Why the Delhi World Book Fair is the One Event That Every Book Lover Must Attend: Three Books That Will Stay with you Forever

-


I am a storyteller who writes with heart, soul, imagination, and purpose. Through my three books, I invite readers into worlds where emotion and experience intertwine. Whether I’m exploring the complexities of human relationships, creating vivid landscapes, or offering wisdom that lingers long after the final page, my intention is always to connect deeply with those who read my work.

My writing style is simple, engaging, and relatable because I want every reader to feel seen and understood. I aim to craft stories that speak directly to the soul. Each one of my books offers something unique — characters you can recognise, themes you can carry with you, and a voice that remains warm, authentic, and honest.

Touching Void… Surviving a Car Accident

If you’ve ever wondered how one moment can shatter everything you know — and how a person begins to rebuild from the ruins — Touching Void… Surviving a Car Accident takes you directly into that journey with me. This is not just a survival story; it is the story that made me stop, breathe, and question my own strength.

In its pages, I open up my deepest vulnerabilities and explore the emotional transformation that came with facing fear, pain, and the unknown. I reflect on the universal fears and hopes that shape us all, and I ask myself: How do I rebuild my life after it breaks?

As you read, I hope you see your own resilience in a new and powerful way.

New York Wakes to Culture

In New York Wakes to Culture, I take you with me into a New York that most people never get to see — alive with hidden cultures, behind-the-scenes stories, and the heartbeat of a city that is constantly reinventing itself.

As I walk through its streets, taste its food, and listen to its voices, I want you to feel like you are right there beside me. This book is my love letter to travellers, dreamers, and anyone fascinated by the richness of culture.

I share the sides of New York that tourists rarely encounter, revealing layers of the city that shaped my understanding of people, diversity, and connection. I hope that as you turn the pages, you begin to see the city’s culture in a completely new way.

Inside Mumbai: Stories from the Heart of a Vibrant City

In Inside Mumbai, I bring you into the Mumbai that I know — the one that lives beyond its postcards and headlines. I share intimate, unforgettable stories that reveal a city that is messy, magical, human, and absolutely alive.

With each narrative, I try to capture Mumbai’s authenticity and the emotional heartbeat of the people who call it home. I wanted to share the truth behind the glowing skyline — the hopes, dreams, challenges, and realities of everyday lives.

As you read this book, my hope is that you feel a connection to people you’ve never met, yet somehow understand.

    Having read all three books, my takeaway is that they are honest, heartfelt stories that inspire you to believe in yourself and in life’s innate ability to lift you out of the direst situations. They show how one can rise like a phoenix from the ashes — and that is Karina for you. I feel extremely proud to know her up close and incredibly fortunate to know such a true winner.

South Mumbai Residents Threaten Legal Action Over Proposed VVIP Jetty Near Gateway of India

Time is running out. At least, this is what the protestors who gathered at a public meeting at Real Party Hall at Colaba Arthur Bunder Road at 4 PM on Saturday, April 5 th , 2025, believe. The skyline of Colaba was built over time – stone by stone and voice by voice.   It is this very same skyline which is at threat owing to the danger of the construction of the newly proposed passenger jetty being constructed near Radio Club which will affect the flow of traffic, especially near the Radio Club stretch and the iconic view of the Gateway of India.   To voice their opposition, residents have launched an online petition against the project garnering over 3,000 signatures. A special WhatsApp group has also been formed to organise peaceful protests, which has already been joined by over 2,000 members.   The petition, known as ‘Save Colaba: Stop the Jetty Project’ proposes that the jetty project is a mammoth 2-acre structure that will be constructed in a space that has no room ...

Habitat – My First Performance Venue

In 2016, although I had written extensively, I had never actually performed open-mic poetry. Writing had always been my primary form of expression, with speaking coming second. So, when I decided to take the stage for my first performance at The Habitat in Khar, I was nervous, especially doing it alone. I wanted to build my confidence, and this seemed like the only way to do it. Coincidentally, 2016 was also the year The Habitat was founded. It became the place where I made my debut as an artist. The Habitat quickly became a safe space where I forged friendships with fellow poets and artists. I still remember the moment that turned my life around—stepping onto that dimly lit stage, microphone in hand. It felt like opening a door I had been too afraid to touch before.  Some of the people I shared space with over there are Zoheb Khan, Bikram Bumrah, Kunal Jhawar, Navaldeep Singh, Jackie Thakkar, Simar Singh, Aranya Johar, Rakesh Tiwari, Ramneek Singh, Hussain Haidry, Kartikey Sehgal,...

4 Mindfully Spent Days At Woods At Sasan for a Writing Retreat with Bhavna Kher

Writing has been my passion for over 18 years so when I heard about the Writing Retreat that screenwriter, brand consultant and former creative director of Ogilvy - Bhavna Kher was going to conduct I was immediately interested in attending the same.     Not only this but I also wanted to connect with other writers and also sharpen my writing skills as well. It was a perfect opportunity to find inspiration within a focused environment.  Moreover, the 4-day writing retreat, (September 14- September 18th) which was conducted at a luxury boutique resort provided the perfect break from city life, and mindfully focused on sharpening one’s writing skills.  Having our independent quarters, we were surrounded by thickets of trees, within a lush mango orchard on the fringes of the Sasan Gir forest. It was the perfect place to calmly create a story without any disturbances. Moreover, in between the writing exercises, we went for a safari, and eco-trail, and were given besp...
