Hopefully ( 90 percent) posting the first new update tomorrow or let's say today, depending on the time. It would be for Like A Love Song ( if anyone wants to refresh their memory of the same :p). More updates for various stories to follow through soon after!

          You’re a doctor… and I’m trying to become one too. I have my NEET exam in two months, and I am terrified. This will be my third attempt. I’m a dropper. Not because I was incapable… but because life happened. Health issues, family struggles, emotional chaos and somewhere in between, I lost focus.
          
          But all the world saw was that I failed twice.
          
          The people who once meant everything to me slowly started slipping away. Some taunted. Some judged. My own “forever group” left me behind with words that still echo in my mind. And now I’m back to feeling like that lonely version of myself again… even while sitting in a house full of people. It’s a strange kind of loneliness the one where you’re surrounded but unseen.
          
          You once wrote that it’s easier to open up to strangers. Maybe that’s why I found the courage to write this to you. Because somehow, through your words, you don’t feel like a stranger at all.
          
          Sometimes I see glimpses of Manik in myself the guarded heart, the silent strength, the fear of being left behind again. And your story made me believe that maybe someday, a sunshine like Nandini might walk into my life too. Maybe not in the exact way… maybe with a little gender switch… but someone who stays.
          
          Thank you for writing something that didn’t just entertain me, but healed me in ways I didn’t know I needed.
          Thank you for reminding me that broken doesn’t mean finished.
          Thank you for giving me hope when I was quietly losing it.
          
          I fell in love with your writing first…
          and somewhere along the way, I fell in love with the heart that wrote it. 
          
          With all my gratitude, admiration, and a little bit of courage, 
          
          From A reader whose life you touched more than you know.

@justgouri hi gouri. Thank you for writing to me. I am so glad you found this story and it could help you feel better in whatever way it did. I have hope that yes one day you will find someone who would love you for you and stay forever. Medicine is a tough field and a constant struggle for a long time. My best wishes are with you, and you will do well this time. I never had anyone to talk about the field when I was getting in but If you need any help or advice or just want to rant, you can always find me. I have a book page on Instagram (@mishreads_) if you want to dm me there. Hang on there, life has tough years but mostly it always brings good years too. Your time will come and I believe you will find your way upwards too. Best wishes and a warm virtual hug!

@OldSchoolStories_ Hi! Thank you so much for such a kind message, it honestly meant a lot to me. Your story really did help me during a difficult time, and I’m very grateful that I came across it.
            
            Right now I don’t have Instagram, but once I clear my NEET exam I’ll probably download it. I really hope that day comes soon so that I can message you there and tell you about my selection.
            
            Thank you again for your encouragement and for writing such a beautiful story. It truly means a lot to readers like me. Sending you lots of good wishes too!

Hii Author 
          
          I don’t even know how to begin this message without tearing up a little. I recently came across Forever and a Day… and I swear, it didn’t just feel like a book. It felt like someone gently opened my heart, read every hidden page inside it, and then wrote it back to me more beautifully than I ever could.
          
          I have read many stories before, but this one… this one stayed. It lingered in my chest long after I closed the chapter. The way you write is not just storytelling it’s soul-touching. Every page made me feel seen. Every emotion felt raw, unfiltered, real. There were moments I smiled through tears, moments I had to pause because it felt too personal… too close to home.
          
          I truly believe no one can write pain so deeply unless they’ve lived through it. Your words feel like they’re bleeding but in the most beautiful way. And I know that means you must have bled first. I don’t know your story, but I felt it between the lines. And maybe that’s why I connected so intensely.
          
          The depth of pain in your characters sometimes felt like a mirror I wasn’t ready to look into. I saw parts of myself in them the loneliness, the silent battles, the way strong people break quietly. But what I will forever thank you for is this: you didn’t leave us in the darkness. You gave me hope.
          
          You made me believe that even if everything feels shattered right now, someday it can be assembled again. That even the most broken hearts are not beyond healing. And in a phase of my life where I feel like I’m barely holding myself together, that hope means more than you will ever know.

Hi from one Srishti to the another one, 
          I'm writing this message with so much gratitude and admiration for your story ‘Forever and A day’ and I truly can't put into words how deeply it has resonated with me. I've been following it for a long time, even when it had a different name, and every time I read it, I'm completely captivated by the beautiful and intricate plot. It's a story that has stayed with me and I find myself returning to it again and again.
          For years, I've had a story living in my heart that I've tried to write so many times, but the fear of sharing it always held me back. Your incredible writing, however, has finally given me the courage I needed. Seeing the world you've built and the characters you've brought to life has inspired me beyond measure. You are the reason I'm finally taking a leap of faith and beginning to write my own story.
          Thank you. Thank you for being my inspiration. Your story isn't just a book; it's a source of hope and motivation.

@Srishti_tales oh my god, thank you for treating my book so highly. I can't wait to read yours! All the best and so much love!
