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.

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.

Often, we experience things that are impossible to forget, no matter how hard we try. "Life must go on"-a phrase we hold onto as we push forward. But the real question is: Can we really move on? This is the struggle faced by our protagonists. Both are living their lives, yet their pasts have trapped them in a constant cycle of fear. While they may differ in personality, they share one common trait-fear. What happens when two strangers, bound by this shared fear, come together in a sacred union? Will they find love in each other's arms, or will their marriage become nothing more than an empty bond? Will they confront their pasts, support one another to heal, or will those same pasts continue to haunt them, destroying their future? What will happen when the ghosts of their pasts suddenly resurface? Will they face their fears or crumble under their weight? Will they fight the nightmares that torment them, or allow them to control their lives? Will they find the courage to fight for true love, or will they become prisoners of their own obsessions? To uncover the answers to these questions, you must join these two strangers on a journey that's far from easy.
