    📚 Silk and Smoke Where silk whispers and smoke lingers, their love story begins. She's couture and command. He's chaos in quiet. Together - they could rewrite fate... or set it on fire. Ivikaa Ambani - the heiress who stitched Paris into her bones and stitched shut her heart. "Silk drips from her touch, fire hums beneath her ribs - Ivikaa, the princess of Paris by design." Adwait Agnivanshi - a man molded by Mumbai's alleys and armed with silence sharper than any scream. "Smoke doesn't scream - it smothers. Adwait, born from Mumbai's cracks, raised in its shadows." Between the bruises of power and the hush of devotion, their story unfolds - slow, aching, inevitable. Because when silk meets smoke... something always catches fire.

    25 saal ki zindagi... aur ek bhi jeet nahi. Career ho, paise ho, ya rishte... har jagah sirf haar. Parvati - jise sab pyaar se Paro bulate the - apni hi nazron mein gir chuki thi. Usse lagta tha woh sirf dard deti hai... Jo usse umeed rakhte hain, unhe hurt karti hai... Aur jo umeed nahi rakhte, unke liye woh bas ek aur nakaam insaan hai. Na woh dharti par bojh banna chahti thi... Na apno ki zindagi mein ek aur wajah dard ki. Isliye, darr ke bawajood... aansuon ke saath... Usne apni kahani khatam karne ka faisla kar liya. "Kuch pal ka dard hoga... phir sab theek ho jayega..." Lekin us raat, jab woh apni zindagi se haar maan chuki thi... Kisi ne uska haath pakad liya. "Yeh kya kar rahi ho tum... aur kyun?" Woh thi Saumya - ya Sumi - ek anjaan ladki, par shayad us raat ki sabse zaroori wajah. "Jaan dena solution nahi hota... kya pata tum na maro, sirf toot jao aur zyada dard mile?" Paro chup thi... haar chuki thi. Tab Sumi ne halka sa muskura kar kaha - "Jab tak hai jaan... tab tak hai chance." "Ek baar aur try karo... sirf ek baar. Agar phir bhi kuch na badla... phir jo tum chaho." Ek anjaan ladki ki baat... Ek rukta hua kadam... Ek last chance. Kya Paro zindagi ko ek aur mauka degi? Ya yeh sirf uski kahani ka thoda sa delayed end hai...

    What if the problem was never the world - but you? The Loser's Manual is not a guide to success. It is a raw, honest account of what happens before it - the failed attempts, the unfinished dreams, the weight of expectations, and the quiet persistence that refuses to die. Marcos grows up believing he is meant for something more. He learns fast, dreams big, and starts over countless times - but never seems to arrive anywhere. Between childhood frustrations, unstable paths, and the pressure to become "someone," he builds a life shaped as much by effort as by interruption. Until one moment changes everything: a writing competition that forces him to confront not only others, but himself. This is not a story about being the best. It is about not stopping. About falling short - and continuing anyway.

    The town of Dogwood in Cross County, North Carolina is a picturesque seaside community with a sordid past swimming in piracy. Smoking Beard, aka Edward Hollingsworth, was the terror of the colonial coast in the 1600's, and one of Dogwood's founding members, before his descent into illegal privateering and eventual decline into madness. Four hundred years later, Bertha Rodriguez, romance novelist, resides in Dogwood along with her best friend Camilla Goldstein, Dogwood's chief of police. Every year the town capitalizes on its founders' past with a week long festival in June. The Founders' Festival brings much needed tourism and a break from the monotony of living in a small town. This year will be different, a huge storm hits the coast two weeks before the festival begins and someone uses it as an opportunity for murder. With their town cut off from the rest of civilization, it falls to Bertha and Camilla to solve the murder before the weather clears and the villain is able to make an escape.

    Si Vallerien Porsa, isang babaeng puno ng pangarap; para sa pamilya, para sa sarili. Wala ibang ginagawa kung hindi ang mag-aral, maghanap ng pwedeng pagkakitaan, at patunayan na sa kabila ng bulok na sistema ng kaniyang bansa, may mararating siya; magtatapos at maiahon sa hirap ang kaniyang mga magulang at mga kapatid. Babaeng puno ng dedikasyon at motibasyon. Sa kabila ng lahat ng hirap na pinagdaanan, hindi nagawang sumuko at ipagwalang bahala ang pangarap na matagal na niyang binubuo. Pero sa kabila ng pag-aakalang mararating na niya ang tagumpay; may isang taong papasok sa buhay niya na aakalain niyang kasama sa tagumpay na natatamasa niya-sa isang iglap, wala na lahat-gumuho, at parang bumalik lang sa umpisa, kung saan kailangan niya muling simulan ang lahat. Isang tanong lamang ang pumasok sa isip niya. "Susuko na ba?"

    Part of the "Break of Dawn" series, a collection of confessional poetry, verses and prose with universal themes of self-identity, family, love and loss. The collection is narrated with an underlying sense of longing, the need to overcome adversity and heal old wounds to transcend into a brighter future. BREAK OF DAWN picks up my writing after a more than 15 year hiatus, having survived a period in my life deeply rooted in depression and a general sense of emptiness. With a main focus on personal introspection and the realization that writing and poetry had always been part of who I am, and the best outlet for bottled-up emotions.
