Book Title: Into the Leopard’s Den  Author: Harini Nagendra.      I am a fan of classic or classic timeline-based stories.  Also, the work of the author Harini is not new to me — I’m already a big fan of her Bangalore Detectives Club series. So, when I found this new book from her mystery series, how could I miss it? Hence, I had to get my hands on it. The book has the same classic, vibrant cover style of cover image just like all her series. I absolutely loved the bright magenta color this time. The story is set in a place known for its coffee, so let’s dive into this deadly brewing mystery without any further delay. Set in the year 1922, our OG detective Kaveri Murthy has taken a short hiatus from being a detective due to her pregnancy. But she can’t stay away for long because an elderly lady named Kupamma is found dead with something in her hand hinting at Kaveri for help. Kaveri, who is on a break and also a little far from her husband, takes help from th...

Title: Echoes of Love, Footsteps to Glory: A Gentle Call to Purpose in a Distracted World In an era where noise often drowns out nuance, Echoes of Love, Footsteps to Glory by Ratish Ravindran offers a refreshing, deeply moving narrative that doesn’t shout to be heard, but instead resonates. It is the story of Rohan, a 15-year-old boy whose quiet journey toward greatness is shaped not by accolades or ambition, but by humility, presence, and timeless values. From the opening pages itself, Ravindran positions Rohan as a stark contrast to the hyper-connected, yet often emotionally distant generation he belongs to. While his peers are caught in a constant scroll of distractions, Rohan listens — genuinely and with intention. He listens to his parents, to his grandparents, and more importantly, to the silence between their words. That silence becomes his sanctuary, a space where seeds of wisdom take root. The story gains momentum not through dramatic twists, but through soulful shifts. A mode...

Book Title:  DOGISTHAAN: Kingdom Of the Dogs by Shayon Moitra In Dogisthaan: Kingdom of the Dogs, debut author Shayon Moitra has crafted a riveting tale that transcends the boundaries of myth, morality, and modernity. Set in a world where ancient pacts and sacred responsibilities are forgotten amid the chaos of urban decay and human apathy, Dogisthaan is both an epic fantasy and a sobering, almost humbling, reflection on the cruelty often meted out to voiceless creatures. Through richly imagined and coherently constructed lore and characters that resonate on a deep emotional level. Shayon has explored a unique concept of what happens when humanity breaks a promise it barely remembers making. At the heart of the story is a powerful legend – the ancient pact between Kram, the Dog Lord, and humankind. This pact, centuries ago, guaranteed harmony with humans entrusted to care for and respect canine life. But in the industrialized present, where stray dogs are seen as nuisances and...
