After reading books like The hate you give, Dear Martin, Moxie, Love from A to Z, Everything Everything, When dimple met Rishi, odd one out, we are ants and soo many others; I began to view the world differently. These are books that emphasize on either police brutalism, racism/discrimination, cultural appropriation, uniqueness, feminism, sexism, Desire and even alien abductions. One of the main questions in we are the ants is "if you knew the world was going to end but you had the power to stop it, would you?". The world isn't perfect, people aren't perfect but I believe in second chances, I believe that there are still some good seeds left out there and I want to believe that the world could get better. This book is about me exploring the world, reading deeper meanings into the things/ people around me and of course observing. Everything in this book is my very personal opinion/story. I guess you could say that the inspiration for my book is "Love from A to Z" by ms. S.K Ali; the marvels of existence and oddities of creation. The amazing Ms. S.K. Ali once said "maybe that's what living is - recognizing the marvels and oddities around you".

Pieces of My Universe: The Flame Who Woke Me
Pieces of My Universe Written in Multiple Perspectives · Set in the 1990s We were wild. We were lost. We were family. And none of us came out of it the same. In the vibrant chaos of the 1990s - a time lit with music, rebellion, and raw truth - Calvin, Hannah, Nina, and their crew of kindred souls form an unbreakable, found family. Each one carries shadows, secrets, and stories they don't fully understand yet. As they navigate the fire of first loves, heartbreaks, and cosmic questions, their bonds deepen - revealing profound truths about connection, identity, and the mysteries that tie us all together. Told through multiple perspectives ("God Mode"), this story lets you feel each character's inner world - the thoughts, feelings, and soul layers often left unspoken. With over 89 episodes written and a full book near completion, Pieces of My Universe is more than just a coming-of-age story. It's a lived memory. A healing scroll. And a wild ride of remembrance. I'm currently editing and rewriting for self-publishing - with lots of creative magic in store for the rollout :) Enjoy the experience. 🤗
Far From Love
Ever thought about how complicated love can be. how you keep trying and trying to not fall in love with someone you know you'd be broken but still, the damned cupid decides to strike you out of all the people he can? yes I absolutely know how that feels. but things are surely not gonna be easy for Wanda Everly Anthem as she falls in love with Flynn Jasper, a man who seems too intangible to be real, yet so so vivid of a reality to be fake. In the midst of all of this, what she seems to unnotice was the fact that her very boss , Fidelio Fonzo Florez and obviously a billionaire, plus a friend who has been taking care of her from so long she can't imagine being without that care, falls for her. So now she has absolutely no clue about what to do. Go for someone she loved deeply, or someone who loved her deeply. I promise it will be worth your precious time. plus I am hoping to make this book a trilogy or a duo at least. Also, this book is real life based, Totally my very own biography.Complete
The Backpacker's Dream
'No, he didn't'. I was so shocked by the turn of events. Everything was going fine and then suddenly boom, everything turned upside down. I just couldn't believe this. What did he think of himself? 'Leave me alone.' I said firmly but his hold on me was so strong. I was struggling to get out of his bear hold but to no avail. 'Oh!! So, the poor lady thinks that I will leave her alone and just let her go free?' He had that evil laugh and boy, his breath stank. 'Man, you just signed your death warrant and I will do one favour on you.' No one messes with me. 'Ooooh, I am so scared that I almost peed my pants.' Again that idiotic laugh. I counted till 5 and then kicked right in his balls. I turned around and grabbed his hair from roots, jerked them so badly and then gave my hard elbow shot on his chin. Everything happened so fast for one moment he was standing and the other lying on floor wiggling. I charged at him with my cheetah speed, picked up a wooden rod and started hitting him wildly, 'You idiotic stinky breath was trying to steal my backpack. You are so dead.' 'Favour, favour, favour.' He was screaming in pain just after few seconds and was panting hard. I picked my paste from my bag and threw at him, 'Brush your teeth.' I was fuming. I turned around and saw him standing wide-eyed, 'Hi, I am Scarlett.' I smiled showing my 32 teeth. 'I am scared.' His look puzzled me.

The other Stark (long) (Wanda x reader)
Just because I carry it so well doesn't mean it's not hard. I don't get to hide my bad side just so that she will stay. It's not how this world works. Especially when your a Stark and a speedster. Falling in love with someone who's lost everyone is one of the scariest things i will ever do in this world. You know why? Because there will always be the fear of losing myself to the depths of the darkness that has claimed everybody she ever loved. But in the end, it turns out. Love is worth the risk. This is the longer version with more complicated relations, more depth and more background story. DO NOT READ IF EASILY TRIGGERED TW mentioning of suicide and self harm and doing of the later. Violence and may be sexual stuff too. Some things may be triggering but I'll put out a ⚠️ at those parts. This is a really depressing story with a lot of thoughts about not existing so it I'm warning you before you read it. Don't know why it became like that but it did. I do not own any of the marvel characters except for the ones I added. Do own the plot but mentioning of movie plots. Plays out after Age of Ultron.Complete
