-==''Summer Promises and Other Poems''==
-''Summer Promises and Other Poems'' is Sanil’s first book which was published by Rupa Publications in April 2013. The book was launched by [[Javed Akhtar]] and [[Manish Tewari]] in New Delhi. The book is a collection of 78 poems of various genres, traversing a wide range of subjects, from everyday emotions such as love, fame and failure to the occasional transformative moments. The book is not only an insight into the author’s own life but also puts forward his perspective on the meaning of life and the various experiences it offers. As praised by Muzzafar Ali, this book is ‘a diary of living life in all its simplicity and immediacy. It is about growing to know things in the process of growing up with things.’
-==''The Dark Side of Light''==
-''The Dark Side of Light'' written by Sanil Sachar consists of the combination of poems, short stories, plays, vignettes of romance, murder, comedy, mystery and many more
-== ''Rebound'' ==
-Rebound is the journey of Abhimanyu, a schizophrenic, who breaks free from the clutches of a trapped existence, only to find himself back in the same world.
-Abhimanyu grows up in a circus, around masked faces, painted expressions and a make-believe world. Brought up by his uncle, the owner of a circus, Abhimanyu is fed with lies and surrounded by deception. His uncle lords over Abhimanyu’s life and is happy to even sacrifice the young boy at the altar of his greed and ambition.
-Finally, Abhimanyu musters the courage to leave the only place he can call home, but even after escaping, he feels completely lost in a world he knows nothing about. As he learns to accept his freedom, love strikes in the form of Rose. She gives him the reason to live and dream. However, love comes at a price. Rose is a circus entertainer and loving her means going back to the world he hated—circus. A life with the woman who provides him hope would mean confronting the demons inside Abhimanyu’s head, as well as outside.
