Six children One treacherous jungle A gripping story of resilience With a blurb that starts like this, Nidhie Sharma has surely got the readers hooked from the first glance itself. Add to it the fact that it is a true story, one based on a real-life incident faced by the author as a teenager. The strength and determination visible in this story are the ones that leave you with goosebumps long after you have finished the book.

Nidhie Sharma, the author, is an inspiration in real life too. A writer-director based in Mumbai, her debut work ‘Dancing with the demons’, the first boxing fiction drama in India is notable and very well-known. Bringing together her personal experiences of growing up in an Armed Forces environment and travelling across the world, she mixes it liberally with her love for adventure sports in this story. The result is an edge-of-the-seat, nail-biting adventure novel that you cannot put down without knowing what happened next.

Stories have a way of finding you, slipping through cracks, whispered between pages, caught in melodies. Sometimes through the corners of borrowed books, sometimes through whispered summaries from classmates, sometimes just through the magnetic pull of posters and songs I wasn’t supposed to hear.

Book Review: The Ultimate Reality by Gian Kumar (Book 3)

Introduction ISIN: 978-93-52013-74-6 Genre: Non-fiction / Self help Publishers: Celestial Books (Leadstart Corp) Price: Rs. 199/- ( I got the book from the publisher for a review ) In this third book, the author Gian Kumar has ventured into experiential awareness. His earlier books had shown that in spite of material and digital comforts in the world today, we are still living a life of dualities. Happiness-unhappiness, good-bad, God-devil, all exist side by side. Following spiritual teachings of gurus or masters do not give the much needed solace; there still seems to be something missing. The mind, with its constant chatter and habit of delving into past experiences and anxieties about the future, does not allow to live in the present moment and be aware in the 'now'. By the time our mind can register it, there is already a new 'now' which has taken its place. Here, the author has brought us into a deeper existence, where through experiential realiz...
