Aiden Acharya once thought that once he got married, his life would be perfect. But what he didn't expect was that it'd be like his parents marriage. The reason he'd stop believing in love a long time ago. Now, he wants a way out. But when he gets the news of his life from his wife, Arundhati, he isn't sure what to do.

For seventeen-year-old Aru Shah, the Hamptons is a battlefield of old money, starched linen, and suffocating whispers. Eight years ago, her father's failed corporate coup against the multi-billion-dollar Acharya Media stripped her branch of the family of their wealth, their reputation, and their seat at the table. But following her father's recent death, a fragile olive branch from her wealthy aunt brings Aru and her mother back to the world they were erased from, the glittering lakeside estates and private lawns of the Midsummer Cotillion season, where the daughters of prestigious families are formally introduced to society and everyone is watching. Aru returns as a social pariah. She watches from the sidelines as her cousin Kara, gorgeous, elegant, and beloved, orbits effortlessly through the world Aru was born into but never allowed to keep. And at the center of that world, as always, is Aiden Acharya: the untouchable golden heir of Acharya Media, devastatingly handsome, fiercely guarded, and widely expected to spend the summer making it official with Kara. And most of all, her first love. To Aiden, Aru is a chaotic nuisance from a disgraced family. To the rest of the summer colony, she is a charity case to be pitied or mocked. So when a cruel public humiliation at the season's opening gala leaves Aru with nothing left to lose, she does the worst possible thing: she corners Aiden Acharya and proposes a deal. Fake-date her.

In Thunder, Chaos, and Everything After, follow Aru Shah and the Pandavas as they navigate the messy, hilarious, and heartfelt reality of life after saving the world. From pranking the Council of Gods to navigating first relationships, from midnight museum conversations to chaotic training sessions, these interconnected stories explore what it means to be a hero when there's no war left to fight.

Aru Shah and Aiden Acharya have not spoken properly since the night of Brynne's Diwali party. She's been fine. She's been absolutely fine. She has a curry plant and a job and two best friends who only ask about him every other week now, which is progress. Then Mini and Rudy announce they're getting married in Hampi, ancient ruins, sacred river, the exact city where Aru and Aiden once stopped being enemies, and suddenly she is a bridesmaid and he is the wedding photographer and they are going to be in the same place for seven days and she has no plan whatsoever. She never has a plan. That's always been his job. Told in two timelines, the present, a wedding week unraveling every unresolved thing between them, and the past, five summers of trips across India that built a friendship that quietly became something neither of them had a clean word for: Every Place We've Ever Been is a story about how far two people can travel together while still managing to miss the point. It is also, unexpectedly, a murder mystery. Because on the second night in Hampi, a body turns up in the temple ruins. A stolen divine artifact is missing. And the only two people with the knowledge and the clearance to do something about it are Aru Shah and Aiden Acharya, who can barely look at each other without two years of unsaid things rising to the surface, which makes the enforced proximity either the worst possible timing or, if Sheela's cryptic non-prophecies are to be believed, exactly the right kind. Somewhere between solving a murder, recovering an artifact that could enslave half the mortal world, and watching their best friends get married in a city that remembers everything, they are going to have to decide whether they're brave enough to say the thing they've been almost-saying for five years.

Sixteen-year-old Aru Shah is living anything but a fairy tale. Since her mother's death left her in the care of her indifferent stepfather Vikram Nath, Aru spends her days leading museum tours in a name-tagged vest, waiting on donors she'll never be, and sharing an attic with the ghost of everything that used to be hers.. all while dreaming of the one thing that might finally set her free: Princeton University. She finds romance with an anonymous online pen pal, but faces a crisis when she discovers he is Aiden Acharya: the school's star quarterback, most popular boy on campus, and heir to Atlanta's biggest law firm. The last person she ever expected, and the one person she can't afford to want. Now Aru must find the courage to stop hiding, stand up for everything she's always dreamed of, and finally step out of the attic she's been living in her whole life.

Aiden Acharya is a headstrong inspiring musician. He meets Aru Shah, a quiet journalist-always with a diary in her hand writing poetry. What happens when the two collaborate on music and unexpectedly fall in love? Can their love overshadow Aru's diagnosis of Alzheimer's? From the movie Saiyaara :) Read my other stories.

Aru Shah's life get's absolutely upturned when she has to move from her beloved mother's house to her aunt's orphanage. Not choice, but need. But there, she finds true companionship when she meets Mini and Brynne who are also stranded in the place. And the mysterious, closed up, Aiden Acharya: beautiful, perfect, ethereal. And silent. He won't talk to her, anyone, and no one knows anything about him. As Aru navigates the true secrets behind her sentence to the orphanage and helps Brynne understand her past, she finds herself drawn to the cold boy who keeps everyone out.

Aru Shah isn't a normal high schooler. Sure, she dreads homework. Yeah, she has a complicated love life (and by complicated, I mean messed up af). And yet, she doesn't fit in. There's one side of her only her closest friends know. She is a Pandava. A reincarnation of the great Arjuna! While other teenagers gossip and talk, Aru here is fighting for her life and is saving the world every few months. While her peers learn about WW1 and algebra, Aru learns about war formations and Hindu mythology. Even though half the time she feels like it's the end of the world, she and her friends fight till the end. Who is Indra? Who's Hanuman? And who the heck is Urvashi? Find out with Aru on this thrilling adventures in this book full of Aus, oneshots and ARU SHAH HEAVEN!

Warnings: Cursing, romance, violence (maybe, but at least the mention of violence), and Kara being nice (because I'm a Kara Apologist). Arundhati Krithika Shah. She's not well-known, to almost everyone. Well, except on the streets. After she lost her parents in a car accident, which killed her mother and father-Krithika and Suyodhana Shah, she ended up in the orphanage. After two years of dealing with the cruelty of the orphanage workers-she refuses to call them her "caregivers"-she ran away. She made a life on the streets, learning how to fight instead of learning math or history, eventually carving her name into the list of people to avoid on the streets. Then there's Aiden Acharya, son of Malini Acharya, famous, no, more than famous singer and dancer. He always got what he wished for as soon as he desired it. He's that popular boy at school that never meant to be popular, but he is. Probably because of his looks-literally, he does get flirted with (I'm sorry, I had to), disappointingly. Aiden learned how to dance instead of how to throw a punch. He learned math and history instead of how to survive alone. He learned manners, how to be polite, how to pretend all day, how to control his temper so that he doesn't snap at anyone. In all honestly, they never meant to bump into each other-especially not right after Aru was in a fight.

The name "Arundhati" was whispered as if it were poison. People were warned-"Don't mess with Krithika Shah, for if her daughter comes to kill you." Each baby since her rise has been told horror stories about her, warned about her. Not one person, whether adult or child, didn't fear her. Except one. And his name is Aiden Acharya, prince of the land. The prince has always wondered what she's like, ever since his childhood best friend, Brynne Rao, sent him a letter, reassuring him that she's alright, just on Arundhati's ship, living with her. What happens when Prince Aiden Acharya is kidnapped by none other than Arundhati Krithika Shah herself, and meets her all-female crew? And what if, the gods forbid, the two fall in love?
