In this episode of KPV, I talk about my experience at the Chennai Book Fair 2026, the books I picked up, the genres I gravitated towards, and a few unexpected finds along the way. From crowded book stalls to quiet reading corners, this episode is all about what made this year’s book fair memorable for me.

✨ Special mention: I also share my experience from a separate and special author meet & greet session with Sathosi Yagisawa. This intimate conversation didn’t happen at CBF ’26, but it added a meaningful layer to my reading journey this year.

A short, honest episode about books, authors, and why book fairs still feel special. Press play if you love books beyond just buying them 🎙️📖

Starting the year with a short Episode!

In this episode, I talk about the books I finished, the ones I paused halfway through, in 2025. This isn’t a review or a recommendation list, just a reflection on how reading showed up in my year. I also share a few thoughts on my reading mindset in the future and give a small update on what’s coming up on the podcast through the rest of 2025.

A calm, no-pressure way to begin the year. 📚✨

Welcome to the Last Episode of 2025❤️

Happy New Year 2026✨ This Episode isn’t a travel guide.
It’s a story about a journey that unfolded in ways we didn’t plan and expect. In this episode, I talk about Moments that surprised us. How travel reveals parts of myself I don’t see at home, and Different people who taught what love and caring are all about!

A story about movement, memories, and the subtle ways journeys change us sometimes without even realizing it.

Everywhere we look, opinions surround us in newsfeeds, group chats, social media and even casual conversations. In this episode of Kadhai Pesum Vazhkai, I share some personal thoughts on living in this constant flood of voices and opinions which mislead us, changing the narrative. Are we forming our own views, or just echoing the loudest ones around us? Through small reflections, I talk about how the noise of opinions shapes the way we think, feel, and connect and why, sometimes, silence speaks louder than words and why Introspection is important in this world of opinions.

Some books you read, and some books read you back.

Welcome to a new episode of "Did I Finish the Book or It Finished Me? "📚✨ This time, I sat down with Muhammed Abbas’ debut book, Pasi Kadhal Pithu, beautifully translated into Tamil by K.V. Shylaja and published by Vamsi Publishers. The book takes you through a journey of hunger, love, pain, and the madness of everyday life that feels raw and unforgettable.

In this episode, I share my reading experience, the parts that hooked me, the ones that left me heavy and particularly the lines I loved in each story and those moments where it felt like the book was finishing me instead of the other way around.

If you’ve ever picked up a book that shook you to the core, you’ll definitely relate to this one. Tune in and let’s see who won — me or the book. 🎙️
