This is Book 2 of the series Ansh: More Than a Brother (You can read it as a standalone too!) 18-year-old Ansh now wiser, louder, and more rebellious stepping into college life. But despite the changes, one thing remains the same: the most important person in his life is still his dada, Arjun. Arjun Malhotra, whose entire world revolves around Ansh, has always protected their little world fiercely. But what happens when a third person enters that world? Will their bond shatter or grow even stronger than before?

In a world driven by noise, ambition, and endless distraction, one man dares to walk the path inwards. TAPASYA is the story of an ordinary soul in the modern era who breaks free from material illusion and walks through fire - both real and metaphorical - in search of the ultimate liberation: Moksha. Across 60 transformative parts, divided into 6 sacred phases - Agni, Dwandwa, Vairagya, Bodha, Shunyata, Moksha - the story blends ancient Indian wisdom with the challenges of today's world. With verses from the Gita and Upanishads guiding each step, this isn't just a novel - it's a reflection, a mirror, and for many... a beginning.

Disclaimer : It's a work of fiction!! I don't claim this as authentic. Shiva and Shakti are the primordial forces of the universe, but even they were not spared from the humane cycle of love, attachment and grief. Their's is a love story so powerful that it shaped the entire world. Sati, the ever free spirited Princess of Kankhal had brought down the ascetic Shiva to the realm of love. But how will their love bloom? And what is the price they would have to pay? Welcome to the journey of love, loss and grief where you can experience the whirlwind of emotions of their story. A/N - This work has been rewritten so please read it again cause I've changed almost everything (I've definitely grown as a writer in three years).
