Reconnecting with the joy of fiction

I spent the last 2 days in Goa with The Ayodhya Alliance, an enjoyable work of fiction, by one of India’s best-selling authors, Ashwin Sanghi; and it reminded me just how powerful great storytelling can be.

This fast-paced thriller seamlessly blends ancient history with contemporary geopolitics, moving between timelines 7,000 years apart. I found myself switching between the book and the India-England Test match, but the book often won.

Amid the noise of our screen-saturated lives, fiction reminds us that sustained attention and creative thinking remain essential skills - both personally and professionally.

If you’ve been looking to return to the habit of reading, this is a great place to start. 

We need to make time to read…
