Sameer Gudhate Reviews Faiz Ahmed’s Sumeru Sabers: A Memoir of Friendship, Faith, and Showing Up

There is something revealing about the way adults protect certain rituals. Not because those rituals are important to the world, but because they quietly become important to who they are.Every Sunday morning across Indian cities, cricket grounds fill with people who have already lost the practical argument. They are no longer chasing selection, contracts, or recognition. Many have demanding career...

From My Window..

Last week, I recalled this scene from my childhood from the good old 90s.My friends and I used to play in a huge pile of fresh sand, meant for construction near my house. We got shovel lookalikes and built ‘‘sand houses’’ there. I don't think we had any idea of “sand castles” then, so we made houses. Also dens and tunnels. Evenings were busy playing in this sand patch. Nobody objected, nobody dist...

The World Behind a 10-Minute Delivery: Reflections on Buildit by Albinder Singh Dhindsa | Reviewed b

There is a peculiar modern habit that most of us participate in without thinking about it. We tap a screen, place an order, and begin measuring time in minutes. A packet of biscuits, a bottle of medicine, a charger, even an iPhone appears at the doorstep so quickly that the machinery behind the experience becomes invisible. Convenience has become so ordinary that we rarely ask what it takes to man...

Sameer Gudhate on Unshakable Confidence: When Life Pressed Reset — Lessons from Anand Modi’s Extraor

There is a particular kind of silence that arrives after reading about someone standing at the edge of everything they once were.I experienced that silence while reading Unshakable Confidence: The Anand Modi Story. Not because the book tries to shock the reader, but because it quietly forces you to confront a difficult question: Who are you when the life you built with your own hands suddenly disa...

Is It Possible to Touch the Moon?

The moon defines what makes me happy.I find myself standing in the middle of the road,While everyone passes by around me.I wander, wondering where I want to go—The path whose destination is unknown,Or the one my mind fears to follow.Is it the route that will bring my moon closer to me,Or drift it farther away than it is now?Is it the route that will deepen my fears,Or help me find comfort within t...

Sameer Gudhate Reflects on Where the Highway Ends: Some Journeys Repair More Than Cars

There was a moment while reading Where the Highway Ends when I found myself staring at the ceiling instead of the page. Not because the book had become difficult, but because it had quietly opened a door to a memory I had not visited in years. I remembered sitting beside my father on a humid Maharashtra afternoon, listening to him explain something with complete certainty while I pretended not to ...

Sameer Gudhate Reflects on Taking Charge: Living Beyond Diabetes: When Health Demands a New Beginnin

A few pages into Taking Charge: Living Beyond Diabetes, I found myself thinking about a small crack that once appeared on a wall in my office. At first, it seemed insignificant, easy to ignore. Months later, it had spread across the surface, impossible to overlook. Reading Abhishek Gaggneja’s story evoked that same feeling. Not because our circumstances were identical, but because life’s biggest t...

Chapter 23: The Stories We Carry.

The evening settled comfortably around the team.Dinner had arrived. Conversations flowed effortlessly from one corner of the table to another, bouncing between laughter, teasing and old memories.For the first time in weeks, nobody was discussing deadlines.Or presentations.Or client calls.They were simply people.And Kaia found herself enjoying it more than she expected.Adrian had arrived a few minu...

Sameer Gudhate Reflects on Ruby Kapoor’s I Am, I Can, I Will: For the Parts of Us Still Recovering

Some books arrive loudly, demanding attention from the very first page. I Am, I Can, I Will by Ruby Kapoor arrived differently. It felt like walking into a railway station long after midnight and noticing a lone tea vendor still awake under a flickering tube light — tired perhaps, but steady, warm, and quietly present for whoever needed comfort before the next journey.That is the emotional frequen...
