Do you feel torn between who you are and who the world is asking you to be? Do you feel guilty for wanting peace, anxious about setting boundaries, and responsible for everyone’s happiness but your own?
In this quietly extraordinary book, Vex King, #1 best-selling author of Good Vibes, Good Life, offers a gentle, empowering guide back to what you already know but may have learned to ignore. Through lived experience and grounded wisdom, Vex offers a clear, practical path out of people-pleasing and back to your center – not by rejecting love, ambition, or responsibility, but by learning how to meet life without abandoning yourself.
This book isn’t about caring less or becoming someone new. It’s about releasing what you were never meant to carry, and remembering who you were before approval became the measure of your worth. At its core, it’s an invitation to return to wholeness and choose from self-trust, rather than from old wounds, conditioning, or fear.
You’ll learn how to:
• Pursue success and happiness without sacrificing your peace or sense of self
• Navigate difficult relationship dynamics with family and friends
• Set boundaries without shutting people out
• Process guilt and anger without becoming overwhelmed
• Protect your spirit without closing your heart
• Rebuild trust in your inner voice
This is a book you can pick up, read and use to begin living differently from today. No fluff. Just a guide to help you come home to yourself, live from your center, and find the peace and freedom that have always been yours.
‘What I’m offering here is my voice. My perspective. My lived experience. My heart laid bare. In the hope that it sparks something real and lasting within you.’

Winner of the Muse India Translation Prize (2018), Priya Sarukkai Chabria and Ravi Shankar’s elegant new translations of eighth-century Tamil poet and founding saint Andal, cements her status as the South Indian corollary to Mirabai. In this one volume is her entire corpus, composed before she apocryphally merged with the idol of her chosen god as a young teenager, leaving behind the still popular song of congregational worship, the Thiruppavai, a collection of thirty pasuram (stanzas) sung for Lord Tirumal (Vishnu) and the much less frequently translated and rapturously erotic Nacchiyar Thirumoli.
Every successful company begins not with a plan, but with a fire.
The real challenge isn’t starting; it’s keeping that fire alive while everything around you tries to put it out. Competitors. Doubt. Scale. Sometimes even your own success.
Made in Fire is the story of how the team behind one of India’s leading travel platforms did exactly that, building not just a company, but an ecosystem of technology ventures along the way.
Part origin story, part builder’s playbook, the book captures the lessons that only emerge in the trenches of real entrepreneurship: how culture becomes a company’s invisible engine, how teams of believers outperform lone heroes and how founders must constantly reinvent their companies before the world forces them to.
This isn’t theory dressed up as experience. It’s what building actually looks like, the bets, the near misses, the decisions that change everything.
For founders, builders and future entrepreneurs, Made in Fire is a candid look at how enduring companies are truly forged.

in small, blooming pieces.
May these pages remind you that you lived through what tried to end you.
When the spirited and sassy ghost of Kadambari Devi—Rabindranath Tagore’s enigmatic sister-in-law—leaps across time, she finds herself guiding two iconic women from Tagore’s fiction: Charu and Bimala. Both brilliant, restless, and caught between love, intellect, and duty, they struggle to find their place in a world that is changing faster than they are allowed to.
As the three women debate, challenge, and inspire one another, they discover a surprising truth: the world may have moved from the 19th century to the 21st, but the inner battles women fight—for independence, desire, and meaning—remain strikingly familiar.
Adapted from Isheeta Ganguly’s internationally acclaimed dram-com musical Three Women: A Musical Theatre, this graphic novel offers a bold, visually immersive reimagining of Tagore’s heroines. Blending literature, history, and modern reflection, it celebrates the enduring power of Tagore’s women, and their quest to balance purpose with passion.
