SEQUEL TO DID YOU GET YOUR PERIOD?


Shouldn't you be brimming with confidence after graduation? Armed with a degree in History, her high school love story still strong, camera roll filled with boomerangs and an insatiable appetite for Schezwan Maggie- why is this spunky desi girl feeling more lost than ever?

***

The façade of "college life" that Karan Johar movies have promised you shatters within the first week of university. An extravagant Bollywood marketing gimmick. 

After three tumultuous years at college, it's time to face the real world. But what if you're not ready?

Having convinced her mother to let her take an unconventional gap year, she's back at her home town.  What was supposed to be a year of de-stressing; slowly begins unfolding to be everything but that.

A sarcastic boy in a wheelchair, blue-haired yoga teachers, an absentee boyfriend and periods that happen four times a year- seem like a lot for a twenty-one year old to deal with. Throw into the mix a mother who won't stop hinting about UPSC examinations, a sister dropping bombshells and some very strange Gmail notifications. This nuclear Indian family has a lot to deal with!

Shweta is learning how to answer some difficult questions this time. 

Who was the eighth Prime Minister of India? Will moon bathing help her menstrual cycle? And quite importantly, is love just a marketing gimmick too?All Rights Reserved

Crossing The i's And Dotting The t's by TripuWrites

It may feel good to be pretty, but the problem with being beautiful is that there are thousands of people who look like you. Ugliness, however, is unique. ------------------- One girl, a walking-talking example of contradictions -- ambitious but naive, kind but blunt, social but awkward -- is living in perhaps the most competitive society in this world. She has a dream, a fairly conventional and acceptable dream, one which every parent would approve of. Unfortunately, millions of others share this dream, and in order to fulfill hers, she has to eliminate her competition, literally. Throw in a fair share of drama. Friends and family, crushes and exes, decisions and choices, and the life story of an Indian teenager would be complete. ---------------------- The last few years of school are the most memorable; grades, stress and career mixed with friends, fun and dreams. But most of the time when we are planning our awesome candid picture-perfect life, we end up crossing the 'i's and dotting the 't's. ------------------------------------ COMPLETED ON JULY 14, 2018 Featured in the teen fiction reading list of Wattpad India!

THE GAMES WE PLAY by godbetterloveme

I was not a studious girl when I was forced into medical field because of my father who always expected the best from me. I didn't realize becoming doctor became so dear to me that it turned into a passion instead of a escape from my broken family and that's when I saw him again.. He made my heart beat a little faster but broke it just as everyone did and left me 5 years ago without any warning and stormed back in my life without one too. It was decided that i won't let him ruin me again but chip by chip the walls of my heart fell away seeing his efforts and that Infuritaingly handsome face. Should I let him in my life giving him a chance to prove himself? Or stick to the stereotype of "all men are same"? " I loved you" She whispers, the hand I'm holding cold against my skin. I stroke the skin with my thumb once, trying to get her eyes on me and then she looks at me. Hurt eyes look at me and in that moment I wanted her to look away because of the hurt evident in her eyes. After 4 years, seven days and something hours, she finally looked at me. "I know." I whisper back. "You still left me alone to fend for myself." My grip tightens on her hand. "I know. But I want to make things right. Do you think you can give me one chance?. " Ps: this story is of Isha mehra, sister of ishan, the main lead of my previous story, the setting of both the books is completely different and they are not interconnected. But if you want to have a better sense of characters that might be same as the previous book, you should read that first and then continue with this. But it can also be read as a standalone. Thank you for reading till here. Happy reading<3

The Dance Of Destiny by shewhowriteslove

"If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were." ♡ Almost all of us have fallen for someone in the tender years of life. They are purest love stories, where emotions intertwine with innocence. A few make it through those stories, but many get their heart broken, savoring that first bittersweet sip of love and heartache. Some confess their feelings, and get their heart broken. Others hold back, feeling the same ache in silence. Time split some apart; some are pulled away by destiny. But how many of us get the chance to reunite with them and rewrite that story? Well, Sharvi Kashyap and Parth Sharawat did. Sharvi and Parth, having fallen in love at the age of 13, never shared their feelings and were eventually torn apart by destiny. Now, belonging to two different worlds, where one has patiently awaited true love while the other has borne the scars of a tumultuous past relationship, they have given up on all hopes of a reunion. However, destiny has some other plans, as it orchestrates a serendipitous reunion, giving them a chance to rekindle their love. But the journey to love is not easy because lingering beneath are concealed burdens and hints of past torments. There are scars etched deep, and there is a reluctance that shadows the prospects of rekindling love, leaving their future uncertain. Will they overcome obstacles, creating a timeless tale? Or will their love remain unfinished, leaving echoes of what could have been?
