What happens when humans disappear from the earth, and animals take over the world? Well, apparently, they don't just inherit our cities, technology and comforts—they also inherit something far more familiar: corporate culture! Sounds intriguing, right??? That’s what hooked me when I read the book blurb. Angry Junglee Bosses by Cross is a quirky and …
Book Review: Love at First Byte
Love at First Byte by Divya Ramaswamy will definitely take you through a phase of life. As soon as I started reading the book, I was reminded of my own early working days in the corporate world.

The Hour of Happiness
Shreya was already regretting the precious Sunday she had sacrificed to attend her cousin's wedding reception.

Book Discussion: Before the Coffee Gets Cold — A Tender Brew of Time, Regret, and Hope
When I started reading Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s Before the Coffee Gets Cold, the element of magical realism kept me hooked. I wanted to understand its significance—its origin, its purpose, the whys and the hows behind it. But once I finished reading, I did not get direct answers to my curiosity. Instead, it gently revealed what that …
Netflix Find: Old Money- The Unspoken Chemistry that Stayed With Me.
I recently watched a Turkish Drama series, Old Money, on Netflix, and I can’t stop thinking about it. On the surface, the story explores the clash between the generational wealth (old money) and the newly emerged rich (new money). At its heart, though, lies a love story between two people from opposite sides of the …
