He was once a creator. Now he's just a machine.
Aarav Sen, 20-something and quietly brilliant, lands his dream job at a rising creative studio in Hyderabad. Three years later, he's the Managing Director of Reynaud Labs - successful on paper, burnt out in reality.
One sleepless night, an old hard drive from his teenage years unearths forgotten footage, old scripts, and a version of himself he no longer recognizes.
As the weight of deadlines, expectations, and disconnects from his roots finally cracks him open, Aarav sends a single email that changes everything: a sabbatical.
Me, My Camera and My Best Friend is a deeply personal novel about losing your voice in a world that rewards silence - and what it takes to create something real again.
Sometimes the first step forward is a rewind.

Branded By You
[On Hiatus, will be back soon] Aarav Verma is 32, a soft-spoken marketing professor with a quiet charm that sneaks up on you. At 6 feet tall with a sharp gaze behind his glasses, Aarav lives a life driven by discipline, stability, and purpose. When he's not teaching at Delhi University, he freelances as a marketing consultant-every rupee going towards paying off family loans and securing a better future for his parents. Love? He doesn't have time for it. Aarav believes marriage is something he'll think about later-maybe in two or three years, and most likely through his parents. No distractions, no complications, just a life that makes sense. Misha Kapoor is 25, the fiercely independent CEO of a rising fashion brand, with ambition stitched into every thread of her identity. She walks into boardrooms in her signature stylish formals, always five steps ahead of the industry and ten steps ahead of anyone who doubts her. She's confident, bold, and unapologetically herself. But beneath the business brilliance is a young woman who still believes in love-the kind that finds you in the unlikeliest places and refuses to let go. She's not looking for a relationship right now-but she's never stopped believing in the idea of something real. When their paths collide-through a consulting deal neither of them fully wants-the lines blur. He's methodical. She's impulsive. He avoids mess. She thrives in it. And neither of them expects the tension brewing beneath their arguments, the glances they can't ignore, or the connection they weren't ready for.

Nasaza
Aadesh was expecting a soft romance. The one which he read about in books, the one which swept him off his feet and made him feel alive. The one that took his breath away. Instead, the new boy at school finds that his classmate was emotionally sponsored by Gotham city. His little devil did have the ability to take his breath away. Literally. The girl with the secrets she so desperately tries to hide. The girl with the blade she holds so lovingly against his neck. The girl who's blood spills as if it has a mind of its own, trying to lead astray the curious into forests with dangers she's curated herself.' He didn't want to be in her life, not with her secretive, psychopathic tendencies. Not with his heart beating out of his chest for reasons he couldn't fathom. But somehow, he was. And came with her the dream package. The guy who jokes like nothing matters, patches people up while inventing new expletives, and somehow always ends up right in the middle of things he claims he doesn't care about. The boy who believes in doing the "right thing," even when it's messy, inconvenient, and emotionally expensive, and still stands his ground like it's a personal religion. And that one doll. Soft edges and controlled silence, like satin wrapped around something sharp. She doesn't raise her voice, she doesn't need to. She moves people without them noticing they've been moved, leaves questions instead of answers, and somehow always stays just outside the reach of certainty. Aadesh Malhotra was expecting he'd live a normal life. But curiosity did kill the cat. (or that one time when wannabe golden retriever detective fell for the girl who could make 'good morning' sound mildly threatening.)

The boy who crushed her heart... and now, the CEO who might just steal it again. Aarav isn't the same teenager anymore. He's smooth, successful, and hiding the truth: He never hated her.

Between Words And Whispers ✓
They met in the most ordinary way - two strangers in crowded corridors of Delhi University. But somewhere between shared coffees, quiet walks, and the space between words, something extraordinary began. Aarav Mehta - calm, guarded, the boy who hides his emotions behind soft smiles and grey hoodies. Shree Nair - gentle, overthinking, the girl who finds comfort in rainy evenings and unspoken feelings. He's never known how to fall in love. She's never believed someone would stay. Yet somehow, they find home in each other - in glances that linger, in texts left unsent, in the silence that says everything. But love isn't always loud. Sometimes, it's the quietest thing in the room - the kind that sneaks up on you, changes you, and stays long after the world stops watching. #CollegeLove #SlowBurn #IndianRomance #WattpadLoveStory #EmotionalRomance #DelhiUniversity #FirstLove #SoftBoyEnergy #ComfortCoupleComplete
