Not everyone in the world has everything they need. Rishabh Jaisingh is successful and has every materialistic thing in the world but the only thing he lacks is emotions, happiness and love. His past has made me shut down all the possible way to find love but they say love has it's own mysterious ways to find you. His life takes a complete opposite turn when a girl named Radhika enters at the most unexpected time. She makes him see through his walls and helps him find his long lost joy but accepting love is not as easy as experiencing it. With a past like him and all the events unfolding will Rishabh accept Radhika wholeheartedly? Will all the adventure be worth the fight? Or will giving up seem the best option? This is my first attempt in writing a story which means I'm not a pro but I've an imagination and I love writing as much as love reading. There can be some minor plot errors but nothing major. The story isn't edited yet but I'll try and edit it soon. In totality the story is sweet and enjoyable. Please vote if you like it. Don't be a silent reader.

SEQUEL TO DID YOU GET YOUR PERIOD? Shouldn't you be brimming with confidence after graduation? Armed with a degree in History, her high school love story still strong, camera roll filled with boomerangs and an insatiable appetite for Schezwan Maggie- why is this spunky desi girl feeling more lost than ever? *** The façade of "college life" that Karan Johar movies have promised you shatters within the first week of university. An extravagant Bollywood marketing gimmick. After three tumultuous years at college, it's time to face the real world. But what if you're not ready?

A sarcastic boy in a wheelchair, blue-haired yoga teachers, an absentee boyfriend and periods that happen four times a year- seem like a lot for a twenty-one year old to deal with. Throw into the mix a mother who won't stop hinting about UPSC examinations, a sister dropping bombshells and some very strange Gmail notifications. This nuclear Indian family has a lot to deal with! Shweta is learning how to answer some difficult questions this time. Who was the eighth Prime Minister of India? Will moon bathing help her menstrual cycle? And quite importantly, is love just a marketing gimmick too?

Sophia is a young, aspiring actress with big dreams who swears having to work with Christian Ryder wouldn't be worth all the fame in the world. Christian is a cocky womanizer whose world is turned upside down when he realizes his new leading lady just so happens to openly hate his guts. Is it even possible for Christian and Sophia to learn to get along long enough to make a movie, or will hatred, scandal and childish games destroy their careers? *** My eyes widened and I randomly exclaimed, "Oh, my God!" "What?" "Christian, thanks to you, I now understand what people mean when they say you're dark and handsome!" Christian looked smug. "I knew you would eventually." "They mean that when it's dark, you're handsome!" The smug look on his face disappeared. "I hate you." *** Contains some spoilers to Kidnap My Heart.

In a small Indiana town, a teenage girl hasn't been seen for months, and her brother Reed is sketchy on the details. But seventeen-year-old Mayuri Krishnan doesn't know any of this-not yet. For her, Reed is the boy of her daydreams, the name she scribbles in her notebook, and the starring role of her online cliche mafia romance. When he stumbles upon her secrets, she first thinks Reed's claims to be from an Albanian crime family are lies intended to trick her. Soon, Mayuri begins to question the thin line between fiction and reality. Threats are made, daggers are drawn, and near-misses come too close for comfort. With Reed's promise to keep her safe from those who want her dead, and her growing belief that he may be lying about it all, Mayuri chooses to keep the dangerous part of her life a secret from her cop father. Things come to a head when she teams up with Reed's ex-girlfriend and best friend to uncover his secrets, leading to a night when a knife and a gun determine all their futures. She didn't mean to run away from a murder. She didn't have a choice. Abducted by someone she trusted, Mayuri must use all her wiles to save herself. The true lies that drew Reed and Mayuri together-and the false truths they discover along the way-could drive them apart forever.

Octavia. That's the name the world knows her by. One word. One name. At seventeen, she was a girl who had her spotlight when she was whisked away to co-star in what would be an award-winning movie. From that moment on, she had never strayed away. Now, at 24, Octavia is a star and has found herself in multiple productions. As she finds herself in Milan, Italy for a new and upcoming movie she is cast in, she crosses paths with Caleb Henderson, the famous writer known to the world as Romero Henderson. However, as the production of the movie begins, Octavia immediately decides her opinion of Caleb. She doesn't like him. She borderline hates him. She hates how annoying he is. She hates the stupid, random topics he always brings up. She hates how he almost always cuts her off whenever she's speaking. She hates how attracted she is to him. I exhaled, trying to rub the tiredness off my face with my hands. I looked down at his shadow on the ground to him. His face looked as if it was glowing from the sun, his eyes narrowing from the brightness. I let my gaze trail from the exposed tattoos on his arms to the stupid smile that was still on his face. "Why are you like this?" For a moment he didn't answer me. He simply glanced at me, knowing that I meant more in the five words. The smile on his face went from pure amusement to bitterness. It was something I had never seen before and I didn't think I wanted to see him smile like that ever again. He pivoted his head towards the sun once again and in a serious tone asked, "Would you have me any other way?" Cover: @EmSlough_
