"Forever, I had stayed silent, closed off, cut by the doldrums of family politics and societal pressures. Buried under biased judgements, I dwarfed to insignificant heights. But, inside the blaze fought to seize power-an inferno. Raging flames fuelled to perfection-burning hot with wrath, scorched by hindered expectations and smothered under unrealized dreams. Beauty and the beast reside together, working in unison. When one sleeps another awakes. Every beauty has a beast, brought alive by a trigger. I was a beauty, but then shit happened. Still, I smile. I laugh. I cook. I sew. I make love. I'm a good girl. But, good girls aren't necessarily good, it's just that they aren't bad in the traditional way. ---------------------------------------------------------- "You will get used to it...just a matter of time", her mother stated. "Every girl goes through this phase." It's easier said than done. For Sreya, the statement failed to shed a warm light, never had. And growing up in Swarupnagar, a suburb in one of the most dead corners of Kolkata didn't contribute much to the situation either. Dreams aren't bound, neither by words nor by limitations. Sreya dreamt for just one thing-get out of the system and create a life of her own. But, not every dream can be fulfilled; even worse, what if they come at a cost? What happens when your past that you skilfully camouflage haunts as your worst nightmare and the institution of marriage that people hold as sacred is rigged at the very core! Set against a backdrop of Metropolitan Kolkata, this tale of lust, ambition, addiction and revenge creates a wild concoction that is sure to leave readers' minds content, fulfilled and craving for more. ---------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: MATURE CONTENT Start date: 13/08/2021 End date: 30/9/2021

Olivia Lorraine, or Olivia Large as the 'populars' cleverly invented, is one of the biggest girls in school. But her problem isn't being fat. Afterall, she isn't the only over weight one in school. Her issue is that people seem to care more about her weight than she does. When ignored insults and witty responses transform to violent tendencies, Olivia begins feeling lost and alone. That is until an anonymous message finds it's way to her phone. It isn't anything mean of stupid like her previous text pranks from school. In fact, it seems a thousand times worse. It's a 3 letter word, bold, underlined and italic. Not to mention in capital letter. 'I like you, Olivia Lorraine" To most, it's a sweet confession from a secret admirer. To Olivia it's the biggest joke she's ever read. As she goes through the overwhelming experiences of making new friends, loving herself and expertly ignoring the anonymous messenger, she can't ignore the nagging in her brain of who is the most ridiculous; The idiot that sent the text. Or herself for hoping it's true.
