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 sat in the middle of the night, lamp dimmed low, book in hand, and felt the silence around you suddenly grow heavy — almost alive? That’s what happened to me when I picked up After the Gods Fell Silent by Parul Mathur. I’d expected a mythological spin, maybe a familiar retelling of gods and wars. What I got instead was something quieter, stranger, and far more unsettling — a world wh...
You know that moment when you close a book and just…sit there, staring into nothing, because your mind hasn’t caught up with your heart? That was me with Pronounced Guilty by Monica Singh. I’d picked it up expecting a courtroom drama of sorts, maybe something legal-thriller-ish, but what I got was much more layered, much more unsettling — and, honestly, much more human.The premise itself hooked me...
Have you ever read a book that feels less like “reading” and more like sitting with an old friend who speaks in poetry? That’s exactly how I felt with Usi Lamhe Ki Khatir. Right from the very first couplet —“दैरो-हरम में रहता है या कहीं और, नहीं पताइबादत, आह और दुआ को मालूम है उसका पता”— I knew I wasn’t just turning pages, I was stepping into a world where spirituality, love, humanity, and philoso...

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...
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...
Every once in a while, you come across a book that doesn’t just tell a story — it pulls you through time and drops you in the middle of it. That’s exactly what happened with The Diomedeia: Diomedes, the Peoples of the Sea, and the Fall of the Hittite Empire by Gregory Michael Nixon. From the first chapter, I felt as though I were standing on sun-scorched Anatolian soil, surrounded by the clash of ...
