Hi people,
You guys have been my guiding light in the dark.
I am starting a new story- "The Return"
It's a completed Novella.
This time, I am posting the updates on Substack
I'll post the link here.
The Return
“Ram had all the means to go back and seek Sita. He knew where she was. He could meet his offspring, and he could offer them the world. But here he sat, naked and devoid of any familial love, not even knowing how his children look like.”
Summary:
Sita walks back into Ayodhya not as a queen, but as a woman shaped by exile. Urmila counts the years in silence, her loyalty unacknowledged. Mandavi, always steady, finds her faith tested in a world that doesn't reward stillness. And Bharat—grief-stricken, duty-bound—must lead a kingdom while mourning a brother who was never truly gone.
The Return is a reflective reimagining of the Ramayana, told not through battles and dharma, but through longing, loss, love, and quiet defiance.
What does it mean to return—to a palace, to a relationship, to oneself—when everything familiar feels changed?
For those who wonder what happened after the epic ended.

For everyone who shall support my story on this platform, I am heavily obliged and full of gratitude.
I'd be looking forward to your reviews and will surely consider it a great favour.
Thank You
