Swish had everything he once dreamed of: a career in Bangalore with a title that carried weight, a life that many would envy, and accomplishments that marked years of grit and ambition. But beneath the success lies a quiet, lingering question: Is this enough?

In this introspective journey, Swish retraces the steps that led him here-the sleepless nights, the pivotal choices, the sacrifices that defined his path. Through the lens of his journal, Swish revisits both the victories and the pieces of himself that may have been left behind. As he searches for meaning in his achievements and confronts the dreams that faded along the way, he discovers that success may not be as loud as he once imagined.

A story of pride, introspection, and a bittersweet reflection on ambition, The Journey of Swish is a raw, honest look at the delicate balance between dreams and reality

11 parts Ongoing Mature
New Girl in The City - A Journey Through Mumbai's Chaos and Dreams Dimple has always dreamed of Mumbai-the city that never sleeps, where ambition fills the air, and where dreams flicker like city lights against the night sky. Fresh out of college, she leaves behind the comfort of Kolkata, her heart racing with anticipation as she steps onto the platform of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. Mumbai isn't just a city; it's a whirlwind. The rush of people moving like ocean waves, the scent of street food curling through the air, the towering skyline that seems to whisper promises of success. But reality hits fast. A tiny one-room space becomes her home, the endless rhythm of the local trains becomes her clock, and the city's relentless pace tests her at every turn. As she stumbles through unfamiliar streets, forges new friendships, and fights for a place in the world she has always admired from afar, she begins to understand that Mumbai is not just a dream-it is a challenge. A test of patience, courage, and self-discovery. Will the city embrace her, or will it break her spirit? Can she keep up with its pace, or will she be left behind? And in the pursuit of belonging, will she lose a part of herself-or find the person she was always meant to be? What do you think? Is Mumbai truly the city of dreams, or a mirage we all chase?

Some love stories are meant to be simple, but theirs was anything but. Sol never imagined that love could be something he would dread-until he crossed paths with Ember. She embodied warmth and fire, a sanctuary and a tempest, and he found himself captivated by her like a melody he never wanted to end. However, love was a concept Ember had long abandoned. The scars of her past had left her too wary to trust, too hesitant to hope. As their lives intertwine, they discover comfort in one another, yet the very bond that unites them also threatens to tear them apart. Friendships fracture, fears emerge, and the silence of unspoken words becomes a heavy burden of regret. When the shadows of the past finally close in, they must confront a question neither is prepared to answer: What could this be, between you and me? A profoundly emotional and strikingly honest journey of love, loss, and self-discovery, What Could This Be, Between You and Me? is not merely a tale of falling in love-it's about learning to fight for it.

No Strings? Too Late by heresurColdwiwi
8 parts Ongoing
One glance. One moment. One obsession.💋 Oh, baby, this is dark, obsessive romance with a touch of dangerous attraction. No fairytales, no magic-just pure, raw, intoxicating tension between two people who should've never crossed paths. It's the kind of story where love isn't soft-it's reckless. Inevitable. F*cking consuming. Where a man like Reyaansh, who never loses, finally meets his match in a woman who refuses to play his game. It's romance, but not the sweet kind. It's possession, power plays, stolen glances, and breathless moments that leave you ruined. She wants to stay unbothered? Too late. She wants to keep her distance? Too late. She wants to pretend like she doesn't feel this pull? Way too f*cking late. Because the man who never loses just made it his mission to make her his. And this time? No strings aren't an option.

Previous Title : Tum Jo Nahi Toh Kuch Bhi Nahi --- He sat emotionlessly, his gaze filled with anger as he looked at her. She met his eyes, confused and unable to decipher what was going on in his mind. The mantras echoed around them, the ceremony unfolding in slow motion. He went through the motions, following the priest's instructions, but his mind was far away, lost in a storm of resentment. "I can't believe you did this," he seethed inwardly. "I thought you were different, someone who could understand me, but I was wrong. I wanted to marry her, to build a life with her, but you destroyed everything. How could you stoop so low? She asked me to marry you for the sake of my family, for my father's happiness, but I can't. I will never marry someone like you." Suddenly, he stood up in the middle of the ceremony, his voice cutting through the mantras. "I can't go through with this marriage," he declared, leaving her shocked. ... She cried silently, trapped in her helplessness as he accused her of a betrayal she had never committed. All she had ever done was love him-deeply, unwaveringly. And that, she realized, was the gravest mistake of her life. Yet, despite the pain, she couldn't bring herself to hate him; her love for him was too profound. Join her on a journey where love speaks not in words but in silence. Discover how she finally receives the love she deserves, all without uttering a single word. For though she was mute, her eyes spoke volumes, revealing the depths of her heart. _________________________________ #1 Indianlovestory on 5.10.20 WINNER:- * Ist position YOURS CHOICE AWARDS * 2nd position in INFINITY AWARDS (Reader's choice) * Best emotional story in SWASAN FAMILY AWARDS ( 2nd ) * SWASAN NEWBIE AWARDS (consolation prize). _________________________________
