Sameer Gudhate Reviews Faiz Ahmed’s Sumeru Sabers: A Memoir of Friendship, Faith, and Showing Up

There is something revealing about the way adults protect certain rituals. Not because those rituals are important to the world, but because they quietly become important to who they are.Every Sunday morning across Indian cities, cricket grounds fill with people who have already lost the practical argument. They are no longer chasing selection, contracts, or recognition. Many have demanding career...

Sameer Gudhate Reflects on Saga of The Djinn’s Daughter: Every Family Inherits Something

There was a moment, somewhere around midnight, when I looked up from the page and instinctively glanced toward the dark corner of my room. Nothing was there. Of course nothing was there. Yet Saga of The Djinn’s Daughter — Book 1: The Night of Fire had quietly altered the atmosphere around me in the way only certain stories can. The ceiling fan continued its familiar hum. A distant vehicle passed o...

The World Behind a 10-Minute Delivery: Reflections on Buildit by Albinder Singh Dhindsa | Reviewed b

There is a peculiar modern habit that most of us participate in without thinking about it. We tap a screen, place an order, and begin measuring time in minutes. A packet of biscuits, a bottle of medicine, a charger, even an iPhone appears at the doorstep so quickly that the machinery behind the experience becomes invisible. Convenience has become so ordinary that we rarely ask what it takes to man...

Sameer Gudhate on Unshakable Confidence: When Life Pressed Reset — Lessons from Anand Modi’s Extraor

There is a particular kind of silence that arrives after reading about someone standing at the edge of everything they once were.I experienced that silence while reading Unshakable Confidence: The Anand Modi Story. Not because the book tries to shock the reader, but because it quietly forces you to confront a difficult question: Who are you when the life you built with your own hands suddenly disa...

Sameer Gudhate Reflects on Where the Highway Ends: Some Journeys Repair More Than Cars

There was a moment while reading Where the Highway Ends when I found myself staring at the ceiling instead of the page. Not because the book had become difficult, but because it had quietly opened a door to a memory I had not visited in years. I remembered sitting beside my father on a humid Maharashtra afternoon, listening to him explain something with complete certainty while I pretended not to ...

Sameer Gudhate Reflects on Taking Charge: Living Beyond Diabetes: When Health Demands a New Beginnin

A few pages into Taking Charge: Living Beyond Diabetes, I found myself thinking about a small crack that once appeared on a wall in my office. At first, it seemed insignificant, easy to ignore. Months later, it had spread across the surface, impossible to overlook. Reading Abhishek Gaggneja’s story evoked that same feeling. Not because our circumstances were identical, but because life’s biggest t...

Sameer Gudhate Reflects on Ruby Kapoor’s I Am, I Can, I Will: For the Parts of Us Still Recovering

Some books arrive loudly, demanding attention from the very first page. I Am, I Can, I Will by Ruby Kapoor arrived differently. It felt like walking into a railway station long after midnight and noticing a lone tea vendor still awake under a flickering tube light — tired perhaps, but steady, warm, and quietly present for whoever needed comfort before the next journey.That is the emotional frequen...

The Loneliest Promotion Happens Inside the Mind: Sameer Gudhate on Sweta’s One Year

Some books arrive with noise. Big drama. Big tragedy. Big declarations about life. One Year by Sweta does something riskier. It quietly walks beside you like that exhausted colleague who waits near the office lift at 9:47 p.m., smiling weakly while pretending everything is manageable. And somewhere between those ordinary moments, the book slips under your skin.I started reading it late at night af...

Sameer Gudhate on Arpit Gupta’s Real Estate Growth Formula: The Courage to Change Direction

Somewhere between two pages, I lowered the book onto my lap and looked up. I was sitting on a park bench, watching children chase each other across the grass while a gentle evening breeze rustled through the trees. A few walkers moved along the pathway with quiet determination, each headed somewhere, each following a direction known only to them. And a strange thought crossed my mind: most people ...

Sameer Gudhate Reflects on The Far Acre: The Quiet Work Nobody Applauds

The page had barely settled after a chapter when I looked up from my office desk and noticed the silence. Not the dramatic kind. Just the familiar stillness that arrives when you work alone for long enough. The soft hum of the air conditioner. A half-empty water bottle beside the keyboard. A notebook lying open with a few unfinished thoughts waiting to be revisited. I found myself staring at those...
