Mountainlife Stories

Zaniel is quiet, gentle, and convinced every part of him that makes him different is something to be fixed. He works twice as hard just to earn his place, smiles to hide the fear, and believes with all his heart that if anyone truly knew him... they would cast him out. So when his secret begins to unravel, he runs - up into the freezing mountain, convinced vanishing is the only way to protect the people he loves. Lior is the heir to lead their pack. He has everything expected of him - strength, duty, a future already written out before him. But he carries a secret of his own. And when he sees the quiet boy he has always watched from afar run away into the dark... he realises he cannot stay silent any longer. This is the story of two boys - one who thought he had to be perfect to be loved, and one who learned that being brave means standing in the light, even when your knees are shaking. A story of voices that lie, of mountains climbed and descended, of finding out the thing you were most afraid to show... is exactly what makes you loved.

As the sunset gifted by the Dream Weaver extended itself upon the five territories of the wolves, the pulse of the earth was easily felt as if a giant heart was beating in the deep rock of the cliffs on the Indian Ocean's coastline, stretching upon miles and arriving at the center of the small island thriving beside the border of America. The strong orange light brushed the fur of the creatures known as the wolves, who haunted the mountains with the crying howls of sorrow. Those of them asked to guard the border quickly scanned the perimiter of their huge amount of land with great efficiency, as their large amber brown eyes were able to see large patches of forest and mountain extending along their home. The expanding rumours are becoming threatening... The humans would try and attack the wolves ruthlessly, destroying anything in their path- biggest meadow to smallest toadstool. All the wolves could do is hope that they would not spill as much blood as other packs have in the past, creating chaos between their trinity: the Lhight, the Spirits and the Dream Weaver. They couldn't let that happen again... who has the guts to venture out and find out what the humans are planning? Join Thunder, as he embarks on the quest to seek out how the humans have been obliterating nature so effortlessly. On the way, he will discover many events happen: raging wars, fallen cities, and a great lot more... but can one wolfdog that has only recently become a pack member, make it through the challenges that lay ahead?

Two years ago, Aira Mehta walked away from Mumbai's endless noise, exhausting corporate routine, and the version of success everyone expected her to chase. She found herself in the quiet mountains of Himachal Pradesh, where life moved more slowly and mornings arrived wrapped in fog. There, she built a small café filled with warm coffee, handwritten poetry, soft music, and the kind of comfort that makes strangers feel at home the moment they step inside. For the first time in years, Aira felt at peace. She believed she had finally found the life she truly wanted. Then Kabir Sethi arrives. Ambitious, sharp, and far too restless for a place that survives on silence and stillness, Kabir comes with plans that could change everything Aira has built. Saying no to him should have been simple. But the harder part is making him understand why this little café means so much to her. As days turn into weeks, the distance between them slowly begins to fade. Through snowfall evenings, local festivals, quiet late-night conversations, acoustic music sessions, and long walks through the hills, Aira and Kabir begin to see parts of themselves they had buried for years. In the stillness of the mountains, both are forced to confront the exhaustion, loneliness, and unanswered questions they carried from their old lives. Told through Aira's perspective, *The Café Above the Clouds* is a heartfelt slow-burn contemporary romance about healing, belonging, second chances, and discovering that sometimes the life we leave behind was never truly meant for us in the first place.

The fog of Baguio hides many things - unfinished dreams, unpaid bills, almost-confessions... and one struggling restaurant fighting to stay alive. Amara thought opening Igorota Gastropub would finally prove that Cordilleran cuisine deserved a place in the modern food scene.

Then Nico arrives - quiet, frustratingly calm, and annoyingly good in the kitchen. As the restaurant struggles to survive in the competitive food scene of Baguio City, Amara and her chaotic team try everything: disastrous food reels, weekend markets, smoky pop-ups, questionable social media trends, and recipes built on equal parts passion and panic.

Warm, funny, and full of Cordilleran flavor, this is a story about food, love, ambition, and the slow burn of building something worth coming home to. *This is set on a gastropub on Session Road (Punchy Palate Gastropub), my go-to Cordilleran restaurant.
