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...
There’s too much red, green, yellow, and blue,Colors colliding in a blinding hue.The little birdie craves for the white—pure, wide, and deep,Where peace can whisper her softly to sleep.Too much is happening, loud and unclear,Each moment feels tangled in worry and fear.Just once, she wishes to let it all go,To silence the inner noise, let stillness flow.No plans to make, no roles to play,Just she, ...
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...
Some books don’t just land on your shelf — they arrive at the exact moment you need them. For me, The Ikigai Journey was that book. I had heard of Ikigai before — the Japanese concept of finding your reason to wake up each morning — but it always felt abstract. When this beautiful blue hardcover arrived as a gift, it almost felt symbolic, like a quiet nudge from the universe saying, “Now’s the tim...
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 ...
There are books you pick up, and there are books that pick you. This one found me on a slow, reflective afternoon — the kind where emotions sit a little closer to the surface. I was sipping warm water (a new ritual after quitting tea) and mindlessly browsing my shelf when 5 Steps to Heal Yourself Through Emotional Matrix gently called out. It wasn’t the loudest title, but something about it felt g...
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...
Mental Toughness & Iron Will by Patrick King is one of those books that you pick up hoping it’ll hand you a sword to fight life’s dragons. And honestly, it almost does.Let me start with a quick confession: I consider myself someone with a pretty solid iron will. I’ve been through my share of storms, and over time, I’ve learned to stand tall — even when everything around me feels like it’s falling ...
When most people hear the word bachelor, they imagine a guy lounging on a worn-out couch, surrounded by pizza boxes and gaming consoles. While that's not entirely untrue (we all have those weekends), bachelor life is so much more than the clichés.Freedom, but With a CatchOne of the biggest perks of being a bachelor is freedom — waking up when you want, planning your schedule, binge-watching Formul...
There was a time I’d chase sunsets with a camera in one hand and a plan for the perfect Instagram grid in the other. Every frame told a story. Every moment had a caption. Fast forward to now, and I’m mostly capturing toy-strewn floors, sleepy smiles, and half-eaten snacks… all on my phone, for an audience of exactly zero.Life changed. Priorities shifted. And honestly, I don’t miss the likes or the...
