1860, India Gauri was expected to be quiet, obedient, and invisible. But beneath her composed exterior burned a fire that no tradition could contain. Married into an orthodox household, she learns to hide every thought behind a lowered gaze-until Ashutosh, the man shaped by the same customs, begins to notice the silence in her eyes. When their hands brush across a lamp's glow, something unspoken passes between them-too brief to name, too dangerous to repeat. Yet in that single heartbeat, the walls of the house seem to breathe. As shadows of duty tighten, and every glance carries the weight of consequence, Gauri's courage begins to awaken the man who once believed obedience was virtue. What begins as a flicker of understanding becomes a quiet storm neither can contain. Step into 1860, where honour and desire walk the same narrow path, and where one woman dares to let the light beneath her veil burn bright enough to be seen. ...... "Kya kaha tumne?" ("What did you just say?") His tone carried anger - but his eyes searched hers for something more. Gauri didn't flinch. There was something in her gaze tonight... courage, perhaps, or a trace of mischief that refused to bow. She drew a slow breath, the corner of her lips trembling. "Maine kaha, Ashut-" The name broke midway, swallowed by the silence between them. ---

Poems that I wrote about things that I can't JUST speak on

Violet Potter's Second Year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has begun. When Harry Potter and his best friend, Ron Weasley are almost expelled for (illegally) flying an enchanted car from London to Hogwarts, the calculating and brutal Head of Slytherin House, Professor Snape, personally warns Violet against further fraternization with any Gryffindors. Her own brother and his closest friends in particular. The insufferable Draco Malfoy, the always stuck-up Pansy Parkinson, and several of their cronies also take it upon themselves to give Violet (and Harry) even more grief. The new DADA teacher, while at least not one harboring any dark wizards on the back of his head, is unfortunately as incompetent and narcissistic as a Gilderoy might come, and very likely a complete phony. And what exactly is the deal with the Malfoy family's house-elf anyway? Or the elf that the Maynard family used to own? Violet soon has bigger problems to worry about when the legendary Chamber of Secrets is reopened, as muggle-borns all over the school are turning up petrified. And, worst of all, almost everyone seems to think that Harry and Violet have something to do with these attacks. Even in spite of the fact that Violet and Victoria among a few others have volunteered to work tirelessly with helping Professor Sprout to prepare the antidote and venturing into the other three chambers while Harry, Ron, and Hermione are racing against time to solve the mystery of the infamous Chamber of Secrets itself. But the true culprits are far more sinister than most could ever imagine... Disclaimer: This is a fan reimagining of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling. I own nothing other than the characters I made up.

They were loud. They were online. They told the truth. No one listened. Five years after a teenage boy is shot dead at a pit on the edge of a forgotten mining town, Detective Jayne Reddington returns to Roseville and finds the original case file. It was ruled cut and dry. A bad kid. A bad family. A single bad night. But the statements tell a different story. Through witness accounts, police interviews, and voices that refuse to behave, You Should Listen unravels the lives of the Indigo Children - teens who grew up under surveillance, suspicion, and silence. They joked when they were scared. Performed when they were hurting. Spoke loudly because being quiet never kept them safe. As Jayne reads, the case stops being about the past - and starts becoming about everything that was ignored: abuse that was reported, warnings that were documented, and children who were never believed. The truth was always there. It just wasn't convenient.

Playtime Co. College, the most prestigious college in the country, where only the top students get in and graduate. Then there's you, who, by a stroke of luck, made it in but has already missed half a semester. The shock was justified-something strange is happening. You're is starting to develop an unusual ability to move objects with your mind. Amidst this chaos, you sit with you're only friend, Karasu, battling your overwhelming social anxiety while trying to master your newfound power and learn to use it carefully. (The Smiling Critters, mostly female, play a significant role in the story later.)

Being Indian American feels like living in a pressure cooker wrapped in a smile. You're told to be perfect, productive, palatable - never loud, never intimidating. But travel to India, and you'll meet folks who are bold, stylish, confident, and unapologetically gangsta. DEAR DIASPORA, YOU'RE NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER is a sharp, personal callout - not to India, but to the suffocating performance of "representation," perfectionism and intraracial competition that dominates Desi life in the West. This isn't a sob story - it's a truth bomb. A cultural essay that demands real freedom, not filtered branding. If you're ready to sip some realness, break free from the cage of expectations, and find your max pro aura - this is for you. 🍋 Bold. Tart. Sweet. Unfiltered. 🍋 Just like a glass of limeade on a hot day.

People seek war, for justice. Does war give you justice ?. What do that justice cost? The same way, does peace give justice? Does it cost anything? Why does all things, when discussed go endlessly without an answer?

They meet like most modern love stories do - without drama, without declarations. Just shared mornings, lectures, and glances that linger a second too long. Ipsita never questions falling for Hridayansh; it feels easy, inevitable, and right. What she does not anticipate is how loudly society will object. In a world that pretends caste no longer matters, it still decides who is acceptable to love and who is not. The difference between them is not in values or dreams, but in birth, something neither of them chose. As feelings deepen, reality intrudes. Families draw lines. Traditions speak louder than hearts. Love is asked to prove itself against centuries of belief. This story traces a quiet, aching journey of two souls caught between affection and approval-where love must learn patience, resilience, and rebellion. Because when the world says no, love must decide whether it will stay silent or survive.

