I really liked the concept of this book which is “to offer an integrated holistic approach” of wellness to teenagers. It covers all the three aspects of body mind and spirit. Each tip or ideas is covered in just a paragraph or two so it is not heavy reading for a generation that communicates through […]

Book Review : Just Me, The Sink And The Pot by Sudesna Ghosh.
I must admit the title intrigued me, as did the buzz I had heard about the book. And the book did not fail to deliver what it promised. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. Would I classify it as fiction or non- fiction? It links both worlds and I felt […]

Book Review: Her Secret Husband by Sundari Venkatraman
