About the Alchemist Behind the Pages

I’m Arpit Kapoor, a late-blooming but passionate reader who discovered the magic of books much later in life. My reading journey began with my very first novel, One Night @ the Call Center — a book that unexpectedly opened a door I never closed again. Since then, reading has become an essential part of my everyday life, and I often share my book reviews to capture what each story means to me.


Between work hours, in quiet mornings, or late at night, I carve out little pockets of time to slip into stories, learn from authors, and gather moments of reflection. Books have become my companions, teachers, and in many ways, the lens through which I understand the world more deeply, offering literary insights that enrich my perspective.


Apart from reading, I am also a devoted music enthusiast. I’ve cleared Trinity’s Initial Grade and Grade 1 in violin, and I am currently learning the Indian bamboo flute (bansuri) in the rich tradition of Indian classical music. Music and books together shape my inner world — one through sound, the other through silence.


Through The Book Alchemist, I hope to share the insights, emotions, and quiet transformations that each book brings into my life. This is my space to reflect, distill, and turn stories into understanding — one page at a time.

Why - The Book Alchemist

Every reader has a story. Mine began unexpectedly.


I wasn’t always a reader. In fact, I picked up my first novel — One Night @ the Call Center — much later than most. But once I entered that world, something inside me shifted. Reading became more than an activity; it became an alchemical process. Every book I read left behind a little gold — a thought, a lesson, a feeling that stayed.


That is how The Book Alchemist was born.


An alchemist transforms the ordinary into something extraordinary. Through this blog, I try to do the same with books. I read, I reflect, and I extract the essence — the literary insights that make a story meaningful. For me, reading is not just flipping pages; it’s the art of understanding life, one paragraph at a time on my reading journey.


My love for music, too, blends into this journey. Like a violin string that sings or a bamboo flute that breathes, books have their own music — subtle, emotional, transformative. And I try to capture that music in every book review I write.


The Book Alchemist is my personal space where stories turn into wisdom, pages turn into perspective, and reading becomes a quiet form of magic.
