Champions are shaped by the habits they build long before the trophy is lifted. And behind many of those habits is a great book.

If RCB's title-winning journey had a bookshelf, it would be filled with stories of grit, growth, leadership, well-being, and the mindset needed to keep believing through every challenge.

Because the shelf of a winner is built long before the winning moment arrives.

Happy Buddha Purnima 🙏🏻😊

[Rupa Publications @Rupa_Books]

More than 2,500 years ago, a prince sat under a Bodhi tree and changed the world. Today, his lessons on compassion, impermanence, and letting go feel more important than ever.

This Buddha Purnima, we invite you to look beyond the celebration and explore the stories. Walk the old paths in Bangladesh, listen to the woman who loved him most, and find the simple truth that happiness was always close by.

The Buddha gave us more than a philosophy. He offered a new way to see the world.

Pick up a book and start your journey today. 🌸🪷

What remains when every certainty you’ve held about yourself begins to fall apart?

The Ashes Are Warm is a deeply personal, unfiltered work drawn from Mahesh Bhatt’s private diary entries, shaped into a cohesive narrative by Sunita Pant Bansal. Eschewing the structure of a conventional memoir, it captures fleeting yet intense moments of emotional upheaval, self-doubt, and vulnerability as Bhatt confronts the depths of his inner life.

It traces not enlightenment but an unflinching undoing, stripped down to loss, identity, and truth.

Out Now!

What we see of a life is often only the surface. But what happens when the layers begin to fall away?

Drawn from deeply personal notes written in moments of turmoil and clarity, The Ashes Are Warm opens a window into the inner world of Mahesh Bhatt, not as a celebrated figure but as a man stripped of certainty, confronting his own truths. Entrusted with these fragments, Sunita Pant Bansal shapes not a story of success, but one of endurance and unflinching honesty.

This is a portrait of a man undone, where identities are questioned, facades fall away, and truths refuse to soften.

Out Now!

People’s lives often seem perfect on the surface, but what really lies beneath it all?

Drawn from scattered personal journals, jotted down in moments of loss, doubt, rage, and vulnerability, this is a raw and unfiltered reflection of Mahesh Bhatt. Not a story of success, but of survival, of confronting the self when the masks fall away and discovering what endures after every illusion has turned to ash.

Because in the end, what remains is not what we built, but who we truly are.

Out Now!
