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...

There’s a quiet power in watching two lives unfold in parallel — ambitious, demanding, and yet beautifully intertwined. Growing Together Without Growing Apart: An Inspiring Journey of Service, Sacrifice, and Shared Dreams by Lieutenant Generals Rajeev and Dr. Madhuri Kanitkar is that story, told with honesty, warmth, and a rare intimacy. Co-authored by the couple themselves, the memoir goes beyond...
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...
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...
There are books you stumble upon, and then there are books that feel like they find you at exactly the right moment. Whispered Melodies by Preethi Venugopala belongs to that second category. I picked it up on a quiet evening, planning to read a few chapters before bed. Let’s just say sleep was abandoned without regret. Preethi, who’s already penned over a dozen novels and carved a space for hersel...
There are books that entertain you, and then there are books that quietly walk into your heart and stay there. The Circle of Life by Sudha Murty is one such book. Reading it felt like sitting down with an old friend over a cup of chai and talking about life — the dreams we once had, the people we met along the way, and how everything somehow comes full circle.Sudha Murty, as we know her, is no str...
The second half of the year has begun. The specialty is there would be many long weekends because of the festivities. It’s the time of the year when I wallow of not having the “family friends” which our parents were blessed with in their generation. Maybe they were just the neighbours or colleagues who became family, but there were picnics held, day trips done to temples etc. Now, in the big metro...
Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling like you “won” — but also kind of lost? That’s exactly where Jermaine Pusey’s Communication Is Not a Competition begins: in those quiet, often painful moments when being technically right left us emotionally wrong. In a world where debates seem louder than ever and social media rewards the wittiest clapback, this book is a breath of fresh air.J...
