'Anguished Irises' is a poignant and introspective poetry collection that takes readers through Shekhar's emotional journey after his separation from Evelyn. Compiled as a journal, each verse offers a raw, unfiltered glimpse into the author's struggles as he grapples with the aftermath of loss and heartbreak. The title itself, *Anguished Irises*, carries deep significance as irises, often symbolizing hope, are now twisted with anguish, reflecting the fading of Shekhar's optimism and his numbness to life's emotional spectrum. With each poem, Shekhar invites you to explore the delicate balance between grief and healing, leaving you with a powerful meditation on the quiet strength found in vulnerability.
Anguished Irises is the second book of the Withered Roses series.

Aavya: His Only Destruction
They say, when life gives you a second chance you should live it to the fullest but I never did. Being the eldest daughter of my family, I was bound with responsibility that I never asked for. And what did I get in return? Loneliness. Do I deserve it? A hundred percent yes. Life was bearable when I was in highschool, I fell in love with a man. He was completely different from me. He used to laugh more often unlike me, help everyone, and was the diamond of everyone's eye. He loved me a lot, making sure I was safe until one day I broke him, I broke him to an edge where I assume nothing could fix him. Heartbreak is what I gave him in return for his love, care and support. I thought Vihaan Suryawanshi would change after how badly I broke every part of his soul. To my surprise, he stayed the same-except for me. He showed me how cruel he can be for the girl he once loved unconditionally. And yes, I deserve every bit of it. I shattered his heart and now those shattered pieces are piercing my soul. V I H A A N I am trying my best to cope up with everything including my life. Smiling infront of my everyone so they don't ask me what's wrong with me. I did everything possible to keep my brain busy, one of the reasons why I had to shift to another state but what I didn't knew was an encounter with the past. The past I wanted to escape was standing in front of me. More bright. Beautiful. And with lack of emotions in her eyes. Aavya Rajawat was the woman I fell in love with. The only woman who had the guts to ruin me to destroy me to an extent where I gaveup on everything. And now when she is here, it's clear I am not letting her go. I might be a sunshine for everyone but for her, I'll be a nightmare dressed in day dream.Complete

NOTHING absolutely nothing can beat best friends to lovers, the angst? unmatched. the longing? heart breaking. the history? the jealousy? it's always been you? you're my favorite person? i know you better than anyone else? nah enemies to lovers could NEVER _________________________________ Iris spent sixteen years in love, believing in forever-until a single message shattered her world. The boy she grew up with, the one she called home, not only abandoned her but made sure she felt every ounce of his betrayal. With no family to turn to and grief consuming her, she saw only one escape. No reason to keep breathing. That night, silence stretched too long. Her best friend, Ivan, knew something was wrong. He had loved her from the moment they met, but nothing could have prepared him for what he found. Blood. A fading pulse. A girl who had given up. But was he too late? As he picks up the broken pieces of the girl he's always wanted, she begins to heal. Slowly, she starts to feel again. But is it love-or just the desperate need to hold on to the only one who stayed? A story of heartbreak, healing, and the fine line between love and loneliness.
