Set against the evocative backdrop of the beloved show Barrister Babu, Protishruti picks up the story when Bondita Das is fifteen, no longer the child saved from the cruel practice of Sati Pratha, but a young woman awakening to complex truths about her marriage. She discovers how Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, the enlightened barrister who returned from Kingston, London, to protect her, never married Bondita out of love. Instead, his union was a sacrifice to save her life. As Bondita's feelings shift from ownership to gratitude, she uncovers a deeper secret: Aniruddha gave up his true love, Saudamini, breaking their engagement to marry her. Why is Saudamini still unmarried? Could the embers of their past love still burn quietly? Meanwhile, Aniruddha wrestles with his growing attraction to Bondita while respecting her unpreparedness. His attempts to keep a distance only deepen misunderstandings, challenging both to confront the realities of their changed relationship. Protishruti is a poignant exploration of love, sacrifice, and the fragile dance of emotions in a marriage born out of duty rather than desire. This novella, originally written in Bengali and translated into English, invites readers to journey through the nuanced struggles and hopes of two souls striving to find their way to each other. For fans of Barrister Babu and lovers of heartfelt, character-driven stories, Protishruti offers a fresh, intimate perspective on a beloved tale.

The story picks up from when Chachi is worried that Samaina's love marriage will affect Preeti's future. In this story, Preeti and Pandit are the main characters as I wanted to see them together as a couple in the show. Samaina are supporting characters and some characters may be shown in a different light from the show as the story is written keeping Preeti and Pandit as central characters. As the writer, I have taken creative liberty in adding more depth to these characters in order to build a story around them.

I always felt that Aarohi's character in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai was never given the justice she deserved. Despite her complex background and potential, Aarohi's journey was often overshadowed, leaving her misunderstood and sidelined. Her emotions, struggles, and ambitions were not explored in depth, and her growth felt incomplete. That's why I'm writing this story-to give Aarohi the chance to shine on her own terms, to explore her resilience, her relationships, and the person she becomes. This story is about her finding her true identity, rising above the past, and embracing her future with strength and grace

Arnav Singh Raizada and Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada have been married for more than a couple of years now, but the daily adventures centering Arnav's anger and Khushi's clumsiness are far from over, and Raizada parivaar is on board for the giggles and amusement. Capturing twenty or so small moments that the Raizadas found themselves in! These series are part of "The Raizadas Forever" Alternate Universe.

The day is 14 August, 2012. The contract marriage between Arnav Singh Raizada and Khushi Kumari Gupta stands no more and it is now time to end things once and for all. And yet, as the two of them move apart, their hearts still beat for each other. The pain of staying in a forced marriage, based on betrayal and misunderstanding, is nothing compared to the anguish that sweeps them as they embark on a lifetime journey without one another. It is now that both of them realise, that the dreams they nurtured and the hopes they harbored, were all impossible. __________________ This is a short story based on the song 'Impossible' by James Arthur, a rendition that I think would befit the feelings of Arnav and Khushi if the truth about Shyam had not come out on time. This is, therefore, NOT a full fledged fanfiction. I intend to simply explore the emotions of Arnav and Khushi as they separate. The ending is most likely to be open-ended.
