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.

Aarav Banerjee is a mystery wrapped in silence. He speaks only when necessary, yet when he does, everyone listens. He's not popular, but everyone knows him. He's just joined junior college, though not very thrilled about it. He's not quiet, just carefully concealed behind a mask-one that Aastha Sethi is desperate to unravel. Aastha is as average as they come-or so people think. A hopeless romantic with a love for pink, Taylor Swift, and fairytale endings, she's just starting college, still figuring out where she fits. She never gave Aarav a second thought. And he never spared her a glance. But fate has other plans. When they're paired for a project, their worlds collide, and suddenly, the lines between indifference and curiosity begin to blur. He's not who she thought he was. She's not as predictable as he assumed. They're just classmates. Nothing more.

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.

Now successful, graceful, untouchable-Meher returns to the city she once ran from, only to find herself working across the same man who once held her heart like it was made of glass...

Ishq: A Never Ending Love story
"I love you..." I whispered, mustering every ounce of courage. He stood before me, silent-his eyes clouded with confusion... or was it sorrow? We were alone on the empty road, under a moonlit sky. But his face held no joy. Did he not love me? Then why he make me feel in that way. "I love you, Triple S..." My voice trembled as tears blurred my vision. "Stop it," he said, his voice heavy. With a sigh, he turned away, walking off into the night. "I really love you!" I shouted, desperate. "I swear, I'll never leave you... not even after death!" . ........⭐........ Ishq: A Never Ending Love Story College was supposed to be about bunking classes, late-night Maggi, and maybe... a few harmless crushes. Not about falling for the guy who looked like he belonged to another world - one where laughter had long faded and memories were locked away. She was chaos in sneakers - a first-year with too much energy and a smile that could light up storms. He was silence in human form - a final-year mystery, always at the back of the class, always alone. They weren't meant to cross paths. But then again, love never asks for permission. Aashi is hiding something. A secret that could erase everything. And Shreyansh? He's already lost too much to risk feeling again. But what happens when she starts forgetting... and he starts remembering everything they built? This isn't just a love story. It's a war between memory and emotion. Between holding on... and letting go. Seven stages. One unforgettable journey. Some loves don't need forever - just the right moments. Read Ishq - because some stories live on... even when people forget

GIRL FROM THE PAGES
Dr. Aniruddh Kashyap has everything most people could only dream of-a legacy, wealth, and the golden reputation of being the heir to a hospital empire. On the surface, his life is perfect: luxury parties, prestigious friends, endless attention. But behind the facade, everything feels hollow. Predictable. Lifeless. It isn't until a critically injured girl is rushed into his hospital, an anonymous patient clinging to life. After a grueling surgery, she survives, only to slip into a coma. Tasked with finding any clue about her identity, Aniruddh stumbles upon a yellow notebook tucked inside her belongings. A diary/ journal. An accident. A forgotten moment. A decision he doesn't think twice about-until he's alone, with nothing but her words to keep him company. As he reads the fragments of her life- the dreams, the heartaches, the simple joys, Aniruddh finds himself drawn to the stranger in ways he can't explain, only for her to disappear without a trace. What happens next? Do they ever meet? Or does she remain only as a "girl from the pages"? *A NOTE TO READERS* This is a work of fiction.
