April 13th, 1919-the day acting military commander Reginald Dyer opened fire on the people gathered at the enclosed space of Jallianwala Bagh.

Saraswati is a seventeen year old whose parents died in the same massacre. She barely escapes from being killed herself with the help of a British stranger-a recruit of the Anglo-Indian army. 
Staying with him, she soon finds out that her parents were not simply the victims of a brutal killing, but had been chased and murdered for an entirely different reason.

Saraswati gradually starts to uncover these secrets and their astonishing connection to herself and the mysterious stranger.

25 parts Ongoing
Part 1 of the Matsya Ratna duology The Princess of Matsya, youngest daughter of Virat and Sudeshna, Uttaraa is a beacon of shimmering light, sprinkling stardust in the lives of others. Blessed with the ability to weave words into beautiful poems, the jingling of her anklets while she dances is a melody to hear. She is a shooting star fulfilling the vacant space in the vast sky of people's hearts. Then, the curtains of destiny unfurl, and the canvas of her life gets intertwined with Abhimanyu, the legendary son of Arjun and Subhadra, for whom his sheaf of arrows is the truest joy in the world. With delicacy on one side and determination on the other, clashing, what does the future hold for the two? Blurb credits: @Unique_as_Myself

"Do you know that during the longest and coldest nights of every year, the Gods descend on Earth and come to us like Shooting stars? To quench the never-ending thirst of mankind. For peace and love. To protect and cherish what is left of humanity. And if someday you meet one of Them, you will give Them my love, won't you?" My mother once told this to me. But now I am asking this of you. ********* Niyati Sriniketan, the ordinary girl with a tortured past: a dream that had been crushed, a soul that had been smothered and a life reduced to survival. This is a tale of Love, Loss, Laughter and Life; the story of a girl, whose biggest dream and prayer came true. But, here's the catch, will she make peace with the one thing she had forever deeply yearned for? When her life turns upside down, will she come to terms with herself and this world? Will she move past the choking snares of her past into the arms of Hope and Healing?
