Echoes from Mesopotamia: When a Dream, a Land, & History Converge

A personal milestone. A long-cherished dream realised. I’m proud to share my book Echoes from Mesopotamia, recently published and launched at the Kolkata Book Fair (Boi Mela), 2026. Shaped by sixteen years in Iraq—the land often called the Cradle of Civilisation but one that became a second home—the book journeys through the myths and legends of Sumer, Akkad, and Assyria, drawn from research, lived experience, and quiet listening among the echoes of the Tigris and Euphrates. Seeing these echoes find a home between the covers of a book is a dream sixteen years in the making.

15 Years of Indrosphere: A Journey from Darkness to Light

To mark the 15th anniversary of Indrosphere, I pause to reflect on its powerful and deeply personal origins—born in the aftermath of surviving a twin bomb blast in Baghdad. That harrowing day, cloaked in dust and disarray, ignited an enduring need to document, to make sense, and to remember. What began as a solitary act of catharsis has, over time, blossomed into a vibrant mosaic of memories, reflections, and shared experiences—tracing the contours of life, joy, sorrow, culture, food, and heritage. With 680 posts, over 6,000 comments, and hundreds of thousands of readers, Indrosphere stands today not just as a blog, but as a living, breathing archive of a journey—one shaped just as much by its readers as by its authors. This milestone is a heartfelt tribute to you, the readers—acknowledging your presence not merely as observers, but as co-travelers and co-authors in this evolving narrative.

The author celebrated his first wedding anniversary on May 3. The past year of marriage was filled with learnings, challenges, and strengthening of their love.

The anniversary was celebrated with both families, involving a lunch at home and a party at Capitol Residency Hotel in Ranchi, with reminiscence of their wedding rituals. The author expressed deep love for his wife and looked forward to many more years of shared experiences.
