SEQUEL TO DID YOU GET YOUR PERIOD? Shouldn't you be brimming with confidence after graduation? Armed with a degree in History, her high school love story still strong, camera roll filled with boomerangs and an insatiable appetite for Schezwan Maggie- why is this spunky desi girl feeling more lost than ever? *** The façade of "college life" that Karan Johar movies have promised you shatters within the first week of university. An extravagant Bollywood marketing gimmick. After three tumultuous years at college, it's time to face the real world. But what if you're not ready? Having convinced her mother to let her take an unconventional gap year, she's back at her home town. What was supposed to be a year of de-stressing; slowly begins unfolding to be everything but that. A sarcastic boy in a wheelchair, blue-haired yoga teachers, an absentee boyfriend and periods that happen four times a year- seem like a lot for a twenty-one year old to deal with. Throw into the mix a mother who won't stop hinting about UPSC examinations, a sister dropping bombshells and some very strange Gmail notifications. This nuclear Indian family has a lot to deal with! Shweta is learning how to answer some difficult questions this time. Who was the eighth Prime Minister of India? Will moon bathing help her menstrual cycle? And quite importantly, is love just a marketing gimmick too?

HIGHEST: #6 IN HUMOR "Your command over sarcasm appalls me." "As does your ability to comprehend it." With a practically non-existent social life, extra study sessions at the best coaching institute in the city, a mind numbingly boring job and a best friend whose sole purpose seems to be getting her a boyfriend, Alankrita Sundar was content with the hand she'd been dealt. But when she receives a text from Ruhan Das, a boy whose very presence made her skin crawl, she realises that the bland oatmeal that is her life was in dire need of some spicing up. What began as a message sent to the wrong person soon turns into a twisted game of Guess Who, as Alankrita realizes faking an identity opens a lot of previously bolted doors- including one that leads to the darkest secrets of one of the most well-known students in school. The series of messages exchanged between Alankrita and Ruhan explore several aspects of each other's life, and through their shared experiences they realise that they aren't as different as they'd previously imagined.

Ugliness, however, is unique. ------------------- One girl, a walking-talking example of contradictions -- ambitious but naive, kind but blunt, social but awkward -- is living in perhaps the most competitive society in this world.

Unfortunately, millions of others share this dream, and in order to fulfill hers, she has to eliminate her competition, literally. Throw in a fair share of drama. Friends and family, crushes and exes, decisions and choices, and the life story of an Indian teenager would be complete. ---------------------- The last few years of school are the most memorable; grades, stress and career mixed with friends, fun and dreams. But most of the time when we are planning our awesome candid picture-perfect life, we end up crossing the 'i's and dotting the 't's. ------------------------------------ COMPLETED ON JULY 14, 2018 Featured in the teen fiction reading list of Wattpad India!

A girl. Her mace. The nation. ~.~ Marrying Ashok was Maya's destiny, their fathers had sealed it when she was five. Her older brother Manoj had a strange way of preparing her for it-priming her mind through books and body through physical training. Growing up, Maya cherished his attention and approval, caring little about his lectures as she practiced mace fighting. It all changed when news arrived of Manoj's death. Shot freeing prisoners, Maya's hero died a criminal. Disowned by her parents, her in-laws, her village, no one claimed Manoj's body until his wrestling Acharya stepped forward to cremate him. Her engagement shattered. Maya turned to his Acharya, insisting he help her rewrite fate. For five years, she trained under Acharya ji using Vayu, her brother's mace. Her quiet rage simmered as seasons passed, her muscles grew, and her family slipped into slow destitution. Ashok's father, British-loving zamindar Bade Babu, came to their rescue, restoring her match with Ashok. The government would leave them alone, he told them, no one remembered Manoj anyway. Except Maya. ~.~ Image used in the book cover is an oil painting by German Artist Hermann Linde (1863-1926), titled, "Girl standing in a verandah wearing a pochampalli sari."

She is ready for all this, she knew when she chose to leave her home that a lot of things would change, what she wasn't ready for, was her father's request, her grandparents' wishes, and marriage.
