Ret ‘Sixty is the New Assassin’ by Shesh is a razor-sharp thriller that fuses dark humour with corporate savvy. The result is a wickedly entertaining concoction that reads like ‘The CEO’s Guide to Eliminating Problems…of the Living and the Dead Kind.’
Retired corporate powerhouse Ishmael leads a tranquil life in Singapore with his vivacious wife, Nysa. His days revolve around fitness and family until he overhears rumours of his daughter-in-law Marianna’s affair with a colleague at her law firm. Ishmael is not the type to sit back and watch his son Shahed’s marriage unravel.
Armed with a mind honed by boardroom battles and ruthless negotiations, he begins to gather evidence to resolve the problem with clinical precision. Everything goes according to plan, until it doesn’t.
Will Ishmael be able to save Marianna and Shahed’s relationship, and at what cost? How does it affect his relationship with his better half?
What makes the story shine is its contrast. Ishmael is the quintessential retired CEO, the kind you’d expect to see giving TED Talks, writing leadership memoirs, or mentoring the next generation. But beneath the suave exterior lies a man who is cunning, vindictive, and chillingly resourceful. He is also a devoted husband and father, one who loves fiercely and protects ferociously. This dance between charm and cruelty makes him a remarkably nuanced protagonist. The grey in him makes him unlikeable, yet the reader can’t brush off his magnetism.
The supporting cast is equally engaging. Nysa, in particular, stands out as warm, intelligent, and ever-curious. She cooks, bakes, travels, and brings a steadying balance to Ishmael’s impulsiveness. If only he confided in her more, things might have taken a very different turn. Also, thanks to Nysa, there is no shortage of lip-smacking, mouth-watering dishes along the way.
Told entirely in first-person perspective and mostly Ishmael’s, the novel is fast-paced and steeped in sardonic wit. His musings on corporate strategy and negotiation tactics lend the book a distinctive flavour, like a business memoir laced with noir. The plot twists keep you hooked, right up to a final reveal that is as surprising as it is satisfying, and it leaves the door wide open for a sequel.
As a debut, ‘Sixty is the New Assassin’ is a knockout. It is clever, stylish, and addictive, and puts the ‘sass’ in assassin. ...more

Smita Das Jain’s Leading With Words is a comprehensive leadership communication playbook. Through this book, Smita showcases her multifaceted expertise as an author, TEDx Speaker, executive coach, personal empowerment life coach, and NLP practitioner Smita Das Jain’s Leading With Words is a comprehensive leadership communication playbook. Through this book, Smita showcases her multifaceted expertise as an author, TEDx Speaker, executive coach, personal empowerment life coach, and NLP practitioner who advises Fortune 500 companies worldwide. True to its title, the book delves into the transformative power of communication, especially how it can inspire, influence, and drive results. Leading With Words is an essential guide for leaders, managers, and ambitious professionals eager to harness the art of effective communication.

The author strengthens her narrative with real-life statistics and data drawn from extensively researched sources, which add credibility and context. The book is structured in four parts: an introduction to leadership communication, a deeper exploration of its nuances, practical applications across specific scenarios, and strategies for elevating one’s leadership presence. Smita presents the content in a highly engaging conversation format between Karthik Singh, the CEO of an MNC, Priya, the HR head, and Rajesh, the sales head. Much of the dialogue unfolds through Karthik’s anecdotes and examples, with an intriguing twist in the form of his coach’s appearance toward the end (no spoilers here!).

Throughout, the author equips readers with practical tools, tips, and techniques covering public speaking, impactful presentations, verbal and non-verbal cues, and handling difficult conversations. She highlights the power of storytelling as a vehicle for compelling narratives while also emphasizing the importance of cross-cultural communication in fostering inclusive workplaces. Above all, she reinforces how effective leadership communication can be both persuasive and inspiring, helping leaders nurture and elevate their teams.

One quote that particularly resonated with me was: “Active listening isn’t just about hearing—it’s about being present in the moment and genuinely connecting with the speaker.”

Each chapter concludes with a summary table, serving as a handy refresher of key principles and making the book a ready reckoner for busy professionals. This is not a one-time read; it’s the kind of book that grows with you, functioning as a long-term communication companion. What makes it even more practical is the bonus downloadable workbook included at the end, which allows readers to immediately apply the frameworks. Importantly, the techniques shared are not limited to corporate contexts; they are universally applicable to anyone who wants to communicate with clarity and influence. Grab this book if you aspire to become an impactful communicator! ...more
