Sameer Gudhate presents the Book Review of Wisdom Tales from Gita for Children by Deepak Bharwani

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...

Sameer Gudhate presents the Book Review of Smart Kids vs Internet Tricksters by Prisha Dixit & Aman Archika

Remember the first time you gave your child a phone or let them play a game online? You were probably excited and a little nervous — kind of like watching them ride a bike without training wheels for the first time. In today’s hyper-digital world, kids are growing up swiping before they can even speak in full sentences. And while that can be amazing, it also comes with a whole new set of risks mos...

TSITP

That’s the short for “The summer I turned pretty” web series on Amazon Prime. The teenager in the house is mad about it driving me mad too. I remember being that mad about tv shows back then. And about bookish romance too. Heck, I was more interested in Nancy and Ned than Nancy’s adventures or Anne and Peter than the politics around them. The Hardy Boys had way too much action (not that of course!...

Sameer Gudhate presents the Book Review of More than a Mama by Chhavi Mittal

Have you ever looked at a new mother and wondered, Is she still the same person she was before she became a mom? I’ve asked myself that question more than once — especially watching friends who seem to disappear into their new roles, their own identities quietly pushed to the backseat.That’s what makes Chhavi Mittal’s memoir, More than a Mama, such a refreshing and powerful read. Known for her rol...

Sameer Gudhate presents the Book Review of Raising a Father by Arjun Sen

Ever had that sinking feeling that success might be costing you more than it’s worth? That was me when I stumbled upon Raising a Father by Arjun Sen. The title itself was enough to pull at my heartstrings—because it flipped the usual narrative. This isn’t just a parenting book; it’s a soul-searching memoir, a love letter to fatherhood, and a mirror to anyone chasing the wrong kind of success.Arjun...

Malti

Audio versionI sat at a corner table in a small cafe, listening to everything Malti told me.We talked for hours, and when we left, she had that sense of relief, which I wanted to see at the end. Sometimes, it is hard for me to feel what she goes through, but as a human and her close friend, I come very close to how difficult it is for her.Malti has been my neighbour since we were around 6 years ol...

G-Force Parenting

I was watching First Man - a movie about Neil Armstrong. In one scene, he has just docked his spacecraft with the Lunar module during a mission in the lead up to the moon landing. Everything seems fine. Suddenly, their spacecraft starts spinning uncontrollably. They try communicating with the Capcom. But they get no real help. The G force is so strong, the co-pilot passes out. Neil Armstrong is tr...
