What Does It Take to Keep Living? — Parts of Living by Sindhura Chamala, reviewed by Dr. Sameer Gudh

There are people who look lonely.And then there are people who have become so good at living alone that nobody thinks to ask if they are lonely.Meera is one of them.At fifty, she has a job. A routine. A home. A life that, from the outside, seems perfectly manageable.She wakes up. Goes to work. Comes back. Follows her routines.Nothing is falling apart.Except perhaps Meera herself.That is where Sind...

Desire Never Left the Kitchen: How Laura Esquivel Rewrote the Rules of the Domestic Heroine

Those who know me are aware of my unhealthy obsession with anything Latin-American. I actively seek books, content, and movies emerging from that region. In fact, I started learning Spanish because I read an extremely passionate poem by Pablo Neruda in college and was, well, obsessed. Needless to say, my brain immediately associates passion with Spanish, and it isn’t without reason. After all, the...

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...

The Universe listens!!

15th September 2018, a day before my birthday, my family hadn’t started celebrating Ganeshotsav yet in USA. My parents continue to manage from India after almost half a decade,I left my motherland. May be that guilt that day was overwhelming me and I had a moment I felt I stated the inevitable, having track record of miracles happening around me with the divine presence of Lord Ganesh. I was famou...

Living behind the lens

The other day, I picked up my camera and looked through the viewfinder. But instead of pressing the shutter, I stopped. It made me wonder why we feel this constant, basically automatic urge to record every single moment. Does taking a photo actually help us remember things better, or does it change how our memories work? When we experience a memory in our life through our phone screen or...

When Love Opens a Door to Another World: Uneetaria by Sean Walker — A Review by Sameer Gudhate

Sometimes love doesn’t just change two people.Sometimes it changes the world they are standing in.That is the intriguing idea at the centre of Sean Walker’s UNEETARIA, the first book in The Uneetaria Saga.Jalen and Amara begin with a connection.But theirs is not the kind of connection that ends with two people simply falling in love.Their bond opens a door.And behind that door is Uneetaria.A world...

When Justice Failed, Fear Ruled: A Review of The Shadow of Evil by Jigs Ashar & Sarthak Dasgupta — B

There are crimes so brutal that they refuse to remain inside police files. They become part of a city’s memory. Parents whisper about them to protect their children. Entire neighbourhoods measure time by what happened before and after. The Shadow of Evil belongs to that unsettling category of true crime — not because it glorifies violence, but because it forces us to confront what happens when vio...

Every generation believes its struggles are unique.Maybe they are.Maybe they aren’t.Anxiety has a different name today. Overthinking has become a personality trait. Career pressure begins before adulthood. Social media has turned comparison into a daily habit. We carry entire conversations inside our heads long after they have ended.That is exactly where The Gita for Gen Z by Rania Sen begins.Not ...
