Here's a 3 hr podcast on my journey as a writer, translator and publisher! Technology will always remain my forte, but my 18 yrs of literary journey surprised many, including me. It was nice to rewind how it all panned out!

So happy to announce my debut novel… after publishing over 50 non-fiction books, this novel feels special. Expected out by October this year from @WestlandBooks

Volga’sOn the Banks of the Pampa, translated with sensitivity and clarity from the original Telugu by Purnima Tammireddy, is a deceptively slender novel that invites us into a fierce, meditative, and deeply political conversation.

Different mediums, same grandeur!
The epic #Ramayana continues to captivate across generations—whether on the big screen or within the pages of powerful retellings that bring fresh perspectives to a timeless story.

As the big screen gears up to bring this story to life, here are some stellar books that revisit the Ramayana in ways both classic and compelling.

"The fight against feudalism and women’s oppression went hand in hand. The emphasis on women’s issues was much more prominent in the past than it is today."

If 2025 had a reading pattern, it looked like this: finish, recommend, think about it, read again. Some stories simply refused to fade once the last page was turned. They stayed in conversations, resurfaced in memory, and found their way back into readers' hands.

Here is our wrap of the fiction readers could not quite move on from! Discover the full list on @harperbroadcast: https://t.co/Wp7RinmCBC
