-''Summer Promises and Other Poems'' is Sanil's first book which was published by Rupa Publications in April 2013. The book was launched by Lyricist [[Javed Akhtar]] and Indian politician, [[Manish Tewari]][http://www.thebrunettediaries.com/a-tete-a-tete-with-budding-writer-sanil-sachar-part-1/] 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.’
 ===''2. The Dark Side of Light''===
+''The Dark Side of Light'' is a combination of [[Short story|short stories]] and poems in several genres, like romance, comedy, murder, and mystery.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/brunch/writer-dreams/story-JldhJSid98heRyPQGKOw0H.html|title=Writer dreams|date=16 January 2016|publisher=|access-date=6 August 2016}}</ref>
-''The Dark Side of Light'' written by Sanil Sachar consists of the combination of short stories, poems and plays, vignettes of romance, comedy, murder, mystery and much more. Offering a diverse pick, it seamlessly combines the rhythm of poetry, the allure of storytelling and the realism of theatre to create an enriching and vivid experience. Some pieces transport you to a different world, while others allude to everyday experiences. Set in the year 2034, ‘Members Only’ takes you inside India's first strip club and asks existential questions about a person's identity, through the story of a young man who oscillates between love and lust.
 === ''3. Rebound'' ===
+''Rebound'' follows Abhimanyu, a man with schizophrenia who grows up in a [[circus]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Thakkar |first=Vidhya |date=2017-10-05 |title=Book review: Rebound by Sanil Sachar |url=https://vidhyathakkar.com/book-review-rebound-by-sanil-sachar/ |access-date=2023-10-21 |website=Vidhya Thakkar |language=}}</ref>
-''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.
-A tale of love, loss and longing, Rebound is also a young man's relentless pursuit to uncover delusions and seek a real life.
-How does it end?
-It doesn't.
-=== ''4. And...Perhaps Love'' ===
-A new normal has replaced the established order. Distant relationships, virtual work, blurred futures and measuring our way back to this reality occupy us every day. Negotiating these changes, Sanil Sachar’s ''And . . . Perhaps Love'' will work as your companion. It is a silent observer for when you want to read it, and a patient listener when you wish to communicate with it. Capturing the ideas of love, darkness and the attempt to find balance in life, this is a book for now and forever.
-== Co-Producer ==
-Sanil is also the co-producer of [[wikipedia:Mantra (2016 film)|Mantra]] (released on 17 March 2017), which starred actors like, [[Rajat Kapoor]], [[Kalki Koechlin]] and [[Lushin Dubey]] and was well received by the audience [https://nelive.in/meghalaya/entertainment/dont-miss-shillong-based-director-nicholas-kharkongors-movie-mantra-hit <sup><nowiki>[1]</nowiki></sup>]<sup>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/mantra/movie-review/57669452.cms <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>][http://www.hindustantimes.com/movie-reviews/a-flawed-nostalgia-mantra-review-by-sarit-ray/story-zvnH8olVXZHsQt7GAMsBML.html <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>]</sup>and won the best feature film award at the South Asian Film Festival in New York [https://nelive.in/meghalaya/entertainment/meghalaya-shillongs-nicholas-kharkhongor-creates-waves-new-york <sup><nowiki>[4]</nowiki></sup>].
