Sanatana Dharma for the Modern World  by Jayaram Rajaram
"Jayaram's "Sanatana Dharma for the Modern World" provides a well-crafted analysis of an enduring tradition with contemporary significance. The author adeptly simplifies complex philosophical concepts, rendering them approachable for all readers. While reading, I experienced a profound connection to the teachings. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in delving into the foundations of spiritual wisdom. Hindus who have, for some reason, lost their connection with the ancient culture, traditions, methods of worshipping, and various other things essential to the Dharma must read this book to understand, learn and possibly adopt those back into their lives. I recommend this book to everyone. "

LEGACY OF THE LOST WORDS by Ashwini Pratham
"As a woman, it is natural for me to side with the women in the story. Legacy of the Lost Words moved me deeply for many reasons. Mother's, women's and lovers' sacrifices were the most heartbreaking and also heartwarming! Savitri’s sacrifices for her family and Aanya’s quest to understand her grandmother’s choices reflect the complexities of motherhood. The story's emphasis on the importance of empathy and understanding across generations—resonates profoundly. It’s a reminder that every mother carries untold stories, and every daughter has the power to honour them. A beautifully written tribute to the silent strength of mothers everywhere."

The story is interesting. It began as something usual but gradually turned into a psychologically and ethically charged fiction detailing the backstages of fashion carnival that we often witness on the screen and glossy pages of page-3 magazines. In all this, Bodhi’s character serves as a moral compass in the novel. His ethical stance and practical advice help Mihika navigate the complexities of the fashion world. Bodhi’s role highlights the importance of integrity and collaboration, making him a vital part of the story. His ability to remain calm under pressure and offer insightful suggestions makes him an invaluable team member. Bodhi’s character is a reminder that success is often a collective effort, and his subtle contributions are crucial to the team’s achievements. His presence adds a moral, ethical and responsible fashion angle to the story. I liked the idea and its embodiment. ]]>

Bride's Guide to Shopping in India by Sukriti YJ
"First of all, it is a quick-read work of fiction. So, if you want to read a contemporary novel with some sensible commentary, it should be your pick!
The novel beautifully captures the tension between tradition and modernity in Indian bridal fashion. Mihika’s designs reflect this duality, as she seeks to honour traditional craftsmanship while embracing contemporary trends. The detailed descriptions of fabrics and techniques are a treat for fashion enthusiasts, though the narrative’s pacing can feel uneven—a rich, layered exploration of cultural identity and innovation."
