Introduction to Topic We all know about the Bhagavad Gita, but there is more than one Gita. The Gita is a conversation with questions and answers, like the Upanishads, but it's in song form rather than normal conversation. The Ashtavakra Gita is also one of those that came in Ramayana time, way before the famous Bhagavad Gita of Mahabharata time. This conversation was between Raja Janak (the father of Sita) and Ashtavakra (a wise boy with eight abnormal curves in his body). The seeking of truth and permanence after realizing that the nature of life is temporary in every sense starts the journey of every student of spirituality. The question "Who am I?" is considered the biggest and most important one in a seeker's life. Raja Janak also had this realization, and thus began his journey. Story Summary  Janak's dreams were not letting him focus on his regular work, making him wonder if they were just normal thoughts or a warning sign of upcoming big troubl...

Caged Tiger The title of the book, "Caged Tiger," suggests the author's desire for ultimate freedom. The country is facing a situation where power is becoming concentrated in the hands of a few, with no counterbalance available to check their decisions.  The system does not guarantee that power will be used only for its specified purpose, and this problem has persisted since 1947. Whether it's the economy, free speech, culture or anything else, there is always a tussle between organizations wanting control and people wanting freedom. There is no balance available in this system. The author discusses numerous examples of the different troubles we are going through and potential threats that we can face in the future with this weak system in our country right now. There is a need to educate and inspire people to get into discussions around this issue and possible solutions along with the roles and responsibilities citizens should have...

As the title suggests, these are the stories of women with money and power doing whatever they have to without any fear for their desire for intense love and attention. Forbidden emptiness, story of Priya was the one which made me think about how we used to get ticket by our emotions and mind easily. Relationships are really delicate and tricky to handle especially when one is under the control of mind and emotions. But we need to realise what we want in life clearly so that we don't make wrong choices in life and then cry regretting them. After reading these kind of stories one can reflect in his/her own selves to know their mistakes. These characters you may or may not see around society, but to seek out their life stories is another adventure at Togather. As once said by Chanakya, you should never underestimate the bravery of women. They can go beyond your thoughts in achieving what they desire. These stories are practical examples of the same. The way the author dep...

Indian history is full of amazing stories with undiscovered secrets. Our Kingdom and their Kings, Queens, Warriors, and their War & Courtroom drama are unmatchable. The thrills, twists, threats of lives and livelihood of all the people in a single story. Gangadas and Kalyani are amazing couple. I enjoyed their conversations a lot in the book. Avinash and Shubham ware also completing them in story. The fast pace, small size and lucid narration of story can allow anyone to complete the book within a day. The cover if you observe will tell you a lot about the story. The puzzle/riddle in the story is really fun to solve. It's really difficult to tell much about the story without any spoilers so, I am not talking about it much. But you must know that you shouldn't miss this book is you are also historical fictional thriller lover like me. This will be definately in your favourite reads list. As I can't talk about the story much let me tell you guys about the narr...

Even after reading listening and reading lot of Puranik stories I have never heard about Dhantasur. So, I didn't know the story at all. But as soon as I picked it up I was totally blown away by it. No unnecessary talk and still not fast paced. The narration is perfectly balanced giving proper justice to the story. Author has done proper research on the whole mythology aspects which you can see in details explained and the smoothness with which he delivers the knowledge, shows his efforts and ability as writer. We always think in binary. Consider the Asura bad as few of them did something what we don't like. The Dharma doesn't differentiate like that. Everything is equal in its eyes. So what if someone doesn't follow Dhama who we assume as good? Is there any way for them to escape from it? That's where the real story starts. The compact yet good enough size of book and chapters, proper fonts, high quality paper, beautiful cover and cute bookma...

Silence has Secrets by Nayan Malek is a gripping and intriguing novel that explores the sensitive issue of sexual violence and its aftermath.

Looking at the cute cover no one can imagine what a deadly combination this book possesses - of business, entrepreneurship and innovation from the Indian perspective.  The introduction in itself was encouraging enough for me except when I read about the Aryan invasion theory which is already proven as a false narrative. However it added to my curiosity! The book revolves around the guidance for first time entrepreneurs and also gives useful tips and informtive steps which every entrepreneur should follow. They are very practical and action oriented. The solutions are in Indian context only which makes this book all the more exciting for Indian readers! The first hand experience in entrepreneurship by the author and his understanding of entrepreneurship and overall business in both USA and India gave him the ability to stimulate different scenarios and provide advice accordingly.  Like for example the Indian midset about bringing the family members in business, rais...

Ajai Chowdhry is the Co-Founder of HCL (Hindustan Computers Ltd), MAIT (Manufacturers Association of Information Technology) and ICA (Indian Cellular Association) He also helped in creating the Electronic System Design and Manufacturing (EDSM) industry in India and the National Policy on Electronics, 2019. The list is long, and I could go on, but I would rather recommend you to read the book instead of this list. The story is much more fascinating and enchanting.   As one of the founders of HCL, established in India and then further developed in Singapore and the world, he became a pioneer in the hardware industry in our country, bringing the PC revolution, and then the collaborations with Nokia led the movement of broad phone adaptation, bringing the mobile phone revolution.   But as you read in the list above, this is not a story of business or entrepreneurship alone. This is the story of a man with versatile talent and interests. Through his journey, one can see...
