Lila Yadhavar and Nikhil Shah are Indian-Americans from dominantly Caucasian schools located in Virginia and San Francisco, respectively. The only thing that's different between them is that Lila struggles to fit in with this society, and for Nikhil, a.k.a. Nick, it was a piece of naan. When they both enroll into Stanford University, they find themselves introduced to a large, robust, non-assimilated South Asian student community. The two meet and discover the world of fusing two contrasting cultures while learning more about themselves.

The Weight of Silence-- A spin-off of Keeping Promises(COMPLETED) by kahani1
34 parts Complete
Some stories begin with fireworks. This one begins with silence. Not the kind that comforts. The kind that echoes through the spaces people leave behind- through empty hallways, unread messages, unanswered calls, and the quiet ache of things unsaid. Rohan Kapoor was a man shaped by that silence. A tenured Stanford professor of ethics and behavioral economics, he believed in rationality, discipline, precision. He lived behind walls built brick by brick from heartbreaks he never let the world see. Grief turned him clinical. Abandonment made him orderly. And love- he left that behind long ago. Lyra Wang never asked for softness. Raised in a small, chaotic immigrant household where love meant sacrifice and ambition meant survival, she learned early that emotion was a luxury. And vulnerability? A danger. A prodigy in statistical economics, Lyra believed in the logic of markets, not the mess of hearts. But life doesn't always follow theory. When Lyra arrives at Stanford for her postdoctoral fellowship, their worlds collide-fierce minds, opposing ideologies, guarded souls bound by buried wounds. What begins as friction shifts into tension-then something neither of them expected. In the hush between words, in late-night coffee and quiet glances, in anger and comfort, longing and restraint- they begin to unravel. The Weight of Silence is a story of two people who speak different languages of pain but somehow understand each other anyway. It's about loss. And healing. About holding on. And letting go. And how, sometimes, the most beautiful things bloom in the silence we've been running from all our lives.
