Family functions and reunions are fun! Until they aren't.
Let's be honest, would it make Anindita very different from us if she wanted the ground to break open and swallow her up during a family reunion? And by "us" I mean the average middle child of an average middle class family who grew under the shadows of her older overachiever sibling and were kept on a leash by our parents to always act our best. And now we became the social timebomb waiting to go off any minute.
This is for all the underappreciated quite souls who'd rather let their anxiety eat them up than share it in fear of making an mountain out of a mole hill. Let's take a break from looking for the purpose of life and have a heart to heart.

"If I lose something valuable, what would you do?" Tara asked. "If I can replace it, I will. But if not, I'll hug the life out of you and make up for the loss with extra love." "What if I annoy you?" "I'll bear with you," he said, a teasing smile playing on his lips. "What if I make a mistake?" she pressed. "I'll scold you... but while holding you close to me, so you know I'm not really upset."

Under the Same Sky
One night. One mistake. One life-altering consequence. When Ira Kapoor, a girl born into wealth and perfection, wakes up to two pink lines and a blurry memory, her carefully curated world unravels. The father? Anirudh Sharma-a grounded, soft-spoken manager at an event firm, older than her by a few years and miles apart in lifestyle. Neither love nor even friendship ties them together. Only a moment of impulsiveness they never meant to share-and a child they never planned to create. Forced into a sudden marriage to preserve her family's honour, Ira finds herself in a modest home, far from the comforts of her past and with a man she barely knows. Her heart resists, her pride rebels. Middle-class life feels suffocating, and Anirudh's quiet existence is a world she doesn't understand. But beneath the surface of their mismatched lives is something unexpected-kindness that doesn't demand, patience that doesn't waver, and a slow-burning bond that begins to take root. As monsoon skies roll above and the seasons shift, so do their hearts. Love doesn't arrive in grand gestures-it seeps in gently, through shared cups of tea, silent understanding, and the quiet promises of two people learning to walk a path they never chose, but might just learn to call home. Under the Same Sky is a tender, evocative tale of accidental beginnings and unexpected love-where two strangers become partners, parents, and perhaps... soulmates. "They weren't a fairytale-but under the same sky, they learned how to write their own." ❤️ (The chapters are edited with the help of Chatgpt) Started : 22 June, 2025 Rankings: #1 in destiny - 15.02.2026 #1 in richgirl - 24.03.2026Complete
Inayat - His Love Or Hatred
What if someone else's actions are ultimately punished, and that too in the form of a horrific punishment? This is exactly what happened to innocent Inayat, when an accident ruined her entire life and left her guilty in the eyes of her own family. Meanwhile, Ansh Malhotra, who supposedly healed people's hearts and gave them new hope, caused a lifelong pain to an innocent child because of one mistake. What exactly happened that made Inayat a criminal in the eyes of her own family, and what was the secret behind Ansh's hatred? ***** Then Ansh pushed her backwards, due to which Inayat lost her balance and fell straight on the ground. Ansh looked at Inayat and said, "Go now and do your work, otherwise I have my belt." As soon as she heard Ansh say this, her heart sank and in a very frightened voice she said to Ansh, "No, Inu is leaving." Inayat got up and went inside. Seeing her go, Ansh said to himself, "You have made a big mistake and you will be punished for it. I will make you suffer every moment, Inayat. I will break you so much that you will never be able to join yourself again."
The Chronicles Of Naina
Problems are like beams of light. Majority of them get absorbed. Some get reflected and passed on to others while some get refracted and are tweaked a little before being passed on to others. The problems that dominate our lives are the ones that perform the opposite of Total Internal Reflection - Total Absorption. Naina Singhania believes that she has the most uneventful life ever. The people she is surrounded with-not so much. Her associates make up for the lack of spice in her life or so she thought. What she doesn't realise is the drama she talks about isn't in third person. Somebody else might be bearing the brunt of it, but Naina always gets a share. Share by share, her experiences are defined. Experiences that are centred around her, that cater to her but in somebody else's background. The problems and struggles that are solely hers are stashed away in the farthest corner of her mind. Who wants to relive the non-good memories of their own lives! Naina focuses on being the perfect second character. Long conversations with friends do not include the sleepless nights to crack her college, the financial instability that subtly influenced her growing years or her impressive multi-tasking skills. They highlight other topics like her ex-crush and ex-bestfriend's relationship or her dance partner's injury one day before their show. Read on to see how Naina's life is inadvertently impacted by the chaos she is surrounded by. Afterall, her life is full of reflections and refractions.
Katha : His first love
Nahi sambhla dil mere sambhale Ise kar daala tere hawale Tu mita de ya chahe bacha le Jaa ishq pe mere chala le apni marziyan ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ It was Katha Desai's first day at her new job. She knew it would be difficult - new faces, new responsibilities, no family name to fall back on. But difficult? No. It was a tragedy. Because fate, in its full cruel glory, had other plans for her. Why? Because she met him. Her childhood frenemy. The boy who once made it his life's mission to get on her nerves, like irritating her was a full-time job. They argued like cats and dogs, drove each other crazy, but when life threw problems their way, neither ever hesitated to help the other. They cared - they just never admitted it. And now... here they were. Under the same roof. In the same office. With the same old rivalry simmering between them. But this time, there was a twist. He wasn't just any colleague. He was her boss. Reyansh Gupta. CEO. The man everyone feared to question. Known for his mood swings, his sharp tongue, and his impossible standards. No secretary lasted more than a month under him - his grumpy face and cold attitude scared them away. But Katha wasn't the type to run. She had handled his drama before - as kids. Now, it was time to handle him again - as his secretary. The only question was... would their old hate finally turn into something else? Could they survive working together... without driving each other insane?
The Bubbly Heiress of Chaos
╰┈➤ ❝No, I'm fine, I'm lying on the floor again.❞ She's a little rabbit amidst a pack of hungry wolves. A prey amidst a pack of predators. A flickering light amidst a jungle of darkness.

