She is quick to hug someone she gets good vibes from, quick to always compliment a kind-hearted person, with nothing expected in return. When passionate, she engages in a task or topic with intense dedication. Once trust is built, she deeply values and protects relationships. She is not swayed by groupthink or social conformity and is often guided by her personal values!How many “normals” behave l...
We all congregate to remember someone. The collective mourning resulting in catharsis is a fact as old as human existence on earth. Some are remembered in respectful silence. Some drink to forget their sorrows. Some share stories. I rather prefer, the celebratory method. The loud, obnoxious, sweaty maelstrom kind. Something like this. May joy and art erupt at your passing, for it will leave your ...
Been diving into the state of deeptech in India lately, and it’s becoming clear:We’ve overglorified how we reached Mars for less than the cost of a Hollywood movie. And in doing so, we’ve sent the wrong message to builders:Do more with less. Forever.That’s not how deeptech works. It lacks the signal that it’s okay to fail in the pursuit of frontier innovation. Most deeptech is uncertain, long-draw...
Do you remember that feeling of being the new kid in school? Multiply that with switching countries, add a town where people disappear every two weeks, and boom — you’re living Sanjay’s life.

I was wrong.Written by Abhishek Jain, this debut novel feels less like a story and more like a silent companion — a mentor in paperback. While Jain may be...
A few months ago, I stood at Mumbai airport, watching planes take off, wondering what kind of stories the pilots flying them held close. Once in Cape Town gave me one. Sanchit Grover, a pilot turned author, brings us his second book after Luck, Fluke or Destiny? — but this time, he doesn’t just tell a story; he straps you into a cockpit of emotions, lets you fall in love mid-air, and crash into so...
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. Dr. Fung, a Canadian nephrologist, shifts the conversatio...
Ever felt like your thoughts are all over the place — one moment you’re planning dinner, and the next, you’re reliving a childhood embarrassment or stressing about next week’s meeting? That mental chaos? I’ve been there too. The Pyramid Mind by Dr. Vlad Beliavsky felt like someone handed me a map to navigate that internal mess. This isn’t your usual self-help book filled with sugary affirmations o...
