Rooted in the Sundara Kanda of the Ramayana, the book does far more than merely re-describe myth: the book's evocative recounting of Hanuman's audacious voyage across the ocean to Lanka, one of the most striking scenes in the Ramayana. Singh captivates readers of all ages with his new voice, vivid imagery, and intense feeling of commitment, bringing this classic story to life. The result is a book that feels spiritual, personal, and deeply human.
In addition to recounting events, each chapter poses questions about their significance. Singh challenges the reader to think deeply as he closes each chapter, inviting them to consider love, bravery, responsibility, and humility in addition to reading.

Singh writes in a way that is accessible without losing dignity. Complicated mythological events become vivid but not overwrought; the prose flows, so even readers unfamiliar with every nuance of the Ramayana can follow and be moved. While solemn, the writing doesn’t shy away from exploring the tensions—Hanuman’s doubts, the weight of duty, Ravana’s pride, the cost of service. It doesn’t sugarcoat. That adds richness: myth isn’t just parable, but a mirror. Singh's writing doesn't feel heavy, but it is rather a balance of devotion and critique. With crisp and short chapters and fluid language, the book turned out honest and raw.

Hanuman ji has had a great impact on my religious journey. His energy has calmed me down on days I never believed I could cross the hurdle. Reading 'Hanuman Flies to Ravana’s Lanka' is like discovering Ramayana, not just as a story but as a completely new tangent. Not only could I understand the emotions behind their action, but it also presents us the Ramayana in Hanuman ji's point of view, wherein he is the central character.
Through his book, Kushagra beautifully merges our daily inner battles (faith, courage, negativity, doubts, humility, inner strength) comparing each of these feelings with a situation that revolves & around the episode of Searching for Sita Maa. The additional Key Takeaways are a pure gem. Hence, blending storytelling and introspection with a spiritual depth.

I believe Hanuman Flies to Ravana’s Lanka is more than just a mythological retelling. It’s a guide to living with humility, love, and purpose. I would recommend it especially to readers who like mythology & spiritual reflection, or who are seeking books that don’t just entertain, but nourish. ...more

Nelofar Currimbhoy's Tara: The Dream Chaser follows the life of Tara, born into Rajput royalty, yet made to feel starved of affection and stifled by expectations. Tara grew up with a dominating mother and a neglected father, which influenced her need Nelofar Currimbhoy's Tara: The Dream Chaser follows the life of Tara, born into Rajput royalty, yet made to feel starved of affection and stifled by expectations. Tara grew up with a dominating mother and a neglected father, which influenced her need for independence and love. When Tara can no longer stand the restrictions of a loveless marriage, she flees to Mumbai, in the hopes of starting over. There she meets Kabir, a photographer who breaks through her barriers and inspires her to love and heal. However, Bollywood's magnetic golden boy, Vivan Mehta, entices her into passion and temptation just as she begins to believe in a brighter future. Tara is forced to choose between duty and desire, independence and commitment, as she is confronted by the shadows of her past - her husband's presence, her mother's intentions.

Tara is portrayed by Currimbhoy in a way that is neither idealistic nor entirely appealing, but rather extremely believable. She allows Tara to be vulnerable, weak, regretful, and prone to mistakes. The writing is vivid; the emotional quotient is well-balanced, the narrative delicately strikes a balance between grit and glamour, and the inevitable contrast between the messy real world and the royal history adds complexity. Setting a story in Mumbai makes more room for both opportunity and harsh living, owing to Tara's self-growth and discovery. it serves as a reminder that freedom doesn’t come without cost. The romantic tensions with Kabir and Vivan are handled in a way that feels more than just love triangles — they reflect different paths of healing and self-discovery.

I feel some of the supporting characters should have been fleshed out more; Also, although the emotional journey is excellent, the speed fluctuates—some chapters convey significant contemplation and impede the momentum, which may stress readers who prefer a more plot-driven story. I wished for more surprises in how Tara’s choices unfold — perhaps riskier or less expected consequences.

Overall, Tara: The Dream Chaser is a compelling story of a woman's quest for her identity, voice, and independence. It achieves its goals with authenticity and emotional realism. This book will be of interest to readers who enjoy character-driven stories with flawed heroines, moral uncertainty, and emotional development. ...more

History tends to favour men's voices in storytelling, as if their ver Books and history alike show how much of an integral contribution was made towards Indian Independence by the men, rarely questioning the contribution of women to the independence. History tends to favour men's voices in storytelling, as if their versions of events could make a difference.

'A Shimla Affair' by Srishti Chaudhary challenges the notion of those booming voices that history has led us to believe in. This book is about women who dared to step into the men's world to realise their version of 'freedom'. They dared to seek what was theirs through unapologetic means. Noor, Afreen & Nalini dared to live and love without restraints and restrictions whatsoever. Their story is a testament to the fact that siblings and family can only strengthen your spirits in times of testing. 'A Shimla Affair' isn't just about the British Empire, crumbling down in defeat. Still, it is also about each character here, finding a new dawn of life and personality in this process. Or else, how would a young girl elope to marry someone she met at marches that she was a part of? Or how would borders and differences not exist when a girl fell in love with a British man? Or else how could women bring a police station into a mess just based on their wrath and determination, the will to make a change for the women in their community that often got under-shadowed in textbooks?

Srishti presents a picturesque view of Shimla from the 1940s. The city is surrounded by hills and chill air, and underneath is hidden tension. The city goes through times of uncertainty- the future of both the country, its cities and people is questionable. In 'A Shimla Affair', you would find each character bringing out a rebellion in themselves that hangs till the last page of a chapter, with a mix of vulnerability and longing and crisis in life.
i wouldn't deny the fact that Srishti's writing is addictive. It's a mix of feeling torn yet relatable, and still, she makes us feel warm, and her imagination is believable. with every book, Srishti introduces us to female protagonists who are headstrong, independent, adventurous and vocal, much unlike the period she writes in. Despite the challenging times, in between war and bloodshed, Srishti brings out a cult, cinema-worthy romance between Nalini, our protagonist and Charles, a British man. Their worlds collide in the Royal Shimla Hotel, and their chemistry is dreamy and emotional. Their love story might have ups and downs, maybe much more than our dating life, but this pair, Charles and Nalini, has a sort of love that feels like a fresh breath of air in between the 1940 chaos.

Saying 'A Shimla Affair' is beautiful, hopeful, and imaginative would be an understatement. Each chapter lures you into hope and excitement- a mysterious tension forms that many books these days fail to deliver. The storytelling is crisp, and it emotionally connects readers. it trespasses on the journey that feels personal. It oscillates between the present and the past life of Nalini. She often refers to the memory of her father, and how they had everything but lost so much too. She recollects the events surrounding the possession of Royal Shimla Hotel- the sisters' forever home, and the traits of each sister that only the freedom fight could unleash. To the people reading, im sure, the Mistry sisters would have impacted you in more ways than you would initially predict. Charles Nayler always maintained dignity in love. His dedication and charm showed- a true lover would never see tortured and hurt.

By the end of the book, I felt restless. I was in a pool of satisfaction and horror. how many lives had changed forever? How many children in the future wouldn't have to question ' what's freedom?'- all these only because many men and unsung women cooperated to achieve their dream together, which is now a story of bravery to tell. ...more
