Every now and then, a book comes along that doesn’t just tell you a story—it wraps itself around your heart, gently stirs up thoughts, and walks beside you long after the last page.

Dharmajan, a fresh voice from Malayalam literature, pens this stor...
It's been a long time since I felt the atmosphere of an extreme metal gig. This is a small congregation. In a small space. Physical contact is imminent. The bands who play here have not yet had a reason to compromise their art. Or refuse to do so. This is where the faith remains alive. The envelope is pushed. Old fans meet new. And excitement continues. For an art form to live and thrive, fearless...

Some stories don’t need grand settings or explosive twists to leave a lasting mark—they just need truth. White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky is one such quiet, tender tale that gently tugs at your heart and leaves it aching in the most beautiful way. Before Dostoevsky became synonymous with towering works like Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov, he penned this gem of a novella. Written ...
Vishal J Singh has done it again. Created a master piece of music that expands the envelope again. As far as I am concerned Vishal J Singh is one of the greatest musicians to come out of India. I would hazard to put his name next to th Alla Rakhas and Bismillah Khan's. Give it a listen. All the way through. Give yourselves the space and time to take in this piece of art in its entirety - Lyrics,...
Every once in a while, you come across a book that grabs you by the collar and pulls you right into its world. The Four Horsemen by Arjun Shaji did exactly that to me.
