In today’s generation of Indian English authors, few names stand out. However, one book that recently caught my attention is ONE by Mansoor Khan. It’s an intriguing read, and here’s my review along with a download link (with the author’s permission off course) or an option to buy a hardcover edition.

I wish I could express better, but this is my interpretation of ONE. It is an introspective and heartfelt novel that captivates with its deep exploration of love, fate, and personal growth. Set in a contemporary world, the story follows the journey of a young man who is navigating the complexities of relationships, self-identity, and life’s inherent challenges.
What stands out about this book is author’s ability to weave together romance with philosophical reflection. The protagonist’s emotional turmoil and inner struggles feel authentic and relatable, as he questions his path in life, the choices he’s made, and the people he’s connected with. As a reader, it’s impossible not to empathize with the character’s vulnerabilities and the highs and lows of his journey.
The writing is simple yet powerful, allowing for easy engagement without losing depth. The themes of love and destiny are handled thoughtfully, without the story feeling overly sentimental or preachy. The novel reminds us that life is a balance of love, decisions, and unexpected twists, and that self-discovery often comes from embracing the messiness of it all.
This is a novel for anyone who has ever questioned their own path in life, searched for meaning in relationships, or simply wanted to read a story that’s both heartwarming and reflective. If you’re looking for a compelling, emotional journey that tackles real-life questions about love and personal growth, ONE is certainly worth the read.
The Third Curve: The End of Growth as We Know It
One more interesting book from the same author is interestingly titled
The Third Curve: The End of Growth as We Know It
Currently I am reading this and from what I have observed so far, this is for us to think our economic model in light of energy and environmental realities. Khan’s central argument is that growth is not an inherent right, but a temporary phenomenon fueled by abundant resources—resources that are now depleting. Instead of resisting the inevitable decline of industrial expansion, he encourages embracing a post-growth future that aligns with the limits of our planet. As I read more, I will extend this review.
This is such a relevant and urgent subject that it needs to reach to everyone who cares about our planet. I have got permission from Mr. Mansoor Khan to share the book with all the readers.
