Nandini Murthy is a young, beautiful and successful professional living in the vibrant city of New York. A sincere and dedicated worker-she hardly has any time for a social life or a relationship, and seems to be married to her work. Her mundane life becomes only slightly exciting when a deliciously mysterious stranger, moves in next door to her... She develops the harmless habit of observing him intermittently through the window of her studio apartment. But, what happens, when one night, she sees something that she's not supposed to? Note: This story will be darker than my other works. Don't expect stars and fireflies in this one...only a twisted plot.

Nandini Murthy. They say that's me. According to them, I think abnormally. Paranoid and deluded-they call me. In layman's terms, they think I'm crazy. Tying me up is for my own good-they say. Will be safe in here-I pray. They say that I'll get out some day. They say a lot, don't they? Trouble is, I hear voices. Voices giving me choices Voices telling me to run away. To not trust them, in any way. Placing me on the horns of a dilemma. Deciphering it all takes away my stamina. Memories are blank, only one name persists. Have to find out if HE really exists. Note: This story will have a stream of consciousness type narration which means that it'll convey the protagonist's unfiltered thoughts and have a lyrical quality to them. Just trying out a new technique! Hope you guys like it!

Two beautiful people meet at a beautiful place and fall for each other... What happens next? A wedding perhaps? After which they live happily ever after? Wrong! Tragedy strikes in the worst way possible... But is it possible to separate two lovers who are fated together? Join me on this journey of Manik and Nandini's eternal love story. Note: This story is written in semi-epistolary form which means that the narration will progress indirectly through message exchanges, official documents, etc, instead of direct first person narration. It's just another experiment with my writing style. Hope you guys like it! Fingers crossed!
