Under The Same Mumbai Sky
90s. Mumbai. Two hearts, one city and a thousand stolen glances. Every morning, she boards the same local train-armed with dreams, letters in her bag and Shah Rukh Khan in her heart. And every morning, he watches her from the next compartment, silently matching his rhythm with hers. A story started with disagreements, cute banters, his quirky remarks and her sarcastic replies blooms into a big garden full of emotions, love and respect. As their bond deepens in a city bursting with colour, chaos and cassette tapes, the two must navigate family expectations, cultural clashes and the kind of love that feels both cinematic and real. In a world without smartphones but filled with landline calls and monsoon memories, Under The Same Mumbai Sky is a tender, slow-burn romance that captures the magic of first love-and the city that witnessed it all. ~A love story based in the 90s blooming through the streets and local of Mumbai 🚆🫶🏻💌
Beneath His Hands
She's just turned eighteen-restless, curious, and far too aware of the man who's always been in the background of her life. He's her father's best friend-recently divorced, emotionally bruised, and old enough to know better. At a summer backyard barbecue, one accidental touch changes everything. A spark. A look. A moment neither of them can shake. What begins as tension builds into something dangerous-something they're both too scared to name. Because some lines should never be crossed. But some desires don't care. A slow-burn, age-gap romance wrapped in heat, heartache, and the ache of forbidden want.

Loving Through The Darkness
He wasn't heartless. Just... unconvinced. Of love. Of women. Of promises that sound too pretty to be true. She wasn't broken. Just quietly aching. To be seen. To be wanted for who she is, not who she's expected to be. He inherited empires. She inherited emptiness. And when fate ties them together, love doesn't enter gently- It cracks the walls, shakes the ground, and demands to be felt. Loving Through Your Darkness Two hearts. One lie. And a love story neither of them believed they deserved.Complete
