I have been an avid fan of author Amar B. Singh's books for some time now. His unique style of storytelling through verses is truly captivating. His books are deeply philosophical and encourage us to contemplate the reality of life and dive deeper into our consciousness. If you are someone who often ponders questions like, "Who am I?" or "What is the universe about?" then I highly recommend giving his books a try. Once you read one, you will likely be compelled to pick up more because his thoughts are profound and resonate deeply with our hearts, revealing significant truths. After reading four of his previous works and falling in love with them, I recently picked up his latest book, Vishwa. This book provided me with an entirely different experience as it introduced me to the four states of consciousness: Vishwa, Taijasa, Pragya, and Turiya. "The Life of Vishwa" deals with the states of human consciousness and what lies beyond,...

I highly recommend "Over Time, Space and Emotion" by Richa Sharma to anyone who enjoys thought-provoking, emotionally charged stories. Each of the 15 stories alongside narratives is beautifully crafted, exploring themes that are universal and relevant to all of us.
