Why should I Worry when I can Face the World? by Shibu Nair is a fine short read on optimism, self-awareness, and positivity. By nature it’s a self-help book but in another way it works as to augment your self-image. Yes, it makes you feel good about yourself. If you are dragged by pessimism, rejections trampled you, and life is not what you love – well then this book will give you some stance, wisdom, and probably a second chance to establish yourself. Stretched up to eleven chapters, the book is not a banal read on what to do, what to expect and what to shed…it rather takes you to the deeper aspects of life that matter in pursuit of happiness and overall well-being. Another exquisite value in the book is its gullible comprehension. Be it any topic, the author doesn’t forget to introduce you to his cast of characters that teach you about being worry free in life. He included experiences from his own life and the characters that he built while doling out vital lessons like gratitude,

Wagging Tongues by Yogie Chandra Tatvaraj is a riveting collection of short stories, adaptations, and his personal philosophical reflection on many aspects of life. The book offers around 50 pieces of writing which are easy-to-read and comprehend. Seemingly the book is segmented in three parts. First is the author’s life journey through Ranjan D’ Cruz, who once was a famous Rock singer with his band called Rakshas. Secondly, adaptations from philosophers and folktales that the author must have acquired in his lifetime. Thirdly, his personal thoughts and opinions about life that shaped him, or he keenly observed while experiencing life. As you traverse through a gamut of aspects, you will notice that the book is poignant in bringing out the funny yet positive learning from life. Nearly all short stories/pieces involved Ranjan as a lead observer or character. In the first story, we see that owing to Christian roots Ranjan D’ Cruz greatly appreciated England, he was fond of it. The stor

The Legend of Bahirji-Naik by Shreyas Bhave is an engrossing historical fiction built around the Maratha Swarajya. There have been many books in Marathi eulogizing Shivaji, when we talk about the Maratha history. So, this novel is a detour from the mainstream genre. Thus, we do not see here Shivaji as a protagonist. However, his influence runs underneath way enough to even cast other less-famous characters. Talking about the storyline, it’s a well-laid and well-thought out novel. The focus of the novel is the crumbling Maratha Swarajya in 1664 and how to revive it financially and morally. Raje Shivaji is stationed at Rajgad. The Mughals have tight grip over the regions around, with Pune as their base. Surat is a city that can change the fate of any struggling ruler.

The Land of Ataraxia Genesis by SS Merce is a super fabulous fantasy thriller full of action, adventure, with amazing people and places. The novel is set in some fictional Elswyth Sea, in fact, the entire book is highly imaginative and fictional. The novel follows a story of ship named Caelesti Viatrix and its crew. Right since the beginning, you will get to know the rich battle history of the ship and its heady hip-hop culture. The author took all efforts to create an ambience in the ship. As famous as folklore, their ship is legendary. Its wooden floor was unmarked by rotting blood or sword marks from a battle unlike ships that usually sailed the Elswyth Sea. It could have been better if the author has given a character list or map of places right at the beginning, yet you can manage them if read carefully.
