Parvati
We are all too familiar with Sati's story, and Parvati's irreplaceable place in our culture hardly requires any introduction. So why did I write Parvati? Although the reason is explored in the foreword in depth, I chose to write this book to unravel both the known and hidden dimensions of Parvati's story, of her life. The story opens with Parvati’s birth. Who first revealed that she was Sati reborn? What went through her mother’s mind when Shiva sought Parvati's hand in marriage? And what battle did Parvati herself fight, and why? Unfolding beyond these questions, the novel brings to life a little-known Puranic tale of Ganesha’s birth, the legend of Kartikeya, the fierce awakening of Kali, and above all, the timeless dialogues between Shiva and Parvati.

Radha - Part 2
Radha's first volume was about the dialogue between Radha and Shravani, and this exchange drew heartfelt praise and responses from a lot of readers. Yet the story didn't end there. Through their conversations, Radha talked about nine dimensions of love. While Shravani did contemplate them, could she truly live by this philosophy in her life? This question not only kept the readers intrigued, but I too couldn't just conclude the story with a simple “and they lived happily ever after" - for life is never linear, but is marked by turns of joy and sorrow, obstacles, inevitabilities and moments of helplessness. Though Krishna and Radha loved each other beyond measure, they also had to endure separation. If even a divine figure like Radha was not spared the touch of sorrow, how could a young, ordinary woman like Shravani remain forever free from worry and pain? This second and concluding part of Shravani's journey is about the trials and triumphs, the rises and falls, and the beauty of those struggles.

This is the tale of two women, bound together by questions and revelations, discovering the many-hued meaning of love through a conversation that is at once personal and universal.

Ace Of Blades
A Razor-Sharp Saga of a Family Business Empire, Obsession, and the Price of Greatness. Rajinder Kumar Malhotra—the mastermind behind India's iconic razor blade brands, Topaz in the '70s and Supermax from the '80s to 2023—was driven by one relentless obsession: the cutting edge of perfection. Born into a powerful Punjabi family, RK's journey was defined by contradictions—whiplash volatility, merciless edge, and a family pulled in different directions by ambition and greed. What began with humble Panama blades expanded into an empire that Gillette tried—unsuccessfully—to acquire for over a decade. Yet RK's obsession with the perfect edge ultimately shaped everything he touched. But as his empire rose, so did the personal and professional sacrifices that would test him at every turn. Ace of Blades is a raw, real account of RK's life and leadership, narrated by his daughter, Reenita, and validated by interviews with family, colleagues, and associates. This is not just the story of one man, but a coming-of-age story on three levels: RK's transformation, the rise of India's FMCG industries through the lens of the blade industry, and the cultural revolution of every Indian man who shaved with his brands.

Sree Narayana Guru The The Sage Who Reimagined Hinduism
The Sage Who Reimagined Hinduism is an inspirational account of one of the most important spiritual leaders and social reformers of modern India, Sree Narayana Guru. In terms of his contribution to the betterment of Indian society and Hinduism, he ranks with Swami Vivekananda, B. R. Ambedkar, and Mahatma Gandhi. However, he is not as well-known as he deserves to be, and this book is, among other things, an attempt to remedy that neglect. Born in 1855 into a modest, middle-class family in Travancore (now Kerala) the Guru belonged to the Ezhava caste, which was considered untouchable at the time. The story of how a boy from a socially disadvantaged caste rose to become a charismatic sage with millions of followers is a remarkable one. Yet, the Guru was not just an inspiring spiritual leader. He was also a social reformer who was determined to reshape the oppressive caste system that held millions in its grip. He fought to make the society he was part of more equal, establishing and consecrating temples that were open to all castes, founding schools and other educational institutions, and doing everything he could to empower the lower castes and break the malign influence of the upper castes. Today, if Kerala is one of the most progressive states in the country, plural, secular, and egalitarian, much of this can be traced back to the Guru’s transformative efforts. As the author writes: ‘[Sree Narayana Guru] stands unmatched…as the greatest reformer to emerge from southern India since the incomparable Adi Shankara a millennium earlier, and the most successful champion of the rights of oppressed Hindus in the twentieth century.’
