Grey Moon, Red Mars, Green Earth - Chapter 1

Meera sat in the seat next to the porthole through which she could look outside the rocket. Everything was grey. The body of the rocket was grey, the back of the seat on which the entertainment display was mounted was grey, the body of the rocket was grey, and the Moon ahead was grey. She was also not entirely certain what she was going to do once she was on the Moon. She just knew she wanted to g...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of Valedictorian by Shrestha Raychaudhuri

I remember the first time I watched a reality show unfold in real life — the bright lights, the cheers, the subtle whisper of alliances forming in shadows — and felt a strange thrill, a mix of envy and fascination. That same pulse ran through me as I turned the pages of Valedictorian by Shrestha Raychaudhuri, a book that sneaks up on you like a whispered confession and refuses to let go. Shrestha,...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid

There’s something quietly cinematic about reading a Taylor Jenkins Reid novel. You don’t just read her stories — you inhabit them. Her worlds hum with nostalgia, ambition, heartbreak, and hope, all lit by the glow of complex women who refuse to fit neatly into anyone’s expectations. And in Atmosphere, Reid takes her storytelling somewhere it’s never been before — into orbit.She’s done Hollywood (T...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of Before the Seven Vows: Conversations Every Couple Should Have Before Marriage by Bhupendra Jain

It begins, as most real things do, not with fireworks but with a question. “What if marriage isn’t about finding the right person, but about becoming one?” That thought hit me somewhere between a sip of chai and the first few pages of Bhupendra Jain’s Before the Seven Vows: Conversations Every Couple Should Have Before Marriage. It’s not your typical relationship self-help book that tosses you a c...

Exploring Love and Desire: Sameer Gudhate Reviews The Sensual Self by Shobhaa Dé

It’s funny how a book can make you blush, nod, laugh, and quietly sigh — all within a few pages. That’s what happened to me with Shobhaa Dé’s The Sensual Self: Explorations of Love, Sex & Romance. I didn’t expect to be both entertained and disarmed. I didn’t expect to find bits of my own unspoken emotions mirrored between her razor-sharp sentences. And yet, here I was, reading a book that dares to...

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of The Sex Book: A Joyful Journey of Self-Discovery by Leeza Mangaldas

The first time I picked up The Sex Book: A Joyful Journey of Self-Discovery by Leeza Mangaldas, I felt like I was sneaking chocolate from the fridge at midnight — part thrill, part guilt, part curiosity. Growing up in India, even whispering the word “sex” was enough to earn raised eyebrows, let alone reading a book titled so boldly. But within the first few pages, I realized this wasn’t a scandalo...

“The Price of Being a Woman: Worshipped in Temples, But undervalued in Reality”

A few days ago, I wrote an article about Goddess Kali- about the divine energy women embody, the roles we play, and the constant struggles we face. I spoke of how women should be respected in very form, not just revered as goddesses in temples, but as human beings who deserves kindness, love and dignity.But what happened to me last night shook me to my core and made me question everything I though...

I thought I was signing up for a high school romance. What I got was a heartbreak so raw, I ended up hugging my pillow like it owed me comfort. Laura Nowlin’s If He Had Been With Me doesn’t just tell a story—it takes you by the hand, pulls you into the messy corridors of teenage life, and then leaves you with a silence that echoes long after the final page.At its heart, this is the story of Autumn...
