Let’s be honest — sex is everywhere, and yet we barely talk about it openly. In most Indian households, it’s that uncomfortable word we skip over, the “chapter to be ignored” in biology class, or the awkward silence between parents and kids. But here’s the twist: our evolution, our society, our behaviour — all of it is deeply shaped by sex.So when I picked up The Shortest History of Sex by David B...
Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you entered it? Or called someone by the wrong name and then laughed it off as a silly mistake? Turns out, according to Sigmund Freud, those little “oops” moments may not be so random after all. In The Psychopathology of Everyday Life, Freud invites us to look beneath the surface of these seemingly minor slip-ups — and what he uncovers is both uns...
Have you ever sat down with a book that felt more like a conversation with someone who’s lived, loved, learned — and is now gently passing on those stories to you? That’s exactly what reading Momsie Popsie Diary 2.0 felt like. It’s not just a book; it’s a warm, wise diary of life’s gentle nudges, hard truths, and quiet celebrations.Juju’s Pearls — the seasoned writer behind this gem — isn’t new to...
There’s something magical about walking into a bookshop, isn’t there? The soft hush of pages, the scent of ink and imagination, the sense that you’re about to stumble into a world where anything is possible. Now imagine a book that captures that very feeling — and not just captures it, but wraps it in layers of mystery, heartache, healing, and hope. That’s exactly what The Lost Bookshop by Evie Wo...
Have you ever looked into the mirror — not to fix your hair or check your outfit — but really looked? Not just to see, but to understand? Paparao Chintalapudi’s The Ignored Mirror is that rare book which asks you to do just that — not with vanity, but with vulnerability.Now, let’s talk about the man behind this thoughtful work. Paparao isn’t your typical leadership guru with flashy jargon or slide...
Listen to the audio version here.My thoughts are lonely, dark and deep. They take on forms, they seep and creep.They stare at me, they hiss and sneer,Their fangs fed by doomscrolls and fear.I can't stand them, they won't spare me.A door swells up, nowhere to flee.They’ve stormed the gates, they've barged in now.I want it to stop, but I don't know how.They grin as they close, the air turns vile.Nox...
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...
