Malar, a petite, dark-skinned, and talented young woman, lives in a world that measures her worth by her appearance rather than her heart. Judged by her own family and dismissed by her husband, she navigates a life of neglect, duty, and quiet suffering. Yet, within her, a resilient strength grows-through motherhood, sacrifice, and the years of enduring unseen. As love, recognition, and respect arrive slowly, Malar learns that courage isn't always loud, and the deepest bonds are often forged in silence. Shadows of Silence is a poignant tale of resilience, unacknowledged love, and the quiet power of a woman who survives it all.

No dreamy glances. No dramatic accidents. No slow-motion romance. When Vaidehi Mhatre- a fiercely independent, sharp-tongued, school teacher meets Yash Deshpande- a humble, dark-skinned corporate employee who's been rejected time and again for not being "enough".

Set in the heart of middle-class India, Mr. & Mrs. Middle-Class explores what happens after the wedding - not before it. With no villains in sarees, no over-the-top drama, and no chase for perfection - this is a tale of two ordinary people building an extraordinary bond...

Rudra pulled up her chin gently to look into her eyes. "If you thought you were good enough for me, you would have never proposed the deal. You would have never put your health at risk to achieve it. And yet I had always seen you as a kind little girl who took care of me like a mother. Who would make samosas for me when I came home. Who would wait outside my room for hours together. Who would make sure that my socks were restocked every summer. And many other things.....Baby it never occurred to me to measure your worth. I was not in love with you back then, but you were a part of my life, sweet." He finished with a sweet tender kiss. "You..you..knew?" A very red Anvi asked in astonishment. "What? That I was your first crush?" He smirked, turning her redder by the second. "Now let me kiss you before you put on that lipstick." He pulled her into a soul-satisfying kiss. ______________ It is a beautiful journey of Anvi and Rudra. A short heart warming love story.
