"You often meet your fate on the path you take to avoid it."
He needs space. She needs to live. They're both on the same journey, but for different reasons. But is the path of running away from home really a solitary one?
***
Kabir's grown up having excelled at anything he puts his mind to, is the center of attention at his college, and has a loving family. So why does he, one night, find himself standing on a train platform, alone, clutching a hurriedly bought one-way ticket to Mumbai - the city of dreams?
Tanika is used to being overlooked by most people, including her family. So much so, that she prefers it to be this way. An argument sparks the need for a forgotten childhood adventure, and soon she's at a train station she barely recognises dragging a tiny suitcase behind her.
A chance meeting between them leads to new discoveries, and triggers the fall of fate's invisible dominoes. Exactly what surprises will this one train ride bring?

Love, Like Home
Completed Flatmates to Friends. Friends to Lovers. A slowburn love story between a tech nerd Avni and an actor Rohit who is more than 5 years younger than her. Set in ten years of time span. Cute romance. No love triangles. Found family tropes. Nice and kind charecters. South Mumbai Vibes. Avni Pathak is a tech entrepreneur who rebuilt her life and her identity from the ashes. Fiercely private and deeply introverted, she clings to her peace and quiet like a lifeline. Her awkward, deadpan charm has a way of endearing and occasionally exasperating everyone around her. She's all heart and quiet resilience, wrapped in the unassuming shell of a soft-spoken coder who just wants to be left alone (unless you're her laptop or her one plant). Rohit Avasthi is an aspiring actor with big dreams and an even bigger heart. Loud, expressive, and full of mischief, he brings joy and spontaneity wherever he goes. He's chaos in motion, wrapped in a genetically-blessed face, and somehow manages to be both a walking distraction and the safest person in the room. Avni and Rohit are flatmates, figuring out life, love, ambition, and what it means to be truly happy. Avni is the quiet anchor, steady and grounded, holding him when he soars too high too fast. Rohit is the sunshine, bright and unrelenting, warming her gently when she begins to stumble. Together, they balance each other-soft chaos meeting quiet strength-as they become friends.Complete

Well it doesn't cheat. It's cool and soothing. It's reliable." ~*~ Madhulika Thakur thought it would be a good break from work when she agreed to visit the countryside. After all, someone needed to sort out the property her family owned there, and real estate was her forte. What she didn't expect was to be engulfed by a landslide of issues just waiting to be addressed. She must navigate her way through the mess of a fragile social fabric, complex caste equations and the sheer helplessness of the people she never knew worked for her; all the while trying to regain the trust of a long-abandoned old friend. For the first time in her life, she must choose between what she wants and what is right. ~.~ Cover by @chaashneeComplete
