Refreshing Stories

A collection about loving deeply, longing quietly, leaving fear behind, and finding meaning in the smallest traces we leave on one another.

In an era of casual situationships, fleeting flings and easy goodbyes, Ishan thought he had found the real deal. But when his one-year relationship shatters, so does his ego. Playing it cool while waiting for his ex to crawl back, he is blindsided to find she has already moved on. Drowning in bitter resentment and a creeping depression, Ishan's world is spinning out of control. ​Then, a second shock hits. His grandmother, Rukmini---his lifelong solace and protective shield---collapses. Rushing back to his hometown of Prayagraj, consumed by guilt for neglecting her, Ishan finds a woman on her deathbed. ​Rukmini senses the unspoken turmoil in her grandson's heart. Knowing words won't heal his cynicism, she hands him a sealed envelope with one final dying wish: ​​​​​​"Deliver this, and bring back a reply before I takes my last breath." ​The recipient? Her true love. The address? He have to find. Ishan's world tilts. Blinded by the raw agony of his own fresh heartbreak, he doesn't stop to consider the rigid, forced social realities of 1968. He doesn't see a tragic end of young love; he only sees a betrayal that mirrors his own pain. "How can she thought of any other man instead of grandpa?" ​Driven by a mix of anger, curiosity, and a desperate need to confront this ghost from the past, Ishan tracks the address through the ancient, narrow lanes of Ayodhya--- only to hit a terrifying dead end that shatters everything he thought he knew. ​Join Ishan on a soul-stirring journey across time, grief, and unhealed wounds. As the secrets of the past unspool along the banks of the Ganga, will The 24th Letter permanently break his faith in relationships, or will it teach a restless Gen-Z heart what it truly means to love? Happy Reading ❣️❣️ ​

Poetry a blend of vulnerability and power. Capturing feelings through lyrical language and poigant imagery~ Perfect blend of earnest duty of scholar, sharp eyes of general, dragon tears, phoenix yearnings, qilin's healing essence and nature's embrace to the observer. Raw emotions, untamed and true. Written from heart, for the heart. -Ruby/Willow

At nineteen, you've seen enough to have opinions but not enough to be sure. That's exactly where Kushal Singh writes from in "Nineteen in Retrospect," a serialised memoir of lessons and lived moments before twenty. In candid, unpolished chapters, he traces the arc of his life so far: the thrill and heartbreak of friendships, the sting of betrayal, the confusing pull of first attractions, the weight of social anxiety, the stubbornness of dreams and ambitions, and the quiet faith that steadies him through it all. More than a chronological autobiography, this book is a mosaic of observations and reflections. Each chapter stands on its own - a story, a thought, a scene - but together they form a portrait of a young person trying to understand the world and his place in it. By sharing his point of view without preaching, Kushal invites readers to recognise their own teenage selves in his words and to see that growing up is as much about losing and doubting as it is about finding and believing.

As the chapter numbers accumulate, so does the word count. Random Stories but mostly Horror now.

silence can be suffocating, but sometimes its all you need to pull through .... especially when you have someone to share it with. Diara is not someone who easily gives up, she is a fighter , she is strong and fierce and knows how to voice her opinion . but she is also lonely and tired and drowning in all the strangling responsibilities thrown upon her , pulling her down like an anchor but also keeping her from floating astray. But what will happen when all the pressure gets too much to handle , will she break or will she pull through .. Maybe with a little help from a stranger.
