Living in busy London, their weekends are full of tube adventurous, visiting the Queen (That's what they tell their friends anyway) and making up stories in their little-shared bedroom in North London.

A real story of a village boy from Agra, born in struggle and raised in silence. From helping in chilli fields to studying at IIT Madras, this is a journey of pain, pressure, and perseverance - told by someone who still questions his worth but refuses to give up.

The story "When the River Met the Road" is about Arjun, a privileged Delhiite, whose life of comfort and ambition is challenged when he meets Tara, a passionate architect working on rural development.

As they build bridges-both literal and emotional-they learn that love is not just about holding on, but also about letting go and creating something that truly matters. This authentic tale explores growth, social responsibility, and the unexpected paths that lead to real connection.

Lin Yue, an orphan raised in modern China's big city, suddenly wakes up in the year 1975 in a warm, loving countryside household. Her new family consists of doting parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and three older brothers. She's the only girl in her generation - spoiled and cherished by all.

With this power, she can subtly transform her family's life, education, and health - without attracting too much attention.
