    In a quaint village nestled in the foothills of the Stara Planina mountains, lived Grandpa Neno with his granddaughter Ginka. In his life, filled with simple joys and daily cares, the echo from the past suddenly sweeps in - the Cyundapp KS750 motorcycle. This retro machine not only awakens memories from Neno's war years but also brings excitement into his quiet daily life, introducing Kiril (Kircho) - a young motorcyclist with a passion for vintage vehicles. After a series of comedic and warm encounters, the two worlds - old and new, collide and unite to tell a story of family, friendship, and unexpected connections that shape our lives in unpredictable ways. "Grandpa Neno and the Motorcycle" is a heartrending journey back in time, filled with nostalgia, generosity, and rediscovered love, reminding us that sometimes stories find us in the most unexpected ways.

    Some crossings are not journeys - they are decisions you can never undo. When unease begins to ripple through Pearl City, Mei Lin moves her family to the Royal Kingdom, believing it will offer stability, fairness, and opportunity. She tells herself it is only a bridge between two lives. But the bridge she steps onto is made of paper. Fragile. Silent. One way. Behind her, ageing parents continue their days without her, their presence slowly reduced to phone calls and distant memories. Ahead, her children grow roots in unfamiliar soil, speaking of the future in a language of belonging she herself never fully acquires. Work brings its own disillusionments. The new home offers safety, yet never quite feels secure; the old home remains emotionally close, yet increasingly unreachable. Years later, another truth begins to surface: she did not only leave her parents behind. One day, she may also find herself separated from her children, whose idea of "home" no longer includes the city she once called hers. Migration, she learns, is not simply relocation. It is a slow reshaping of identity, family, and time itself. Paper Bridge is a quiet literary novel about departure, generational distance, resilience, and the invisible cost of choosing a future that can never fully replace the past.

    In the heart of a chaotic Indian city, 22-year-old girl lives her life by the second-running between deadlines, data, and the 8:30 PM last bus. She never has a moment to spare, especially not for the mysterious old lady who sits at her bus stop every night. But when the lady disappears for a day, the silence is louder than the city's roar. Driven by a sudden surge of curiosity, the girl makes a pact: she will give the stranger exactly 8 minutes of her time. What follows is a journey through memory, time, and the realization that sometimes, 480 seconds is all it takes to change two lives forever.

    A story is one thing , but different short stories are on another level. As an upcoming author (hopefully I make it) I thought why not create a book of short stories since I can't seem to finish one novel. So I did it , you guessed right, I created my own collections of short stories that I'm sure I'll try to update now and then. Get woven into different lessons , funny moments and crazy with different characters in thier once in a life time "day of my life story"
