Varna Stories

It was never "all or nothing". It was always "all and nothing". Both at once.

The story is about a little Town girl Varna, who steps into a Metropolitan city, carrying the weight of her painful past, to realize her dreams. She is a independent sort of gal, who gives top priority to her self respect.

Something happens in her life which is the cause for the change. Lets find out whether the change is for good or bad? What is her past? And what actually happened that brought her life upside down.
