📘 TL;DR​

​

Here’s the thing:


We’ve created a simple, printable 2-page PDF packed with valuable references on mental wellness and happiness. It’s like having a pocket-sized guide to feeling better and thinking clearer.

​

This alone is worth the cost of subscribing to the Fulmo Newsletter.


Which, incidentally, costs nothing.


Zero. Nada. Zilch.

​

Bonus: We will not bombard you with spam. We’re too busy writing haikus about 12th-century stone monuments.

​

In that spirit, Fulmo Talks brings together a diverse set of talks from speakers from all walks of life. This series of video talks—produced by DV Studios in association with the Esperanto and ConLang Society of South India—is a celebration of creativity, curiosity, and the quiet power of ideas shared openly.

​

While this webpage is still under construction, we are currently featuring a few early entries in the Fulmo Talk Series. Topics covered in the Fulmo Talk Series range from positive psychology and mental wellness to ethics in law, language innovation, and the intersection of art and technology. In one of our featured Talks, Professor Sonja Lyubomirsky, a global leader in the science of happiness, shares insights on how to build lasting well-being.

We’re still building out this page. Stay tuned for more updates!

📖 Mjolnir Poeto: A Haiku Series

​

At Fulmo Games Hub, we believe creativity can be a wonderful thing.

​

In that spirit, one of our developers has authored a growing series of haiku poetry books under the banner of Mjolnir Poeto—some of which feature a light-hearted play on words or another form of humor in the title but all of which represent a multilingual experiment in art, expression, and impact.
 

It is noteworthy that the 2025 series was written by our developer, Mr. Anand Manikutty, who authored his first Esperanto book while still classified as an A1 learner of the language—and then followed it up with six more books, all while still technically at A1 level. This highlights just how accessible constructed languages like Esperanto can be for learning, and ties into a broader Fulmo initiative: a language-driven technology platform codenamed RALPH. Designed to leverage ConLangs for both organizational impact and global literacy outcomes, RALPH has already been shared with a number of researchers—including, at last count, two Nobel laureates. Soon, we will be conducting a Panel Discussion Series as well.

​

Among the most notable entries in the mjolnir_poeto series is The Jewel in the Crown, New and Improved—available in English, and as La Juvelo en la Krono in Esperanto. Despite its grandiose title, the book is very much in on the joke: the implication that this is the crowning achievement of the series is, of course, tongue-in-cheek. In truth, it’s no better—and no worse—than the others in the series. The ones with humorous titles, as well as the ones without humor in the title, also feature Esperanto or English haikus. They were all written quickly, with equal parts sincerity and lyricality.

​

Other titles include:

​

  • The River of Slightly Better Heaven

  • Hajkoj pri Hindaj Monumentoj kun Teknika Subteno, Nova Kaj Plibonigita

  • La Infanoj de Noktomezo: Poemoj por la Sendormuloj en Seatlo kaj Aliloke

  • Rivero de Versoj

  • Somera Meditado Pri Hindaj Monumentoj

  • Alia Meditado Pri Hindaj Monumentoj

  • La Malkovro de Barato: Malŝaltita, Reŝaltita, Nun Funkcias 

  • Ombroj de Silento

  • Malfacile Klasifikebla Libro kun Trodaŭra Entuziasmo

​

While the poems center around Indian historical monuments, they’re equally a reflection on impermanence, fleeting memories, and the strange intersections of culture and code.

​

Proceeds from these books support RALPH, a literacy-focused technology initiative, as well as other educational ventures that align with Fulmo’s mission to create a more playful, thoughtful, and connected world.

​

In contrast, our more productivity-focused publication—The Ekzercado Method—is a for-profit offering focused on personal development through deep reading and reflection. It has been featured at respected venues including the IEEE Society, the ACM, and the Rotaract Club.

​

No matter the form, all Fulmo Books are rooted in the same spirit: a blend including art, intelligence,  poetry and, potentially, humor. And, always, a quiet ambition to make things just a little better.

The Ekzercado Method

​​​

A note from the author Mr. Anand Manikutty

​

The Ekzercado Method is a practical guide to personal growth and transformation. It offers a clear, step-by-step process designed to help readers unlock their potential—whether in their careers, relationships, or personal well-being - by reading more written content.

​​

While the book can stand on its own, it is part of a broader system. Together with the Ekzercado Program (designed for apartment communities) and MonOrdo software (still under development, but already in heavy use by our users), it offers an integrated approach to meaningful change.

​​

At its heart, The Ekzercado Method seeks to unleash a simple but powerful superpower: the ability to transform your life through better reading, and structured reflection. It is available on Amazon.

​​

This book is not just a guide—it is an invitation to embark on an interactive journey of growth, empowerment, and possibility.

The River of Slightly Better Heaven

​​

A note from the author Mr. Anand Manikutty

​​​​

In mid-2025, I published The River of Slightly Better Heaven—a book of haiku that takes readers on a meandering poetic journey through India’s temples, palaces, rivers, and ruins. The title may sound like a surreal travel brochure, but that’s entirely intentional. These poems aim to offer just that: glimpses of places that feel one metaphor away from paradise—or, at the very least, slightly better than your average Tuesday.

​

As with other titles in the Mjolnir Poeto series, this book blends English prose and Esperanto verse. It was written while I was still an A1 learner of Esperanto, which may explain a few of the grammatical choices—but also highlights the beauty of constructed languages: anyone can learn, write, and create quickly. Even haiku. Even me.

​

The River of Slightly Better Heaven was not written to win literary awards. It was written quickly, with care, and in the spirit of playful experimentation. The real goal? To support RALPH, Fulmo’s homegrown literacy-focused technology platform. RALPH promotes reading, learning, and accessible language tools, and has managed to catch the attention of more than a few academics—including, somewhat to our surprise, two Nobel Prize winners.

​

So if you’re expecting a poetic masterwork which will win both the Pulitzer Prize and the Booker Prize, this may not be it. But if you’re looking for something heartfelt, curious, and slightly offbeat—something that supports a good cause and may even leave you with a smile—then you’re already halfway to that better heaven.

The Jewel in the Crown, New and Improved

​

A note from the author Mr. Anand Manikutty

​​

In 2024, I authored The Jewel In the Crown, New and Improved—a collection of haiku poetry inspired by India’s historical monuments.

​

While the title may suggest a literary gem, the truth is more modest: this book is no better (and no worse) than countless other haiku collections out there. The “New and Improved” bit? That’s mostly because it sounds funnier than “Rushed and Reasonable.”

​

Yes, there’s another book out there with the same name, by William Dalrymple and Anita Anand. But honestly, purchasing their book won’t change your life either. Much of the historical content they present is already available—free—on Wikipedia. Ours, by contrast, supports an actual cause and an actual technology to boot: all proceeds go to RALPH, a literacy-focused technology platform built to make a difference.

​

This collection—and others in the same Mjolnir Poeto series—was created quickly (often in a matter of hours), not for prizes or acclaim, but as part of an effort to raise money for educational initiatives. The books are earnest, poetic, and occasionally experimental. Yet another book was written in 2025 called "La Juvelo en La Krono: Nun Ecx Plie Plibonigita". You can use Google Translate to find out what the title and the subtitle mean in Esperanto.

​

For the record, The Jewel in the Crown has received a rating above 3 out of 5. In the startup world I come from, anything below a 4.5 would be considered failure. But for a book written in under four hours to support a charitable cause, I’ll gladly take the 3 and change.

​

This project blends my love for history, language, and mischief—with a dash of social impact thrown in. If it makes you smile, reflect, or donate to a good cause, then it's already done its job.
