Meet Anika Reddy, an introvert south Indian girl. She is eager to share her childhood with you. A fun-filled childhood which many children are not destined to. At the age of twelve, she experienced what parental pressure is. Everything seemed pretty well until she was fourteen. An eye opening revelation followed by her inability to express that incident to anyone, she seemed to be lost.

At the age of eighteen, she finds herself violated. She narrates her path of discovering herself in the patriarchal society. She narrates the turn of events that provoked her inner feminist. 

She sinks into depression, unable to bear with her parents high expectations and self pressure. But she is a warrior who battles out from her depression. Alone. Following which she manages to get 'good' grades in University exams as decided by the society.

She lands into a satisfactory job, becoming financially independent. Her life was monotonous when colours decide to burst into her life.
Her parents decide to start looking for grooms! Can she find her 'perfect' soulmate?

She finds Vikram Reddy as the only 'eligible' groom among the suitors. She takes a decision to marry him. Their relationship takes a new level when they confess their love to each other. 

Fate has different plans for them. How will she battle them with Vikram's unconditional love and support? Can she become Avni and Vani's role model by not repeating the mistakes Chaitra had done?

Laugh and cry with her as she narrates her life to you. From bubbly girl to silent teenager. From silent teenager to feminist. From her birth to her death.

Going back to my old title 'Is He A She?!' instead of the Tapas one 'Testoster-zone.' _______ ❝Sometimes you don't have to be Superman or Spiderman to save a soul. You just have to dress as a guy.❞ _______ Parents and troubled looks are always a bad combination. Just like how getting bankrupt and asking to dress as a guy are a bad combination. Mission objectives: 1. Befriend unfriendly, cold, rich loner. 2. Make him social. 3. Get the hell out of this all boys school. But some things go unplanned just like how the mission gets altered a 'teeny' bit. Like, for e.g., 1. Make friends. 2. Become one of the boys. 3. Make her roommate 'life of the party.' 4. Have the time of her life. 5. And maybe, just maybe... fall in love. ________________ Dedicated to my sister/mentor/inspiration @Litdark ________________ r e a d e r ' s o p i n i o n "Your story has dripping sarcasm and drool worthy attitude of girls, and the amazing romance - I kid you not, no one wants to miss an amazing sarcasm dripping hilarious fiction." "That girl is da bomb. Period." "The feels and bromance is too real. Help!" "Short. But hilarious and downright funny.
