Author's note:
Hey there folks! This book is very special to me, as you can imagine. I started writing it after I lost my grandfather to a series of sudden heart attacks. The book is about stealing your life away when all it has done is slip away from you. It starts off a little sad and slow, yes, but soon enough it'll take you on an emotional ride you'd love with all your heart. If you're wondering what kind of person would love this book, let me ask you something.
Have you ever lost someone you loved dearly?
Have you ever dreamt of a final vacation with your best friend before you die?
Have you suffered from mental health issues and been abused in your life?
Have you ever thought what it would be like to finally let go of all the crap in your life and go live in the mountains?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then this book is for you!
It might not seem like it immediately but it is. I promise. I'll update almost every day since I'm looking to participate in a few contests so you can have a new chapter every day! So what are you waiting for? Let's dive in!

With Someone Like Me
Love. Something that I've always believed in. Something my mom taught me is the most beautiful, precious thing in the world. Some people say gives your life a purpose, and some say it completes you. Some say it's beautiful, some say it's pain. But for me it's her. She's love. She's the only meaning of love I've ever known, Anaaya. I love her the way I've never thought it's possible, and I love every tiny thing about her I didn't know I'd love and I've lost count. And I still can't call her mine, but I knew since the beginning. I am hers. Only hers, more than I belonged to myself, I belonged to her. But here I am in the darkness of night, under the stars, as they witness her turning her back on me and walking away leaving me in this darkness where I couldn't find myself without her. Every drop of her tear burnt me into ashes, every ounce of her pain killed me a million times, I no longer know how many times I died seeing her hurt. Her dark eyes, the mirror of the night sky. No longer held the twinkle of the brightest stars. It was just darkness now thats surrounding me. I've lost her. My Anaaya. And standing here with a stray tear, I wonder... will she ever love someone like me. ******************* Love is pain, but it's also beautiful. And you cannot forget your first love.

Two souls, two lives, two extremes of existence She was mischief wrapped in sweetness, The girl who painted every hallway of the school with her brightness, The one whose giggles were remembered long after the day ended. People said she was the kind of joy you don't forget, The kind of light that even shadows bowed to. He was the enigma, the untouchable, The boy with cold eyes and a sharper tongue, The one every heart ached for, yet feared to reach. He was the thrill no one dared to claim, The heartbreak every girl still dreamt of. And then- Their worlds collided. Not in a planned, gentle way, But like fire meeting ice, Like destiny laughing at its own script. They fought, they teased, they resisted. But love? Love was merciless. It crept in, slow and stubborn, Until even the storm softened for the sunshine, And even the sunshine found her calm in the storm. For a moment in time, It felt like the world had bent its rules. They weren't two people anymore- They were one soul in two bodies, Breathing the same ache, Dreaming the same dream. But the world... The world doesn't forgive such lovers. It doesn't allow opposites to stay stitched together. History had warned them- Radha and Krishna loved, But they were never allowed a forever. And history repeated itself. He walked away. Just like Krishna had walked away once upon a time, Silent, merciless, leaving behind only memories. And she became Radha once more, Living not with him, But with the ghost of him, With the fragrance of a love That was too pure to survive this world. Ruhanika, the girl everyone adored, Now carried a smile stitched with pain. Hridav, the boy who owned every heart, Now lived as if untouched, unbroken- But somewhere, somewhere in his silence, He still carried her name. Because some stories don't have a happily ever after. Because some stories aren't written to be completed. Because some love is so eternal, It was never meant for this lifetime. #1 in goel #1 in adhuri #1 in kahaniComplete
His Serenity
It's a multi-couple book. It has humour, comedy and found family. Tropes- He fell first and harder. Shivbhakt x shivbhakt Frenemies to lovers. Healed what he never broke. Grumpy x sunshine (only it's reversed) Slow burn. Brother's best friend ------------------✨💕 Bulbul? Yes, Mr. Rai? ------------------✨💕 "Don't shut me out shivanya please, please tell me what's happening." Said Vihaan Raichand. "Nothing is wrong with me, you need to leave right now" My voice trembles as I struggle to get the words out. "Come on, you don't need to do this. Just tell me what's wrong and I can help you" he said, his eyes pleading as they dart across mine. "No one can help me vihaan, I'm too broken" I said, unshed tears springing in my eyes and I blinked furiously. His hand darts towards me and I stop him, raising my hand. I whirled around suddenly, hearing footsteps behind me "You need to leave before someone sees you" I say with much difficulty. His eyes are begging to stay but I can't let him, I take a step back and force him to leave before someone sees him.

