"What are summers for?" groaned Megha, scrolling through her phone. "To escape from math and heat!" Aditi stated the obvious as she moved onto her next page of the comic. "To sleep to your heart's content and free from exam stress," replied Alkananda before she fell down from the sofa. All three of them burst into laughter as they heard the thud of Alkananda's fall. Three cousins are back at their grandparents house at Udhagamandalam, popularly known as Ooty. A memorable summer filled with adventures, craziness, delicious food, embarrassing moments, and loving grandparents was waiting for them. Alkananda, Megha, and Aditi are lucky to have the same maternal and paternal grandparents! Every summer, visiting their grandparents is a must routine, but this summer is something special as they're back after three years. The trio was not alone this time; they met a brother and sister duo who matched their crazy levels. Train rides, running from the street dogs, sneaking off to eat the secret stash of cookies, and creating a mess in the name of DIYs, they've done it all for the sake of escaping boredom and made memories to cherish for life long. That's what their story was for this summer! This book contains the real-life adventures done by the author, or maybe not. ;) Slow updates

Reel may not always seem 'real' but it's always originated from real "Wedding on a vacation?! Who does that?" Yelled Shristi clearly not pleased with the idea. "Why not?!" Asked Vishal raising his brows. "Well if you do, we'll be the first ones to start a trend. Imagine the popularity!" Replied Abhilash with much excitement. Poor Shristi, it's been just a day since she landed in Araku Valley and she had lost her sanity. Well whom to blame?! It's been crazy since the start. Dreams can change lives, can they change the spirit of life too? Divided by thoughts, united by emotions; will Abhilash and Shristi overcome the obstacles? Together will they realize, all it takes is a moment that they are not lost but had been holding the map reverse? A new l̶i̶f̶e̶ start? ( maybe ) A new tale Started on : 6/2/21 P.S: I'm sorry if you found this book cliché, fast paced, slow paced or even weird. Read it at your own will. Thank you to all the readers who are actually planning to read this or read it. It may not be a masterpiece but definitely a vivid work of my mind. (Sequel to SHAADI can be read as standalone)

Featured 2x @ShortStory Weddings are fun, right?! Not the scenes behind... but what if it turns out to be a roller coaster journey? Completely unexpected, clueless, and kind of disastrous events occur... What happens when a wedding stops? Nope, not because the bride ran away nor did the groom; no one got kidnapped nor killed. Nope, not the cliché is happening. Not even because of a virus, but the grandfather of the bride went missing. 3 Am - the worst possible things could happen, but no one ever imagines their wedding to come to an unpredicted hiatus. Would they enjoy their wild goose chase to find her grandpa? Or just be idle, not knowing how this happy turned clueless event is going to pass and shine with dawn? Let's travel together with this mad yet humour filled, crazy journey of Shanti and Aditya 'SHAADI' Special Thanks to: @dreamcatcher0105 for the awesome banners!!! Edited by:@Kaitemarie96 Started: 20/12/20 Finished: 23/12/20 P.S Title of this book is inspired from a YouTube video.

❝ They married as strangers. Shared a room. And slowly... they became each other's home. ❞ Anaya wears sarees and bakes the kind of cakes that taste like memories. Vihaan codes in sweatpants and hoodies, loves silence, and blushes when she flirts. They didn't choose love. They chose marriage - quiet, arranged, and unfamiliar. But between shared blankets, lingering touches, chai in the morning, and midnight whispers... something soft begins to bloom. This is not a love story that starts with sparks. It starts with burnt toast, shy glances, and a hoodie left on her side of the bed.
