'Don't do this, don't do that. Don't wear this, don't talk to them, keep your voice down, don't answer back, don't stay out late' etc. etc.....
Imagine living with such restrictions....
Stupid, right?
Now, meet Uttara Kashyap, a normal teenager born in an abnormally orthodox and conservative Indian household. Her philosophy is to live and let live, to obey but not surrender.
When suddenly, after a phenomenal result, Uttara gets an equally phenomenal opportunity to study architecture in London, she's not a moron to turn it down, but her overly conservative family surely is.
Fighting for her life is not so easy, and when she finally gets what she wants, living that is not exactly a cakewalk. There are a lot of feelings surfacing out of nowhere, things she never imagined happening, and situations that are not easy to deal with.
What is Uttara's life going to be like?
Will she be able to get all she wants?Or will she be forced to quit and return?
Will she have to adjust again in a set of values she begged to defy?
Will Uttara get her dreams fulfilled, and her emotions in check?
To find all the answers, accompany Uttara on her journey as she goes against things that tie her down in ways she doesn't want, and fights against things she knows she shouldn't.

My First Love
Meet Alizah, the ultimate parent-pleaser extraordinaire! She's like the CEO of "Operation Make-Parents-Happy," always two steps ahead of what her parents need. If love was measured in mango pickles, Alizah would have made enough to last the whole neighborhood for years-because nothing makes her happier than knowing her parents are proud (and well-fed). She's not just obedient; she's the gold-standard role model for "I'll do anything for my parents," with a side of humor and a smile that says,"Challenge accepted!" Life was all smooth until one day-BAM! Her parents dropped the biggest bombshell: "We found the perfect boy for you!" Before she could say, 'Not Ready' she was already knee-deep in wedding prep, forced into a marriage she never signed up for. The boy? A soft-spoken, polite guy named Vivaan, who looks like the human version of a greeting card-nice, but completely unnecessary (in her opinion). Now, Alizah isn't one to rebel; she's the kind of girl who'd say "thank you" after getting scolded. But being obedient has *limits*-and they were crossed somewhere between picking bridal lehengas and smiling for selfies at pre-wedding shoots. In her mind, she plotted "Mission Sabotage" Unfortunately, nothing worked, because Alizah parents could win *Gold* in emotional blackmail. "Beta, we just want to see you happy," they'd say with teary eyes, making her surrender faster than a cricketer caught in an LBW. And so, Alizah steps into her new life, half in disbelief, half in acceptance-like a girl boarding the wrong train but thinking, "Well, at least the view outside might be nice in this fake world" "Some journeys begin without a destination."Whether this one leads to chaos or contentment, only time will tell. Prepare for laugh-out-loud moments, heart-tugging twists, and the sweetest mess of feelings!Complete
