Agniputr-When Agni first spoke by Vadhan



This is
Vadhan's second book I believe but the first that I have read. The story has a mystic and rustic touch to it. It has been some time since this book has been on my to-read list. Just when the book arrived in the mail, I was already starting with Ye Honey Bunch my new novel. Now that Ye Honey Bunch is almost done, I got the book out again and was certainly hooked to this one. It's an enjoyable read, especially if you like Dan Browns or  Ashwin Sanghi kind of books. It is not exactly a sci-fi or mythological fiction, but quite close to fantasy fiction. The cover design by Graficus is simply amazing.

The story goes something like this. (I am trying to be as vague as possible to avoid spoilers). There is a dark energy hidden in a village. A tantrik knows plenty about this and ties up with a power hungry politician to take advantage of the fact.

Opposing them is Raghuram Surya a  lawyer under whose property this evil is lurking. He joins forces with a paranormal researcher, Sheila.  They use ancient science to solve the mystery but have to be quicker than Kiromal, the corrupt politician.

Financial Minimalism: How to create abundance by needing less

Through emotional budgeting, spiritual wealth practices, and minimalist finances, learn how simplicity is power—not poverty. Unlock sovereign wealth from within and reframe money as a tool for inner peace and outer purpose. Introduction: Why silent strugglers deserve a new kind of wealth I once sat across from a man who looked exhausted—not just physically, but spiritually. He wasn’t poor in the traditional sense. There was a Rolex on his wrist, designer shoes on his feet. But in his eyes? Hollow space. A quiet, silent struggle most people miss. Society focuses too much on the loud winners: the flashy entrepreneurs, the influencers, the news-worthy success stories. But what about the invisible strugglers—the underdogs quietly wrestling financial, emotional, or spiritual breakdowns? People for whom abundance feels like a far-o...

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...
