Perception (Previously Known As " Coffee... Or Tea?")

Highest rank #5 (Dedication) and #86(General fic) as on 21.05.18.

People say 'let the dead past bury its dead'. But, can one truly forget their agonizing past to concentrate on the present and pave way for a beautiful and bright future?

Young, independent and on the path of success, 26-year-old Sam definitely has a story to tell. With a disturbing yet memorable past and equally frustrating present, she fights against all the odds including her own bipolar, to make the world a better place to live in, for herself and for all the people surrounding her.
No, wait! It's not that simple!
It's not just her tale.

Anil, an aspiring writer and civil servant.
Arbaaz, an anti-hero with a complicated character.
Tania, a magazine editor, a dusky skinned girl fighting against the societal norms.
Dr. Ellen, a psychiatrist and an estranged daughter.

A cock-TALE of many people around Sam, from different walks of life wound together to make HER tale. Each character has a story of his/her own and an individual fight against the patriarchal Indian society.

It describes friendship, love, romance, social issues around us, bitter truth, practical mystery, has teen ventures and most of all, it defines life itself. Beware! It might leave you breathless at some point!

Author's Note: This book doesn't intend to hurt the sentiments of people from any caste or religion. It solely highlights the problems existing in our country (India) and abroad. It has slightly matured content and few cuss words but it could be freely read by a 16-year-old and older.
It is just a book written by a 16 year old. A work of fiction, drawn inspiration from a few instances of my life and my personal experiences. However, it's not my tale and absolutely NOT a teen fiction.
The reason I put it under general fiction is that, it just doesn't fit into any other single category.
Remember, this is a draft that is being published right now and is subject to editing and changes in the near future.
