of time. Waiting to be discovered and told.
We are but a passing thought for them. Mildly interesting curiosities at best.
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...
