"Dad, what's a soulmate?" Mia asked me, as I turned towards her. "A soulmate...," I replied with a smile, "...is someone like a best friend, but so much more- that one person in the world who knows you better than anyone else. It's someone who might not always be there with you, but will always inspire you to be a better person, a better version of yourself; someone who knows you for what you are, not what you pretend to be." As I sit by her and tuck the loose strands of her hair behind her ear, her lips part and then break out into a smile that lightens my day. "So, was mom your soulmate?" I stare back blankly, and then pull a little soft smile again, "Maybe, who knows?" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ [ ongoing ] || regular updates An original StarsAndFireflies_ creation. All copyrights intended.

Lying on the green grass, they were watching the stars when he had smiled at her, and uttered those beautifully venomous words- "People don't die from suicide, Nandini. They die from sadness". And it took her a while to understand them, but when she did, she smiled at him too. "But Manik, isn't it wrong, to grieve the tragedy of end so much, that you forget how beautiful the beginning was?" A one shot exploring the depth of human emotions caught in whirlwind of perceptions.

They say finding true love at nineteen is a blessing. Or so they thought until they believed in their love. But some people are really unlucky without any apparent fault of theirs. Manik Malhotra came in a similar category. Eight years later, when they met again, at their college reunion, love was bound to reignite. Or was it? Join Manik Malhotra and Nandini Murthy in their journey of finding love, throwing it away, changing drastically and then their strive to reclaim it.

*Alternate Universe* Family, the people who love us beyond conditions, beyond expectations and beyond boundaries. But sometimes, we forget that it's supposed to be unconditional, always! Manik Malhotra, the thirty year old business man belongs to a happy family and he takes it upon him to see to his family's happiness. Nandini Murthy, a happy go lucky girl of another happy family knows life only in unicorns and rainbows but is mature enough to know that the world isn't always so. Like always, they meet. And fall in love. But do they get their happily ever after?

Aahnik Singh Rathore's life was going fine until Khwaab Malik decided to enter and turn it upside down. Join the journey of their not so simple fairytale. Can be read as a general fiction.

Eight years is a long time but can love ever fade away? Nandini Murthy loved Manik Malhotra eight years back but is the love still alive after eight years?

*Completed* Nightmare - A Reality Check Manik Malhotra is put in a situation again to chose between his best friends and his little love, Nandini. Whom he gonna chose? Whom he gonna let down? It's a talent hunt track in my view !! I don't own any pictures or graphics in this book!!

Previously known as 'THERE FOR EACH OTHER' "And when my eyes fell on you, I realised that all I ever needed in life, To flourish and to bloom, Was you". Nandini Murthy isn't someone too keen about love because well, responsibilities, or maybe she uses that as a shield to stay away from love. She had never gotten her heart broken before, but the fear of love, is still firm in her heart. Manik Malhotra is too keen to love. Fairy tales and romantic comedies are his to go to escape. He wants to feel every damn emotion love brings with it. But does the Dawn and Dusk ever coexist?
