I meant my short stories. Eat them. Gobble them all up and make for a 'happy' in the mind.
In 2003, I started writing fiction pieces. On paper. Yeah, I didn't have a laptop back then and it's excruciatingly tedious to sit at a desktop just to type out your story. Those of you who've done it will know what I'm talking about!
Anyway, I wrote and I stashed away. Then, after the emotional journey defined in I Write Because I Can, I put many of my pieces up on websites, sent others out to ezines and print mags and guess what? It was awesome! Some were published with actual payments involved, others were free food for thought in public forums but ALL got read. And that was important.
Here is a tiny collection of some of those earlier pieces. I haven't edited anything. Even the punctuation and editing mistakes are there for your admiration ;)
So, enjoy. And love my work!

Life is like a rollercoaster. It has its ups and downs, but it's your choice whether to scream or enjoy the ride. What happens when life throws you off track completely? Do you scream... or do you hold on tighter? For Ira and Rudraksh, the journey is far from smooth. One is suffocating under the weight of failure, the other carrying the fragments of a shattered heart. Two strangers, caught in life's ugliest turns, where every step forward is a fight against invisible battles. This is not a story of being saved by each other, but of learning to live despite the wreckage, of finding the courage to stand when the ground never stops shaking. However, if their paths ever converge, will they find solace in each other... or will their differences pull them apart? ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ This is a character-driven literary fiction set in a contemporary world, where every character breathes fully and every emotion unfolds in its own time. It is the kind of story that feels less like something you read and more like something you live beside, watching the characters grow, falter, heal, and discover themselves at their own pace. If you have a moment, and a heart willing to feel deeply and quietly, I invite you into this universe of mine. And if you wish to know more, simply explore the tags. They hold the essence of what awaits you here... with a little something extra, like a cherry on top. Copyright © 2026 Jambudweep.

OceanSight Blogs
Hi, A few years back I began my blogger's journey. Now it's time when I archive them all here and share with you all. But before that let me do the little formality and introduce you the blogger, the writer, the artist behind this all. Hey I'm Ocean, a dreamy girl, who has completed her college studies of fashion designing from a few years back and then stepped into the writing world. Though writing was already a big part of me since my school days, but now it has become a professional practice too. Other than writing and designing, I pretty much like photography and travelling. And the things which I love to do in my free time is dancing, listening to music - hindi classicals, qawwali, ghazal, indie-pop or fusions are my favourite, other than that watching movies/series - Classics, Rom-Com, Action, Thrill, Sci-Fi - ALL! and studying film-making. Behind the scenes always hit different to me. So, the big question! What this blog archive is about? And the answer is - it's about all those things which interests me and how I have worked around it and published them as blogs. Yes, it includes everything, things I just mentioned above. And all the things I find fascinating, the things I write about, think about and feel about. The things we share with people and the things which we do not share with people. A place - where thoughts, imagination and creation are put together. The world is seen differently every next day and yet it seems the same. To add one more difference or maybe show a similarity, I'm here to put the view from OceanSight! This is about everything for everyone or maybe a single thing for just that someone, who knows! The raindrops fall down equally towards the ground, how they are embraced and how they are accepted is totally different! So, those, who are interested in exploring new things OR connect with old memories, are welcome... here! Thank You! Te veo pronto!

And yeah ignore my grammatical mistake I am not a professional writer 😉. butt there is twist and turns alsooooooo ' hmm now leave me or else' she said controlling her sobs ' or else what. u r going to complain about this to ur so-called boyfriend?' i asked sarcastically ' tell me does he hug u like this? does he make u feel like this? does he care for u like me? do u feel like this with him? you don't. and yeah tell him to make some distance from u either I will break his bones or I will directly kill that bastard' i warned her ' leave me Aryan I want to go she said ' ok, u can. tum mujhse waise bhi door ja chuki ho ahana and the reason is u yourself ' i said and went from there leaving her there devastated "Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable." - Bruce Lee #2=wedding out of 24.6k #2=college life out of 2.4k #4=college friends out of 3.4kComplete
She Has His Heart (US#4)
(Unwanted Series#4) (Sequel to HSB & HAB) -"She has my heart. Its all up to her either cherish it or throw it."- - - - "Sha-Shai-Shaizum.. Shaizum.. don't leave." I froze there and felt my heart and soul pierced with a million knives. I stood straight and stared blankly at her unconscious state. It wasn't her fault. It wasn't. I was the one at fault who thought it would be very easy to make her forget him. But how could she forget the man she loved for many years, in few months. I sat beside her and counted her breaths as mine was getting lost with her voice. • • • There was a news few days before that a young man committed suicide after not getting his love. How did he feel when he fell from the 3rd floor? Did he feel more pain than heartbreak? Or did he feel peace in his heart after jumping from the 3rd floor? If I also jump from the 3rd floor, will I feel this pain of heart breaking? Or I'll just feel the peace that I searched from everywhere? A stupid decision took me from where to where. - - - He is just a friend for her. But, unknowingly, she is more than a friend for him. He is waiting for her without any intentions. But she doesn't know about it. He gave her his heart a long time ago. But she throws it everytime without knowing. - - - Can be read as stand-alone too. Status~ 1st Started: 10/06/2019.

Settling Slowly
2015 rolled in with a bang, and it did not have the grace to gift me with a social life that everyone in a one hundred year radius would be jealous of or that is even just the talk of the town. Instead I got myself into a complicated relationship which wasn't much talked about, a relationship that I didn't get into is talked about all the time and university is around the figurative corner. That is where you can factor in people I suppose I should call 'fans', the fascination that comes in with cutlery, pots, pans and other formerly boring things. But let us not forget that my parents are finally getting married and Mum can't shop for lace without me wanting to kill her, add in a dose of sleepless nights, invigorating kisses - which have nothing to do with the sleepless nights and a lot to do with nightmares - Harriet not knowing the meaning of the words "you're done" and Ice Ice Baby is still a thing. We're all growing up (except Dad who will still make inappropriate jokes at every inappropriate moment, some to do with what cannot be done when you're wearing a plaster cast) and holidays are being planned though some are less holiday and more a mad dash to find somewhere to live out in the big wide world without our parents. Life might be moving on, but I still go to McDonald's late at night with my friends. Some things at least don't change. Sequel to: Falling Fast CompleteComplete
