The novel, Letter to My Daughter, is a heartfelt, introspective journey of a father writing to his young daughter, sharing the lessons he's learned through his own struggles, missteps, and moments of redemption. Set against the backdrop of his turbulent college years and the dynamic cities of Delhi and Mumbai, the story reveals the father's transformative journey, marked by powerful relationships, personal failures, and his quest for meaning and love.
As the father reflects on pivotal events-his complex relationships, his reckless ambitions, and his evolving connection with Nancy, the love of his life-he distills these experiences into life lessons for his daughter. Each chapter unravels another phase of his life, where moments of joy and heartbreak intertwine with themes of resilience, personal accountability, and the pursuit of redemption. Through candid admissions and touching confessions, he shares the wisdom he hopes will guide her, including the values of kindness, financial responsibility, discipline, forgiveness, and true love.
In a powerful shift, the novel dives into the father's eventual reunion with Nancy, leading to marriage and the joyful yet challenging journey of impending parenthood. The arrival of his daughter brings a renewed purpose, one that drives him to work tirelessly and set aside pride to build a stable life for her. This deeply personal narrative of fatherhood, love, sacrifice, and redemption is both a tribute to his daughter and a reflection on the profound ways in which love can transform a person. Letter to My Daughter is a beautifully woven story about the unbreakable bond between a parent and child, underscored by timeless life lessons that speak to resilience, hope, and the enduring power of family.

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?.

Fated Under The Dark Sky
This is my first book... :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friends, love, hope and dreams are the four pillars of teenage. While they mold the life for better for most of us, it was nothing less than a nightmare for her. She, who thought was cursed and shouldn't even have existed. She, who was named a devil; whose past hovered above her, burdened her and haunted her each time she thought of living a normal life. When having a boyfriend was as normal as breathing for her friends, it was something abstract for her; unrealistic, out of her league. Thus, plastering a smile on her face, veiling her dreadful existence, she quietly lived; existed. She, who desperately tried to hide her secret, once dared to swim against the current, proposed her first crush in high school and got stabbed by that same person. The person whom she loved, trusted. When her first crush publicly degraded her, broadcasting her past to the entire school; something died within her. Her hope. To love and to live a normal life. She was broken - beyond repair. After she moved to her new life in London, she thought she had left everything behind in India, only until she met him. ------------ Copyright © Radhika Acharya All rights to this book are reserved *** Do not copy my work.

An Unexpected Love Story ✅
Maithili has always lived life on her own terms. A fierce, independent woman, she refuses to bow down to societal pressures-even when her mother insists on her marriage. If she's going to marry, it will be on her conditions. No compromises. No settling. Abhi Ram, a devoted single father, has built his world around his three-year-old daughter, Myra. Love, romance, and marriage were never on his priority list-until Maithili walks into his life, turning his carefully structured world upside down. When Maithili and Abhi Ram are brought together by fate (or perhaps by meddling families), their worlds collide in a whirlwind of tension and uncertainty. Two opposites, bound by fate yet divided by their differences. Will Abhi Ram accept Maithili's bold conditions, or will his pride stand in the way? Can she embrace a life where she is not the only priority? Will their bond remain a mere friendship, or will love sneak into the equation? Can Maithili adjust to the challenges of becoming an instant stepmother to Myra, or will her desire for independence push them apart? As they spend more time together, lines blur, and emotions simmer beneath the surface. But just as they start to find common ground, secrets from Abhi Ram's past threaten to unravel everything. In this journey of emotions, choices, and unexpected connections, destiny has its own plans. But will they surrender to it? Or will their differences pull them apart? "An unexpected love story where an arranged marriage transforms into passionate affection, is a heartwarming tale of love, commitment, and the fine line between companionship and something deeper."Complete
The Birlas' - IKSHANA
This is Part - 1 of a story that traces the life and journey of Dr.Abhimanyu Birla and his family through different situations that life forces on them. It's a story about healing, it's a story about trauma and different people react to trauma differently. It is a story about a single father and his parenting. It's about a family that has been through hell yet stuck to each other. This can be classified as a fanfiction (Just for character names) but it can be read as a stand alone series, which has multiple books. Hence, I marked it as General Fiction. Secrets, promises, heart breaks and betrayals spice up this slow burn family drama which has its heart in the love, emotions and bonds shared by the family members. Their resilience and the will to put up a strong front to the world outside while addressing internal turmoil is the soul of the story. It can be read without having to know anything about the show or the source of inspiration....Kindly treat it as a General Fiction.Complete
