Some books entertain you, some educate you—but once in a long while, a book arrives that feels like a quiet hand on your shoulder, guiding you back to the roots you had forgotten. Echoes of My Grandfather by @wellbeingcoachprathi is that kind of book. The moment I read the title, something inside me stirred, like an old memory waking up. And as I turned the first pages, I found myself not just reading Prathibha’s story, but reliving my own. Prathibha writes with a rare purity—her words are simple, yet they carry the weight of lived experience. The opening chapter, where she speaks of losing her mother, felt like watching someone open a wound gently, not to evoke sympathy, but to show how healing begins. From that point on, her grandfather’s values—gratitude, discipline, humility, faith—become the threads that stitch her life back together. What’s magical is how each chapter flows like a warm conversation. There are moments that make you pause, moments that make you smile, and moments that pull tears out of you before you realise it. The keepsake activities sprinkled throughout the book feel like gifts—little nudges to look inward, to reflect, to reconnect with what we’ve lost in our fast, distracted lives. Prathibha’s life journey—marked by struggle, determination, and reinvention—is deeply inspiring. As a woman navigating setbacks, responsibilities, and dreams, she becomes an anchor of hope for young girls and parents who yearn to pass down values in an increasingly chaotic world. Reading Echoes of My Grandfather felt like stepping into a modern-day Panchatantra—stories filled with wisdom, yet human in their softness. It reminded me that our roots are not just memories; they are guiding lights. This book doesn’t just echo her grandfather’s voice—it echoes our own.