Krishna's Dimension (Ft.21st Century)
Imagine walking alone at dawn, the soft whispers of leaves and the distant melody of birds surrounding me. Their rhythm feels strangely familiar, almost as if nature itself is sending me messages from Him-Krishna. But today, something is different. His presence isn't just in my thoughts-it's everywhere, like He's calling me. Without knowing why, my steps lead me far from home, to an ancient, hidden temple in middle of the forest. Inside, the air is thick with mystery, and in the shadows stands a statue of Him-Shyam, more breathtaking than anything I've ever dreamed. As I move closer, my heart races, my legs tremble, but I can't stop. Then, suddenly, I hear His voice. "Who are you talking to? I'm right here..." I turn around, and there He is-not as a distant deity, but standing before me in human form. His eyes are playful, His presence both enchanting and overwhelming. But then, He shakes my very soul with a challenge-an impossible bet. "Come with me to my time. Live with me, prove that you can take care for me there.... And if you succeed, I will stay with you... in the 21st century." One choice.... One journey that could change everything. Can I dare to step into His world, walk beside Him in the realm of his dimension and legends? And what happens when the divine crosses into the modern world?....

MY ENDLESS LOVE FOR YOU.
Prithvi Raj Sooryavanshi was aware of many things in his life. His physical appearance of six four height, raspy voice, and the long scar across the left side of his face made people wary of him. Unapproachable. His rough childhood was always going to be a constant shadow even if he was the heir of a billionaire financial company. His relationship with his father wasn't ever going to be amicable. Not after his mother's untimely death. B-5 was the only source of strength in his life. A permanent part of his life. No matter what. And there was someone, he knew would wreck his life in both good and bad ways. He took pride in being patient among his group but there was someone who could break his restraint with a snap of the fingers. Jo for everyone. For him- Jyothika Nair. 'His Talab.' {His Quest} None of her qualities would categorize her as a typical girl. Short tempered strong rational thinker to the point where everyone around her wants to pull their hair than cross-question her. She was right to use her brain over her heart. At least that was her belief. The easiest way to get a reaction was to challenge her. The tough environment in her personal life pushed her to give up tenderness of any sort. Head-on personality with a fragile heart hidden from everyone. Except one. Prithvi for everyone. For her, he was Raj. 'Her Yaaram.' {Her Beloved} His intense gaze would shred her façade before she could avert her eyes. There was captivating intimacy in their simple, teasing touches and playful banters. A longing, an unfathomable thirst of years waiting to be quenched. Best Friends for over a decade, secret lovers for years, yet no single progress in their relationship. Until destiny takes the matter into their hands. Can love conquer all, or will the huddles of life derail their fledgling romance? A journey to find the balance of strength and vulnerability in a relationship. They denied love again and again. Love stormed its way to turn into their boon and baneComplete

Forever : The Cream Sweater | COMPLETED | Part 1
The story is complete. If you are searching for something which is not just romance, but emotions and a lot of drama, this is the right book for you. I'm attempting to write something unconventional, exploring not just the love life of these characters, but their history, their family and their bond together. ***** He took a seat by the kitchen counter. With the cream coloured shirt on, he looked so much like, like he belonged here. Like, he was all, mine. I could stand by the kitchen counter and stare at him forever. How cute and innocent he looks. How can I not be selfish when it comes to such a lovely balloon of happiness. How can I let him go for Tara? I can't. I simply can't. I served the dinner on two plates and we sat down eating. Every now and then, I kept looking at Abhaas. He's as much a friend to Tara as he's to me, maybe a little more than a friend to me but he's also a friend who wishes to help her. I'm being the low, loathsome nasty human being that is keeping him all to myself while he can go out to help her. How selfish am I? He's this precious jewel that I'm keeping captive. He's the golden bird in the cage of my friendship. I have no right to take away his right to fly. He should go out, see more trees, play with more flowers, maybe soar high in the sky to reach the stars, his star, his Tara. Sunshine is something he doesn't need, he doesn't need Ahana. He needs, night... darkness. Darkness that illuminates numerous stars that are awaiting his presence. A faint voice fell on my ears as Abhaas side hugged me. It's late, he's going back home. He left the house, the house of first ray of sunshine, to welcome the night, the darkness, the absence of sunlight. Do read my book Forever: The cream sweaterComplete
