SPICES is a contemplative mosaic of essays, reflections, opinions, and creative non-fiction that captures the many flavours of contemporary life—sharp, subtle, stirring, and soulful.

Moving effortlessly across history, culture, politics, spirituality, society, and the quiet corridors of the human mind, Kunal Roy invites readers into a world where observation meets introspection. From forgotten palaces and shadow gods to democracy, digital life, solitude, kindness, and existential questions, each piece stands as an independent voice yet contributes to a larger conversation about humanity and meaning.

This is not a book that dictates conclusions. It asks questions, provokes thought, and allows space for reflection. Some essays challenge authority, some celebrate heritage, others pause to observe the ordinary moments that define our inner lives. Together, they form a literary journey that is both personal and universal.

Written with sensitivity and intellectual clarity, SPICES is for readers who believe that words still have the power to heal, question, and awaken. A book to be read slowly, revisited often, and felt deeply.
