You know those books you pick up thinking, “Oh great, another diet book telling me to eat less and move more”? I thought this would be one of those. I’ve read more health books than I care to admit — some promising magic pills, others swearing by celery juice at 5 a.m. But The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung? This one genuinely surprised me.

Have you ever stopped mid-scroll on your phone and wondered: what happens after we hand everything over to machines? That quiet unease? That creeping fear?

Dick Award and now shortli...

Do you remember the first time a woman’s story made you sit up, smile, and silently whisper, “I want to be like her”? Maybe it was Indira Gandhi on the news, or Mary Kom on the podium, or your mother silently winning life’s daily battles. RISING: 30 Women Who Changed India by Kiran Manral is a celebration of those kinds of stories — the kind that don’t just inspire, but shift something inside you....
What does it mean to be a mother? Is it biology, emotion, sacrifice—or a bit of all of them? Anagha Paranjape-Purohit’s Two and a Half Story isn’t just a novel—it’s an emotional excavation of motherhood, abandonment, and the ache of finding one’s place in a world that offers more questions than answers.This is Anagha’s debut, and let me tell you—it doesn’t read like one. There’s a maturity and qui...

You get a book that feels less like a business lecture and more like a late-night chai chat with your ambitious friend who’s already cracked the code.
