In the midst of all the chaos – feeling lost, confused, dazed, overwhelmed, frustrated; have arisen many a ‘aha’ moments of insightful contemplation.

It is my hope that some, if not all, of these insights might help to act as ‘lamp-posts’, on your individual journey, to find your flow as parents or would-be parents!”

As the pace of life continues to accelerate, most parents struggle to keep up with the ever-increasing demands of new-age parenting. Whether it’s juggling work, school, financial commitments, or extracurricular activities, the pressure to meet everyone’s needs can be overwhelming.

“The Parenting Flow” is designed to help parents find a sense of balance and flow in their parenting journey, making the process less stressful and more enjoyable. The book provides practical, actionable guidelines to navigate through the perplexing maze of parenting.

The book is divided into 6 distinct sections which cover critical aspects of holistic parenting.

The underlying philosophy : The psychological mindset
The environmental setup : People and love
Your one and only incredible child : Celebrate the uniqueness
Holistic upbringing : 360 degrees development
Holy grail of education : Learning and un-learning
Hidden gems of wisdom : Borrowed insights over the years

The book provides practical advice, along with inspiring examples, to help parents find the support and guidance they need to be effective, confident parents.

The lessons are designed to be applicable to all parents, regardless of their child’s age range. The author recognizes that the challenges of parenting can change as children grow and develop, but the core principles of effective parenting remain the same.

Whether you have toddlers, young kids or teenagers, the book’s practical advice and actionable strategies will help you raise happy children. The author’s inclusive approach makes the book a valuable resource for all parents, regardless of their individual circumstances.

“The Parenting Flow” is a comprehensive guide that combines the latest insights on parenting in changing times with the timeless core values that every parent needs to be successful.

At the same time, the book emphasizes the importance of core values such as love, communication, and consistency, which have remained relevant and essential to effective parenting throughout the ages.

“Parenting is one of the most rewarding experiences a person can have, but it can also be one of the most challenging. This is not a one-size-fits-all, how-to manual for parenting. The book is not prescriptive, but rather a sharing of insights and a proposed paradigm for parenting that emphasizes mutual respect between parent and child.” says, Sanket Dharod

Karina Pandya’s book New York Wakes to Culture explores racism like never before!

January 30, 2023

The newly launched book by Karina Pandya, ‘New York Wakes to Culture’ draws acclaim for its realistic portrayal of the Indian American experience in Racism and Culture in a Journalist’s life

Karina Pandya, Mumbai-based author and poet announced a new book release, New York Wakes to Culture, a heart-wrenching story of racism in America and journalism during the times of pandemic. The book has been released globally and is available on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Flipkart.com, Amazon Kindle, Google Play, Kobo, and iBooks on [08/12/2022]. This book is the second book that she has released after her first book, Touching Void…Surviving a Car Accident that was released on 2nd August 2021. It was released on the 29th of January in a private book launch.

New York Wakes to Culture is a compelling tale focused on racism, journalism and crime. Filmmaker Amole Gupte claims that it is a fine novel with a truly inclusive point of view of American society through the clear eyes of a young, American Indian girl traversing current culture, crime and cats in New York. The book is available across online and offline bookstores in Mumbai such as Chetna Book store, Kala Ghoda.

This book is significant because racism is one of the major hurdles in American life and Indians face this discrimination while living abroad. However, few books or films highlight this aspect and dwell mostly on the financial and career gains of migration.

Karina Pandya’s novel is an eye-opening and honest read about the situation in New York where the author expertly crafts an emotional and painful dialogue between racism in New York and the culture of the city. It brings to life concrete real-life examples of the 2020 election and analysis and insight into Joe Biden’s approach and Donald Trump’s re-election, Donald Trump’s pandemic blindness and election denial, how there was a political coup regarding the COVID, the vice-presidential elections- Kamala Harris and Mike Pence, how criminal cases were on the rise despite the rise in Corona cases, how the pandemic was majorly affecting sports events and the lockdown was affecting international and national events, how the COVID had urged us all to turn to social media to connect with the outer world and about the culture of New York.

