Thinking Of Winter
Thinking of Winter is a heartfelt memoir about a dog who changes a life. Across the snowy streets of Ithaca and the vibrant chaos of Mumbai, Shantanu Naidu and his golden retriever Winter navigate love, loss, and everyday bravery. Aimed at dog lovers, memoir fans, and anyone who has learned from a faithful companion, this tender story unfolds with warmth, empathy, and quiet wonder.

The experience is gentle but immersive, with vivid scenes, patient pacing, and a touch of humor that makes the pages easy to linger over.
In Thinking of Winter, the bond between human and dog becomes a lens on resilience and belonging. You'll meet Winter not merely as a pet, but as a calm compass in a bustling world, guiding Naidu through both ordinary days and unexpected challenges. The writing invites reflection, with accessible ideas about empathy, devotion, and the ways small acts of kindness ripple outward.
