From Dust to Sky" is a poignant narrative set in the vibrant yet challenging Chittagong of the 1990s. The story begins on a tumultuous, stormy night in Patharghata, where Ayna, a young widow, gives birth to her son, Mahmud, amidst despair and isolation. Haunted by the recent loss of her husband and facing dire poverty in her small tin-shed home, Ayna grapples with overwhelming fear and uncertainty about her child's future. Yet, with the selfless help of a kind neighbor, Rubina, and the tiny cries of her newborn, she finds an indomitable strength, vowing to fight the world for Mahmud. ​The narrative then transports us into Mahmud's early life, where the harsh realities of hunger and scarcity become his first lessons. As Ayna stares at the empty cooking pot, she reaffirms her resolve, fueled by the dream that Mahmud will one day attend St. Placid's School, a symbol of hope and a brighter future. Despite the crushing words of cynical neighbors, Ayna's determination remains unbroken. She whispers promises to her son, assuring him that the narrow lanes of Patharghata will never confine his destiny. ​This is a story of a mother's fierce love, resilience against all odds, and the silent, powerful beginning of a life destined to rise "From Dust to Sky." It's a testament to the human spirit's ability to find light even in the darkest storms, woven into the rich tapestry of a bygone era in Chittagong.

"In a marriage neither of them asked for, can love ever be anything but a dangerous mistake? "Two couples. Four hearts tangled in fate, family, and forbidden choices. Anvi and Ayansh: She's a wildfire-bold, defiant, and unafraid to fight for what feels right. He's ice-controlled, distant, and bound by duty more than desire. Their marriage was scripted long before they ever met, a contract sealed in family blood rather than emotion. But when fury meets frost, sparks ignite. Between sharp words and aching silences, Anvi starts to see the man behind Ayansh's armor-flawed, fierce, and impossibly magnetic. And Ayansh? He's learning that even the strongest walls crumble when the heart decides to fight back. Tara and Aariv: She's the quiet warmth everyone leans on-true, devoted, and burdened by love that asks for too much. He's the charming storm-reckless, wounded, and running from everything real. Aariv is the kind of danger Tara swore she'd never fall for, but fate has other plans. Their connection is both poison and cure-unspoken, undeniable, and intoxicating enough to ruin them both. "Bonds We Never Chose" is a slow-burn romance woven with heartbreak, longing, and the fragile hope that love can bloom even in the most impossible places. When duty collides with desire and silence becomes louder than truth, these four souls must decide -will they surrender to the bonds they never chose, or fight for the ones their hearts refuse to forget?
