Description:
A Distant Light is a poignant and inspiring tale of resilience, love, and the enduring pursuit of dreams against all odds. This moving novel follows the journey of Bibek Pangeni, a brilliant Nepali astrophysics student who leaves his homeland to pursue a PhD in the United States. Fueled by an unrelenting passion for unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos, Bibek faces profound challenges-from cultural and financial hardships to a devastating diagnosis of third-stage glioma.

At the heart of the story is the unbreakable bond between Bibek and his wife, Mira, who sacrifices her own aspirations to support him on his journey. Together, they navigate the trials of life abroad, leaning on their tight-knit Nepali community and the friendships they forge with people from different walks of life.

As Bibek confronts his illness, he finds solace and purpose in mentoring a young cancer patient and channeling his dwindling energy into groundbreaking research on cosmic rays. His insights into the universe inspire those around him, transcending the boundaries of science to touch on the beauty and fragility of life itself.

After Bibek's untimely passing, his legacy lives on through the publication of his research and Mira's creation of a foundation to support international students in need. The story's themes of perseverance, compassion, and the universal search for meaning resonate deeply, leaving readers with a sense of hope and wonder.

With its richly drawn characters and evocative prose, A Distant Light illuminates the strength of the human spirit and the infinite ways one life can leave a lasting impact. It is a testament to the power of love, the pursuit of knowledge, and the enduring connection between the earth and the stars.All Rights Reserved

My Ex - Crush by thefadedwhite

"I wish I had never met you!" Deepika's voice echoed across the classroom, each word a dagger to my heart. "Excellent! At least we finally agree on something!" I fired back, even as a tear betrayed the storm of emotions within me. With those final, stinging words, Deepika stormed out, leaving a heavy silence in her wake. The classroom felt like a graveyard, and I stood there, rooted to the spot, desperately wishing I could chase after her and demand the truth. Maybe letting her go was the right choice. Perhaps this is meant to be my unfinished love story, a tale of what-ifs and almosts... ✨ No Deepika. This can't be his bike. Not Arjun's. But I couldn't deny what I saw-the familiar brown Royal Enfield, now twisted and crushed. My heart hammered as I circled around, hoping, praying it wasn't true, until my gaze landed on the number plate: TN56 0809. Arjun's bike. Deepika! Stop imagining things! Arjun would be fine! I felt the world shift, the noise around me blurring into a single, deafening hum. Ambulance and police sirens echoed, and a stranger's voice broke through: "Two boys. Spot dead. College students." I clutched my chest, gasping for air as reality slammed into me. "Arjun..." I whispered, barely holding myself together. Tears stung my face as I sank beside the wreck. "No, Please, No!" My voice cracked as the weight of regret settled in, suffocating me. ✨ Ex-Crush: More than just a crush, but a little less than love. ✨ Arjun and Deepika were hopelessly in love-only they never realized it. Will they find their way to each other, or will their love story remain forever unfinished? ✨ Join Arjun and Deepika on a journey back to those dreamy college days-days where every moment felt eternal, love was unspoken yet ever present, where friendship bloomed like wildflowers, offering a sanctuary from the harsh winds of reality. Come, wander with them through the corridors of college days, where the echoes of laughter still linger.

But her first night out in the city collided with fate in a way she hadn't expected. In the dim light of a bustling bar, she spotted Maxine, her Maxine, now a hardened detective with a steely gaze and a heart as cold as the gun at her hip. She barely acknowledged A'ishah, her tone clipped, her eyes guarded. Any trace of the warmth they'd once shared was buried under layers of detachment, leaving A'ishah's heart hollow yet yearning. But as cases forced them to cross paths, the tension simmered between them, sparkling embers of a love neither could bury. Now, as shadows from their past creep back, A'ishah and Maxine must confront their buried feelings and survive a danger that's closer than they think. Blood-soaked letters surfaced, each message more chilling, with threats that tied directly to the painful memories they'd tried to forget.