"I was told not to laugh too loudly-it didn't suit the family." "Someone suggested I change the way I signed my name after marriage." "They discussed my food preferences in a family meeting-without me in the room." None of these moments ended a marriage. None of them caused a scene. And none of them were ever spoken about again. This book begins in those moments. Reasons Why Women Should Not Get Married in India is a non-fiction collection of real, short stories told by women across generations who encountered the strange, uncomfortable, and quietly disorienting realities of marriage. Their marriages were not disasters. Many were stable. Some were loving. But all of them came with small incidents that carried big meanings-moments that made these women pause and wonder when, exactly, they had begun disappearing. Each chapter presents a "reason," not as an argument, but as a lived experience: the comments passed casually at family dinners, the expectations that arrive without discussion, the subtle reshaping of personality, preferences, body, colour, voice, and behaviour. These are not dramatic confessions. They are everyday truths-easy to dismiss, impossible to forget. This is not a book against marriage. It acknowledges that many women build happy, fulfilling partnerships. But it also insists that the quieter discomforts the ones that don't look serious enough to protest deserve to be documented. Intimate, unsettling, and deeply familiar, this book gives language to experiences women usually share only in whispers. It asks no one to reject marriage. It simply asks readers to notice what is usually overlooked. Because sometimes, the strangest parts of marriage are also the most telling.

This is an English translation of my own fiction novel: Mari Kita Bully Demi Kebaikan. What happens when a single stare can change a person? Joko Wiryawan, an elementary school teacher famous for his death stare, has never laid a hand on a student. But one look from him... and a kid instantly feels guilty for the sins of their entire bloodline. From that stare came the "Social Stare Movement" - a silent act that made rule-breakers crumble under their own shame. But once the movement went viral and the government hijacked it, everything fell apart. Honest people started dying. Elementary kids took revenge with kitchen knives. And those who only wanted to look "morally perfect" ended up killing the very idea of goodness itself. A funny, bitter, and painfully honest story about morality, social media, and the danger of trying to be the most righteous person on the internet. Because sometimes... the one that needs saving the most isn't the world - but yourself.

Apa jadinya kalau tatapan tajam bisa bikin orang berubah? Joko Wiryawan, guru SD yang terkenal dengan "tatapan maut"-nya, nggak pernah mukul murid. Tapi sekali dia menatap... murid bisa langsung merasa berdosa tiga generasi ke belakang. Dari tatapan itu, lahir gerakan "Tatapan Sosial" - aksi diam yang bikin pelanggar aturan malu sendiri. Tapi saat gerakan itu viral dan diambil alih pemerintah, segalanya jadi kacau. Orang jujur dibunuh. Anak SD balas dendam pakai pisau dapur. Dan orang-orang yang cuma mau terlihat baik, malah membunuh kebaikan itu sendiri. Sebuah kisah lucu, getir, dan reflektif tentang moral, media sosial, dan bahaya jadi manusia paling benar di internet. > Karena terkadang... yang paling perlu diselamatkan bukan dunia, tapi diri sendiri dulu.

King Oropher rules a kingdom where the rich grow richer and the poor grow poorer. As disease and orcs ravage the lower classes, young Prince Thranduil makes it his mission to rebuild Mirkwood.

At the age of fourteen, Violet Potter, a famous half-blood Slytherin witch in training with a story such as hers, is extraordinarily fortunate to have survived for this long. The same thing could just as easily be said about her Gryffindor hero-brother, Harry Potter. While back at school, Violet's fourth year turns out to be even more exhilarating than any usual school year. The Triwizard Tournament, a once-in-a-century event, is being hosted at Hogwarts. Violet is hoping for a year as quiet as it can get at Hogwarts, without as much danger for herself or Harry, hopeful that maybe, just maybe, they can both just be spectators while watching the Tournament unfold from the sidelines like any other underage students. And then, not at all suspiciously *cue the sarcasm*, the Goblet of Fire spits out a fourth piece of paper. And to Violet's terrified dismay (and almost everyone else's disbelief, envy, or fury), the fourth competitor that should not be is... Her brother. Harry Potter. Who everything always seems to happen to. After that, Violet is certain that only two people could have been responsible for putting Harry's name into the Goblet: Professor Snape, who she now knows used to be a loyal servant to Voldemort, or the new DADA teacher, Alastor "Mad Eye" Moody. The long road ahead now only seems irrevocably pointed toward a Second Wizarding War. Disclaimer: This is a fan reimagining of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling.

Ever wondered what everyday life in Ghana really feels like when the people who make the rules never have to live by them? Conversations We Avoid is a collection of real, unfiltered thoughts about the small frustrations we laugh through, the social issues we've normalized, and the quiet truths no one in power ever seems to notice. It's not politics - it's just life. Told from the perspective of someone living it.

The Blueprint for a Breakout In an era of unprecedented digital surveillance and algorithmic control, the boundary between "convenience" and "captivity" has never been thinner. As we move through 2026, the systems that govern our finances, our attention, and our very identities have evolved into what many are calling the Modern Day Slave Matrix. The Fifty Shades of Reality series is not just another critique; it is a clinical dissection of the invisible bars. This "Deepest Dive" installment serves as the definitive autopsy of the global status quo. It moves past the surface-level conspiracy to reveal the structural engineering behind human domestication-and, more importantly, provides the architectural plans for those ready to build an exit.
