Salim and Kayal #Watty's 2016 # YourStoryIndia #ProjectWomanUp
This is the story of Salim and Kayal. They are from Tamil Nadu, India and they meet in Delhi. This is a romance story but I have tried to talk about our culture, people, politics, food and traditions through this story. Enjoy how two people who fall in love with each other, try to balance their principles, family and love in their lives. This is not a fairy tale of a blushing girl and a Prince Charming. I have tried to create a story as realistic as possible but at the same time I have made sure that my readers would smile at the end of every chapter. LOVE DOES EXIST. The main character is a Muslim. But, you can enjoy this book even if you are not a Muslim. I have attached Glossary and reference as the second last chapter. So, if you have any doubts about the terms used, please check it out. Best Rank till now - Number 8 in Spiritual on 19th of August, 2016 Content warning - Slightly mature content in few chapters. (Don't worry I will warn you at the beginning of the chapter). No Graphic Description. P.S. If you are expecting a South Indian story of forced marriage to a cousin, then sorry my book is not for you. My characters are thinking, matured and independent adults. If you have a fair knowledge about Indian Geography, Tamil Nadu and Politics directly skip to fourth chapter from where both the main characters meet.Complete

Fated Under The Dark Sky
This is my first book... :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friends, love, hope and dreams are the four pillars of teenage. While they mold the life for better for most of us, it was nothing less than a nightmare for her. She, who thought was cursed and shouldn't even have existed. She, who was named a devil; whose past hovered above her, burdened her and haunted her each time she thought of living a normal life. When having a boyfriend was as normal as breathing for her friends, it was something abstract for her; unrealistic, out of her league. Thus, plastering a smile on her face, veiling her dreadful existence, she quietly lived; existed. She, who desperately tried to hide her secret, once dared to swim against the current, proposed her first crush in high school and got stabbed by that same person. The person whom she loved, trusted. When her first crush publicly degraded her, broadcasting her past to the entire school; something died within her. Her hope. To love and to live a normal life. She was broken - beyond repair. After she moved to her new life in London, she thought she had left everything behind in India, only until she met him. ------------ Copyright © Radhika Acharya All rights to this book are reserved *** Do not copy my work.