How does one go from being a normal 15 year old with the best family she could ask for to being the unknown daughter of a billionaire? From skipping through life like its a path of roses to finding danger in every breath she takes? From dancing to baby shark as she walked home to playing video games in a private jet? Ask anyone, they would say she is a combination of water and fire. A shimmering river that will flow in whichever way you direct her and also a blubbering stumbling fool that might or might not burn down a building if left unsupervised. In her defense the ground is 'madly in love with her' and danger is a 'clingy ex'. Welcome to the life of Palak; a carefree overthinker, a sensitive rock, a withering laughing fool. She doesn't break, but she sure as hell is covered in bruises. This is Palak. An oblivious Mafia Princess. The Bubbly Heiress of Chaos. Will she be able to keep her smile or will she end up loosing it forever?Complete
A Scandalous Affair |COMPLETE| AnuPre Fiction
#2 in PROGRESSIVE (October, 2020) #3 in OPENMINDED (October, 2020) #8 in ANUPRE (October, 2020) A re-imagination of AnuPre's star crossed love story in al alternate universe; meaning this story has no connection with the show, barring the characters, that are borrowed from there. I advise all my readers to be ready for a head snapping, jaw dropping scandalous affair within a family. These character have questionable morals, they are dark and in some cases may come across as sheer villains; there will be a hundred questions in your mind with each unfolding chapter, but trust me you will find all answers too. It is a pot boiler that will make you question so many things, it will muddle your sense of judgement and push you to think with an open non-judgmental mind. Lastly, let me tell you it is not a read for conservative folks, so if you're conservative and curious to read, please consider yourself warned. Feedback/opinions are always welcome, however character bashing is not! ;) Lastly, you can love them, you can hate them, but you cannot ignore the scandal that will unfold.Complete
