Book Reviews

"Bringing the Cheetah Back to India", authored by India’s High Commissioner to Namibia, Prashant Agrawal and published by Hachette India, offers an insider story of the diplomatic and ecological effort behind the reintroduction of cheetahs to India after several decades of local extinction.

Rather than presenting success as a dramatic journey, "Be a Zero" promotes a calmer and more sustainable approach to life.

Overall, "Backlash" is a compelling exploration of the scars left by both personal and societal violence, inviting readers to reflect on the tensions between power and powerlessness.

"A Thousand Perfect Lies" by Monica Murphy is a contemporary young adult thriller centred on Billie Vale, also known as Belinda Winters, who is drawn into uncovering the truth behind a murder at Wickham Academy in England, where she goes undercover.

"A Quest for the Perfect Rice" by Zubin D'Souza is not a typical cookbook. Instead, it is a storytelling journey that explores rice and rice-based dishes like biryani, khichadi, pulao, and tehari as part of culture and history.
