Book Recommendation by KD

Life often feels like a chain of “what ifs.” What if I fail? What if I am not good enough? What if circumstances don’t work out? These questions weigh heavily on our decisions, often pushing us into hesitation and doubt. The book Life Without IF by Sudipto Chowdhury and Joyking Birje takes this familiar word: IF, and turns it into something powerful. Rather than seeing it as a barrier, the authors show how it can become a catalyst for courage, action, and transformation. Unlike the average self-help book, this isn’t about short bursts of inspiration that fade the next day. Motivation may push us temporarily, but it rarely tells us exactly what to do next.

Whispers of the Blue Ghost by Pratikshya Panda is a beautiful and heartwarming collection of poems about memory, loss, and healing.  Things I like about this book are:  The poems are gentle and meaningful, easily touching our heart.

It is still a thought provoking, beautiful book that stays with you, reflecting its words on your life.

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 are frequently subjected to neglect and abuse, this sacred...
