I am an educator, author and traveller. My writings have appeared in The Speaking Tree (Times of India), Woman’s Era, Alive, Infinithoughts, SivanaSpirit, Women’s Web, EfictionIndia and Induswomanwriting.

#Review: Calm in the Storm by Brother Phap Huu and Jo Confino

Calm in the StormAuthor: Brother Phap Huu and Jo ConfinoPublisher: Aleph Book CompanyRating: 4.5/5 The cover of Calm in the Storm is the first quiet exhale. The soft blue circle, the bamboo brushstrokes, the minimal typography—it promises stillness without screaming for attention. It doesn’t market peace; it embodies it. And thankfully, the content largely stays true to that promise. Structured in Read more of this blog post »

From the very first pages, The Jasmine Murders establishes its mood with quiet menace. Set in Manamadurai—a town that looks sleepy on the surface but simmers with old resentments—the novel leans heavily into atmosphere.
