UPCOMING 

> She dreamed of white coats. He dreamed of building cities. Neither dreamed of each other.

At nineteen, Kavya Deswal had her whole life ahead of her-a bright student with big dreams of becoming a doctor, breaking generational expectations in a conservative Haryanvi household. But just when life started to bloom, a storm she never saw coming shattered everything-her freedom, her future, her voice.

Vihaan Ahlawat, twenty-six, is the quiet force behind some of Delhi's most ambitious architectural projects. Raised in a village but shaped by the city, he's the kind of man who builds skyscrapers by day but can't fix the crumbling values at home. His family's rigid beliefs about women and marriage have always weighed on him, but when those beliefs drag him into a forced marriage with a girl he's never met-he learns silence isn't enough anymore.

Two strangers.
A bond neither chose.
And a life they must learn to share-without losing who they are.

In a world that expects them to adjust, submit, and survive, can love grow slowly between the ruins of their stolen choices?

Bairi Sanam: The hate of a lover by writersabode24

When two equally powerful souls come together, their strength enhances, and it makes them capable of moving mountains and uprooting trees together. But what if this union begins with hatred? When passion and yearning combines, then the underlying feelings of love come out in a different way. Ketaki Vyaas, an idol of courage and kindness. She would tend to the wound she has given you herself. Tejasvin Dhyutidhara, an epitome of valour and knowledge. Even if his ways are immoral at times, he'd bring justice to your feet regardless. His love is fire and she's afraid to burn. What happens when they unite in the village of Raghavaiah into a forced marriage? What happens when the person you hate becomes your biggest support?

Bright, bubbly, and full of chatter, Abhira's days are filled with dreams of becoming a fearless lawyer and her endless love for aaloo puri cooked by her mother. Akshara's love always kept her world warm and whole. But fate strikes again-Akshara's sudden death shatters Abhira's universe, leaving her adrift and vulnerable. With her mother gone, the truth about her hidden maternal ties and the harsh realities of the world begin to surface. Into this storm steps Armaan Rathore-a self-made billionaire CEO with a cold, commanding aura. Known for his ruthlessness, temper, and untouchable pride, Armaan is the last person anyone would expect to be a protector. Yet, bound by a promise he made to Akshara, he takes responsibility for Abhira. For Armaan, it's a duty. For Abhira, it's a lifeline. She becomes the crack in his walls, her chatter softening his silence, her innocence stirring a warmth he buried long ago. And he becomes her shield, his strength anchoring her in a world where she suddenly feels alone. What begins as a promise slowly transforms into an unlikely bond-two opposite souls colliding between duty, family secrets, and unspoken emotions. Together, they must navigate betrayal, hidden truths, and the fragile line between responsibility and love. -
