The next entry in The Holistic Pine's Top Ten Books of the Month is Ashreeta Mohanty’s periodical, Journey High. This enthralling publication illuminates the eminent Indian writer, blogger, and engineer, Ashreeta Mohanty, weaving a tapestry that not only heralds her extraordinary accomplishments but also invites readers into the nuanced realms of her existence, forging a deep, resonant connection. The magazine artfully interlaces visuals of Ashreeta alongside her spouse, threading them into the captivating narrative it presents.

What truly distinguishes Journey High is its employment of first-person narration—a refreshing deviation from the conventional third-person narrative found in similar works. This approach injects a personal vibrancy, enveloping readers in Ashreeta’s world with an immediacy that feels both compelling and genuine. For instance, when Ashreeta recounts her relocation to Bangalore in 2013 in pursuit of career prospects, her struggles and transformative experiences are rendered with vivid intensity. The audience becomes deeply enmeshed in her journey, experiencing every emotional cadence and triumph as though it were their own.

Though she stepped away from writing after her marriage, her husband’s steadfast encouragement reignited this passion.
