Women-O-Pause

In Women-O-Pause, Lenaa Kumar invites you into a year of profound transformation. In 2024, she received a sudden wave of social media attention just as her life shifted dramatically through marriage, relocation and an unexpected initiation: perimenopause. Rather than viewing it as a decline, she reframed this transition as ‘Womenescence’—a powerful awakening into the next phase of womanhood.

Amid the whirlwind of public visibility and private change, she refused to accept confusion, discomfort and pharmaceutical dependence. Instead, she turned to extensive research, lifestyle changes and natural healing practices rooted in holistic wellness and ancient traditions.

The result is both a memoir and a guide—a practical yet deeply reflective blueprint for women to help them navigate perimenopause and menopause with greater awareness, agency and vitality. Through personal insight and actionable tools, Women-O-Pause challenges conventional narratives while encouraging women to reconnect with the cyclical intelligence of their bodies.

Featuring insights from professional doctors who offer medical insight and clinical perspectives, this book bridges lived experience with modern science. It ultimately reframes menopause not as a problem to be solved but as a powerful rite of passage.

Penguin Select Classics: The Idiot

Prince Myshkin returns to Russia after years in a Swiss sanatorium, carrying with him a heart untouched by cynicism and a soul defined by compassion. In a society driven by vanity, greed, and quiet cruelty, his innocence appears almost absurd—and dangerously out of place.

Myshkin gets caught in an intense love triangle between the passionate Nastasya Filippovna and the innocent Aglaia marked by obsession, pride, and wounded desire. But Myshkin’s unwavering kindness exposes the duality and layered egos of those around him. In a world that mistakes goodness for weakness, can his purity survive without being destroyed?

The Idiot is a tender exploration of innocence in a broken society; whether true goodness is possible in a flawed world and is empathy a gift or a burden. The novel leaves one reflecting on the cost of compassion and the quiet strength of beauty in a hardened world.

Penguin Select Classics: The Trial

“You do not need to accept everything as true, you only have to accept it as necessary.”

Someone must have been telling lies about Josef K., for without having done anything wrong, he was arrested one morning.

Thus begins a haunting descent into a world where logic dissolves and authority remains faceless. Josef K. finds himself accused of a crime that is never explained, trapped within a labyrinthine legal system that offers no clarity, only endless corridors of doubt and humiliation.

As he struggles to defend himself, the question shifts from innocence to identity. What does it mean to be guilty in a world where the rules are unknown? Is the true prison external—or does it lie within the quiet fears and compromises we carry inside?

The Trial is a chilling portrayal of veiled structure of society, it reflects on the alienation and the silent anxiety of existence; especially today. Lingering like a shadow, this novel compels the reader to confront the absurdities of bureaucracy—a reminder of how control over our own lives is an illusion gifted by the modern world.

Penguin Select Classics: Notes From Underground

In the streets of St. Petersburg lives an unnamed narrator, withdrawn from society and locked within the confines of his own restless mind. Bitter, hyper-aware, and painfully honest, he dissects his past humiliations and present contradictions with ruthless intensity.

Through fragmented memories and confrontations, he challenges the rational optimism of his age, arguing that human beings do not always act in their own best interests—and perhaps do not even wish to. In exposing his own vulnerability, he reveals uncomfortable truths about pride, loneliness, and the desperate need to be seen.

Notes from Underground is a raw exploration of the self that speaks directly to the darker corners of the human mind; questioning its own motives and self-deceptions. Intimate and provocative, this work remains startlingly modern—a mirror held up to the complexities we often prefer to ignore.

Penguin Select Classics: You Can

“You yourself determine the height to which you shall climb. Have you the summit in view? All right—then start for it.”

George Matthew Adams believed, as a proven lesson through his own experiences, that the difference between a life fully lived and one just endured came down to something stubbornly simple: the will to try.

First published in the early twentieth century, You Can collects the most influential columns that made Adams one of the most widely read voices in America. He writes with empathy and wisdom of an uplifting friend, discussing matters of courage, habit, enthusiasm, and purpose—the ordinary materials from which, he insists, an extraordinary life is built.

What makes Adams’ writing unique is its tone: relaxed, kind, and free of unrealistic promises. He does not flatter or fluster his readers; he encourages them to believe in themselves first, beyond all judgments.

You Can is classic of American moral writing, now revived to guide us through challenging times.

Maintain: The 3 Simple Shifts that Turn Temporary Weight Loss into Lasting Freedom

Reaching your goal weight isn’t the finish line—it’s where the real journey begins.

New York Times best-selling author Susan Peirce Thompson, brain and cognitive scientist and founder of Bright Line Eating, teaches you the three identity shifts that will finally keep the weight off for good.

Conventional weight-loss programs, GLP-1s, gastric bypass, and fad diets aren’t the magic bullets everyone hoped for. More often than not, people lose some weight, return to old eating patterns, and then promptly regain what they lost. With 85 percent of people discontinuing their GLP-1 medications within two years, one question remains unavoidable: Why is losing weight—and keeping it off—so difficult?

Best-selling author and expert in the psychology of eating, Susan Peirce Thompson has the answer: three science-backed identity shifts that will promote lasting change at the deepest level and rewire your relationship with food, dieting, and yourself:

• You are DEVOTED. No more bargaining or food chatter. Design your Maintenance plan and commit to it fully.
• You are RESOURCED. No more eating your feelings. Identify emotional triggers and build powerful skills to meet life without excess food.
• You are LIBERATED. No more tinkering with the last few pounds. Step into peace, joy, and fulfillment in a body—and life—you trust.

It’s time to let go of the diet mentality and achieve long-term weight stability and freedom around food. Because maintenance isn’t magic—it’s a mindset.

Yeh Dil Maange More

Vikram Batra, Hero for the Nation … A Brother Forever Missed


Yeh Dil Maange More is the story of a hero who never truly left us. When Captain Vikram Batra ascended the icy mountains of Kargil, he carried a nation’s hopes on his shoulders. When he returned wrapped in the Tricolour, he became immortal.

A heartbreaking and deeply inspiring true story of Martyr Captain Vikram Batra, Param Vir Chakra awardee and the face of India’s victory in the 1999 Kargil War, told through the eyes of his identical twin brother, these pages carry the memories no history book ever captured. From the childhood days to the unbearable silence left behind after the war took one of them away.

This is not just a book about battle. It is a story about love, loss, courage, family, and the price of patriotism. It is about a 24-year-old Indian Army officer who smiled in the face of death and whose words, ‘Either I will come back after hoisting the Tricolour, or I will come back wrapped in it’, still send shivers through the heart of a nation.

Raw, intimate, and unforgettable, Yeh Dil Maange More is a tribute to every soldier who never came home, every family that continues to wait, and every Indian who still feels a surge of emotions on hearing the name, Captain Vikram Batra.
