A slow-burn novel of quiet beginnings, rooted identities, and the unexpected intimacy of shared tea and silence.
Swarupa, a quietly determined woman from Rajahmundry, is caught between the expectations of her small-town life and the silent chaos of her own mind. She spends her days between job applications, Excel spreadsheets, and whispered temple visits - trying to prove something to herself in a world that never slows down.
Aarav, a UX designer from Kochi, carries a different weight - the pressure of always being composed, of making the world smoother for others while never asking for much in return. He's visiting Rajahmundry on a project that should've felt temporary, until it didn't.
They meet not through grand fate, but through a power cut, a cup of ginger tea, and a fallen pen.
Set against the soft rhythm of temple bells, monsoon skies, and old Telugu songs on dusty speakers, Beneath Monsoon Skies is a story of slow glances, cultural echoes, and learning to be seen without needing to be loud.
Because sometimes, the most meaningful stories don't start with fireworks -
They start with two people sitting across from each other, just talking... until they aren't strangers anymore.

Rules and Roses
Aarohi had two speeds in life-full throttle and asleep. At twenty, she was a whirl of laughter, flying dupattas, and half-finished hobbies. Her mother said she was born talking, and that hadn't changed much in two decades. Whether it was dancing in the rain, playing with kids in the neighborhood, or sneaking extra mango pickles from the kitchen, Aarohi lived every moment like it was a festival. And then there was Anurag. Thirty years old. Quiet. Sharp-jawed. The kind of man who ironed his clothes with military precision and refused to jaywalk even on empty streets. He lived by lists, calendars, and things that made sense. He also happened to be Aarohi's childhood "Anu bhaiyya." Well... he had been bhaiyya. Until recently. Until that annoying, adorable little tornado started growing up, stopped calling him bhaiyya, and started fluttering her eyelashes every time he scolded her. Their families had been friends for generations. Diwalis were spent together, birthdays celebrated with joint cakes, and every summer, Aarohi's family visited Anurag's hill home like clockwork. This summer was no different. But something else was. This summer, Aarohi had decided she was going to make Anurag fall in love with her. Even if he still treated her like she was a child who needed a lecture every time she left the fridge open. "Anurag," she called sweetly from the porch, swinging her legs. "You know, you really should try smiling more. I hear it burns calories." He looked up from his laptop, one eyebrow raised. "And I hear silence is golden," he said dryly, sipping his black coffee. She grinned. "You need more colors in your life." "I have a spreadsheet full of them." Aarohi laughed and jumped up, her anklets chiming like little bells. She didn't know how or when it would happen, but she believed in impossible things. Like sunshine melting mountains. Like mango pickles softening rules. Like Anurag falling in love with her.Complete
SHADOW'S OF US
In the heart of a small, restless town where power whispers louder than love, two souls collide - not by fate, but by mistake. Aarohi, a strong-willed college student with a quiet fire in her eyes, believes love can still mend what the world has broken. Raghav, a young politician shaped by discipline and shadows, was never meant to believe in love at all. He was raised to command, not to feel - trained by a father who taught him strength through silence, loyalty through pain, and survival through control. When their worlds meet in the narrow streets of Suryapur's bustling market, a single glance changes everything. It isn't gentle, nor kind - it's dangerous, magnetic, and wrong in every possible way. Their story unfolds between power and vulnerability, politics and passion, silence and surrender. Raghav's love is quiet, unspoken - seen only in the way he watches, protects, and punishes himself for feeling at all. Aarohi becomes the only thing that unsettles his rigid order - the one risk he cannot reason away. But love in their world isn't simple. It's forbidden - tainted by family, ambition, and the choices that define them. As Raghav's control begins to crack and Aarohi's world starts to fall apart, they'll have to decide what matters more: duty, pride, or the dangerous pull between them. "Shadows of Us" is a dark, emotional tale of forbidden love - of two people bound by power, guilt, and the quiet ache of wanting what they can never fully have. A story where love is not soft - it's survival.
