1 The Social Life of Indian Trains (Aleph)

If you are obsessed with the idea of the Indian Railways and cannot seem to have enough rides, Amitava Kumar’s tribute to iconic rail journeys, interesting histories and the magic of train travel, will satiate the senses and keep you on track, literally.


2 Blistering Barnacles (Farshore)



If you are a fan of Captain Haddock, pick up this A-Z of rants and rambles crafted by Albert Algoud. It is a witty, illustrated salute to the bumbling captain’s utterances, each uniquely more insulting than the previous one. Enjoy the gobbledegook.

3 How To Forget (HarperCollins)

Meera Ganapathi has combined the ideas of taking walks and writing poetry in refreshing fashion with this curation of 55 walks including insightful, sensitively written observations about Mumbai. Appreciate the poetry sans the weight of overwhelming language.
