What happens when an ancient parable is turned on its head?

When the river is crossed not by renunciation, but by Shakti.

Set in the Himalayan foothills, The Lady Who Carried the Monk Across the River is a taut, philosophical novel where faith meets longing and desire refuses to stay on the margins.

It is a story of choices, passion, and the uneasy truth that transcendence and earthly love may not be opposites after all. As fluid as the river it returns to, the answers shift with every crossing.

In this deeply moving memoir, Saran traces his journey from a complicated childhood to becoming an acclaimed chef, while navigating the courage it takes to tell the truth, especially to the people who raised you.

Tell My Mother I Like Boys is a book about coming out, but also about belonging, the ache of wanting to be understood, and the ways culture and family shape us long before we know who we are. Honest, tender, and beautifully written, Tell My Mother I Like Boys reminds us that sometimes the bravest thing we can do is claim our whole self and invite others to the table.

If you love memoirs that stay with you long after the last page, this one is essential.

A woman lost, found, and lost again.

Born into a world stacked against women, Mannu Bhandari grew into a bold, sensitive, and fiercely honest writer. In this unflinching autobiography, she opens the doors of a shared household and an unequal marriage, revealing how love, silence, ambition, and hurt shaped both her life and her writing.

Candid, painful, and quietly powerful, this is Mannu Bhandari reclaiming her voice, her story, and her rightful place in Hindi literature.

2025 felt full in the best possible way.

A year of retreats and subscriber events, Qissewale and Ceylon Literary and Arts Festival, long conversations, and the quiet joy of watching many books find their way into the world.

Each book felt special. Each one told a story the world deserved to know. Voices we deeply admire, Suvir Saran, Bhawana Somaya, Tejaswini Apte Rahm, Khalid Jawed, Gulzar, Devdutt Pattanaik, Vish Dhamija, Radha Chadha, and many more, bringing their truths, memories, and questions to the page.

And as the oven warms for what’s next, 2026 already looks exciting. More retreats (announcements soon), and a strong list of Non-fiction, fiction and poetry waiting in the wings.

A moment to look back, a little time to prepare, and plenty to look forward to. As always, it’s about the books.

A year of stories finding their way into the world.

From first drafts to finished covers, from quiet ideas to loud conversations, this year was about books that travelled across languages, genres, cities, histories and imaginations. Memoirs and myths, fiction and nonfiction, poetry and politics, voices old and new, all finding space on our shelves and in your hands.

Grateful for the writers who trusted us, the readers who showed up, and the many lives these books now live beyond us. Here’s a look at this year, in print -- and what a joyful, book-filled year it’s been.

Onwards, with more stories waiting to be told. 📚💛

In a world where corporations hold the cards, Negotiate It Right teaches you how to play your hand better.
