In the heart of a bustling city, Samayra stands at a crossroads. A dutiful daughter and a stellar student, she's the pride of her family, destined for greatness. But behind her composed exterior lies a hidden world of dreams-a cozy café brimming with warmth and love, a place where her culinary passions could flourish.
As Samayra navigates the pressures of academic excellence and her parents' sky-high expectations, she grapples with an internal battle. Her parents envision a prestigious career that would make them proud, but her heart yearns for a simpler, more fulfilling path. Torn between duty and desire, Samayra must find the courage to choose her destiny.
Just when the weight of her struggles becomes unbearable, a new ally emerges-someone who sees beyond her academic accolades and understands her true aspirations. Will this unexpected connection be the guiding light that helps Samayra break free from the darkness of others' expectations?
"The Perfect Balance" is a poignant tale of self-discovery, familial bonds, and the relentless pursuit of one's true calling. Will Samayra find the strength to follow her dreams, or will she sacrifice her happiness for the sake of tradition and honor?

INNOCENCE LOST (Rewriting)
"Forever, I had stayed silent, closed off, cut by the doldrums of family politics and societal pressures. Buried under biased judgements, I dwarfed to insignificant heights. But, inside the blaze fought to seize power-an inferno. Raging flames fuelled to perfection-burning hot with wrath, scorched by hindered expectations and smothered under unrealized dreams. Beauty and the beast reside together, working in unison. When one sleeps another awakes. Every beauty has a beast, brought alive by a trigger. I was a beauty, but then shit happened. Still, I smile. I laugh. I cook. I sew. I make love. I'm a good girl. But, good girls aren't necessarily good, it's just that they aren't bad in the traditional way. ---------------------------------------------------------- "You will get used to it...just a matter of time", her mother stated. "Every girl goes through this phase." It's easier said than done. For Sreya, the statement failed to shed a warm light, never had. And growing up in Swarupnagar, a suburb in one of the most dead corners of Kolkata didn't contribute much to the situation either. Dreams aren't bound, neither by words nor by limitations. Sreya dreamt for just one thing-get out of the system and create a life of her own. But, not every dream can be fulfilled; even worse, what if they come at a cost? What happens when your past that you skilfully camouflage haunts as your worst nightmare and the institution of marriage that people hold as sacred is rigged at the very core! Set against a backdrop of Metropolitan Kolkata, this tale of lust, ambition, addiction and revenge creates a wild concoction that is sure to leave readers' minds content, fulfilled and craving for more. ---------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: MATURE CONTENT Start date: 13/08/2021 End date: 30/9/2021Complete
