■■ "Isn't it ironic how we kill flowers because we think that they're beautiful?" He asked, while I took hold of a yellow rose in my hand. I chuckled at him before answering, "Isn't it ironic that my name is Ayushi?" He rolled his eyes before an annoyed look found a way to his face. "Perhaps the reason people are drawn to flowers is not only because of their outer beauty, but because they remind you beautiful things will bloom after the longest seasons of waiting."

They say twins are each other's best friends. They after all, share everything including birthdays. Meet Arjun and Ananya. They are twins. But not your regular twins. They are both eccentric in their own ways and according to them, they're heeded on two completely different directions. One wants medicine, the other wants music. Ananya is the conventional good girl with a conventional good dream. Arjun is as far from being the parents-favourite as possible. He is both rebellious and reckless. The duo's journey towards adulthood is not smooth. As they bob along in a crazy household with a super dramatic family, fall in love (or do they?) and struggle to pursue their respective dreams, they realise that they do need each other more than they know. Because families can be crazy and dreams aren't easy. And deep down they are actually heading in the same direction - the direction of life. Join the twisted twins as they take you through a ride that's sometimes tender, sometimes a blunder but fully splendor.

You ever wondered what will happen when exes cross the same path again? "You!!!" I looked at him shocked and stunned. What is he doing here? Please Lord don't tell me he studies in the same college. I prayed looking at the boy in front of me who had a mirroring expression as mine. "What the hell are you doing here?"He demanded in his deep husky tone. I gulped hard at that. Why does he make me nervous whenever I see him? "Duh, I learn here." I replied in a sarcastic tone making him glare at me. "You've got be kidding me," he says unbelievably. "Nope, I'm not kidding," I say giving him a sarcastic smile and inched closer towards him. "Won't you welcome your ex-girlfriend to your college, Zian?" P. S. This is not an intercast/interreligion love story. All the characters in my books are Hindus, I just loved the name Zain so I named him that, this has nothing to do with caste/religion.