The book is filled with sharp, memorable dialogue which advances the plot and also demonstrates the character’s personalities and adds texture to the story. It is ‘ a tale of a girl who is destined to solve a mystery that lurks within her family, to write about a city as a journalist. Jumping from one universe to another and back again, New York Wakes to Culture is a tale of mystery, crime and the current American culture that will make you believe that journalism can never be silenced. It must speak and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horrors are still in the air.

A book which highlights the period of Covid 19 and interesting stories of the US election of Joe Biden’s approach to becoming president and Donald Trump’s election denial and many other interesting stories provide an instant connection that draws any reader towards this novel.

The protagonist, Maira Kapoor finds herself entangled between drafting a report as an intern for The New York Times and simultaneously solving a mystery lurking in her past. The story is told from the first-person point of view of the journalist, Maira Kapoor and also includes perspectives from other journalists who were not only exasperated by COVID but also the assignments that they had been allotted to cover. Hope and optimism are prevalent but it does not ignore the harsh reality of the tragic outcomes.

The book has also received critical reviews from renowned personalities like film director- Amole Gupte, renowned poet and author- Menka Shivdasani and Jeroo Mulla, the Former head of the Department of SCM.

This book is a definite pick-up for travellers to New York or people who are just interested in knowing what the scenario in New York was like during the pandemic. It is a very engaging read and a good reference book to help you get the feel of what the city is like. You will automatically feel like you have been a long-distance traveller.

Before writing the two books, Karina Pandya was known for her work as the founder of Limits Make Things Too Small. It remains yet one of the few independently organised events that were effectively able to present open-mic poetry into a mainstream literary event.

“Human Beings Are A Product of Their Own Psychology about Life” – Author Aniket Vats On His New Novel Psychological Love

June 1, 2022

Author Aniket Vats is one of those young authors in India who dare to think differently and succeed in their attempt in sharing fresh thoughts and ideas with their readers. Aniket has studied human psychology intimately both academically and as an observer. His recently released e-book traces the journey of an individual who adheres to certain notions and how his belief system leads him to where he reaches in life.

Talking about the novel, the young author says, “Human beings are a product of their own psychology about life. I have tried to explore this concept through this book. Psychological Love’, which happens to be the title of the novel, gives you a clear glimpse of what you should expect from it. It explores several things that a young individual faces in his life at different points. The book explores the relationship between the protagonist and different people in his life like his teachers and friends who play an important role in shaping his life.

Apart from drawing experiences from his own life, the kind of situations he saw people around him dealing with also helped Ankit in his writing process. While many books have revolved around love and its different aspects, there are very few authors who have been able to link it to one’s psychology. Interestingly, this book explores the love of a person for his psychology and how deeply it impacts him.

“The book also touches upon the complexities of a father-son relationship which is seldom talked about. I have explored the issue of peer pressure and the kind of psychological effect it has on students. I have also written about the ‘hermit point of view’ which is essentially about how you can have a broader view of the world around you. Most people don’t realize this but our individual psychology is responsible for how we navigate through life”, he says.

Aniket considers himself to be a ‘life learner’. He believes one lifetime is not enough to learn and process all that the world has to offer. According to him, every day one must make it a point to observe life closely and understand what it is trying to teach us. Every day, he says, can teach us an important lesson if we are observant enough. His philosophies and ideas on life reflect in the books authored by him.

Elaborating on what inspires him as an author, he says, “To have original ideas and offer something new to the readers, you must keep your eyes and mind open. I am a keen observer of human behaviour and try to understand how an individual’s thoughts influence their actions or the decisions taken by them. When people read my books, they can relate too many of the situations depicted in them. My books are steeped in realism and I make an attempt to delve deep into ideas that have not been explored or discussed earlier.”

‘Psychological Love’, authored by Aniket Vats, is available in e-book format on Amazon. The novel is available for free and can be read on a Kindle device and other e-book readers as well.
