Tomorrow is my daughter's wedding.
Tonight, my husband looks at me the same way he did the first summer we met - when I was ten, barefoot on the sand, trying to belong in a world older than me.
The beachhouse was my grandmother's rebellion. Every summer, our families gathered there. Two months of sun, swimming pools, loud cousins, and the ocean that never kept secrets.
That was the summer I first saw him.
Green eyes. Quiet. Different.
At eleven, I watched him from a distance.
At twelve, we spoke.
At fifteen, I kissed him.
At seventeen, he left.
Some summers end.
Some loves don't.
This is the story of first love, forced distance, family expectations, and the boy who became the man brushing my hair on the night before our daughter's wedding.
Some tides always return.

Kaatrin Mazhai Pola
Love does not always arrive with fireworks. Some stories are loud; others arrive like drizzle-soft, hesitant, seeping into every crack until the house of the heart smells of rain. Sometimes, it comes quietly-like rain on a tired evening, or a voice that simply stays when the world feels too loud. Kaatrin Mazhai Pola is a story of two people from different worlds- Arun, a 25-year-old IT employee from Madurai, and Meena, a 19-year-old housemaid from Theni, whose strength lies in her gentleness. Their lives meet in Chennai and slowly entwine through kindness, hardship, and the ordinary grace of shared days. It is about how love can bloom in small moments, and how two lives can grow together against the wind. What begins as companionship between unequals becomes a lifelong partnership built on respect, patience, and faith in small joys. Their daughter Mozhi is the voice of that love-the bridge between the worlds that once kept them apart. This story belongs to those who believe that kindness is a language stronger than class, noise, or time. This story is now published on Amazon Kindle.

But love... it had other plans. From playful glances in school corridors, To silent heartbreaks and sleepless nights across oceans... Years later, fate sends them colliding again And when the past catches up with their present, will they finally walk the road they were forced to abandon? Or will duty and distance steal their love once more? A journey of hidden scars, stolen moments, and a love that refuses to fade even when the world demands it too. ✨ Because sometimes, love doesn't ask permission... it just returns.

Slow and Steady wins the love
In matters of character and perspective, Kathiravan and Nandhini could not be more dissimilar, but in a charming way. Nandhini, like every woman, harbours her own visions for romance and marital bliss, while Kathiravan seems to drift through life with little consideration for such dreams. He can flash a smile but isn't really the laughing type, always keeping things rather serious with his posture and gestures instead of going for a relaxed vibe. They have an arranged marriage and Nandhini feels like she's supposed to love Kathiravan. So how did these two end up falling for each other? How do they go about building their perfect marriage? Keep reading to know how they unfold their beautiful love. Just so you know, everything in this book is entirely fictional and purely a product of my imagination, although I have drawn on bits of my own life here and there. Keep that in mind and consider casting a vote for my story to help bring it all together soon!
Destined... If they are meant to meet, they will find their way...
In the quiet fictional village of Pitthoragarh, life moves slowly-where everyone knows everyone, and yet no one truly understands the depth of what others feel. Ahana, a soft-spoken girl from a modest yet respected family, has always lived a life of simplicity and dreams hidden behind silence. She believes in love, but never imagines that it might quietly grow inside her without permission. Raghav belongs to a world that feels slightly distant from hers-confident, privileged, and bound by expectations that were decided long before he could question them. To him, she is familiar, kind... but never something he thinks beyond casual presence. But to her, he becomes everything she never confessed. What begins as a silent admiration slowly turns into an unspoken connection, shaped by stolen glances, shared spaces, and emotions that neither of them names. And in a village where families begin writing futures before hearts understand themselves, even silence starts to feel like a promise. Just when life seems to gently align their paths, distance steps in. Raghav leaves. And what remains behind is waiting... hope... and unanswered feelings that slowly begin to change shape with time. When he finally returns, nothing is the same anymore-not the village, not the conversations, and certainly not the emotions they once refused to acknowledge. Because some stories are not about love at first sight... They are about love that was never spoken at the right time. And some hearts are not broken-they are just waiting for the truth.
