bangles

{updates every weekend}

This is not your typical romcom. There are things in here you normally wouldn't pay attention to. Like windows, nose rings, and chin dimples. Oh, and bangles.

Bangles is GenZ desi rom com situated in Hyderabad.

Told across three timelines - when she's 13, then 17, and finally 21 - this is the story of two childhood friends and neighbors turned something else entirely.

She's the eldest daughter in a house that keeps forgetting to love her.
Lonely, quiet, and surviving more than anyone knows, she hides her bruises behind sarcasm and sleeves.

He's the golden boy next door - eldest son, all charm and chaos, raised in the warmth of a family that hugs first and asks questions later.
But even sunshine has shadows. And he's got more than he lets on.

As fate - and faith - throw them into each other's orbit, sparks fly, secrets untangle, and hearts collide in ways neither of them saw coming.

This is her story. A semi-autobiographical, raw, messy, funny, deeply Desi rom-com with emotional gut-punches, stolen moments, wedding disasters, a quiet return to faith, religious rebirth, and chai that burns just right.

💔 It's not a love story between perfect people. It's a story about hurting and healing, about choosing hope anyway, and learning to trust God when love alone isn't enough.
And it's written by someone who's experienced it all, minus the good parts.
So you really won't regret giving this story a chance.
