“And you?” I asked. “Do you always observe this much?”

Hello, everyone!
          
          I hope you all are doing well. 
          
          It’s been a long time. I’m posting a story after years — and this one is different.
          
          No fanfiction this time.
          
          This is my first General Fiction story, written slowly, intentionally, and very close to me.
          I don’t know where THE EVALUATION will go yet, but I do know why it started — with curiosity, quiet questions, and characters who feel real to me.
          
          Also… a slightly late one, but a heartfelt one —
          Happy New Year.
          
          May this year be kinder, clearer, and a little more honest for all of us.
          
          Thank you for reading.
          
          Thank you for staying with me! 
          
          I hope this story stays with you, even after the chapter ends.
          I just published "01 | At Exactly Midnight " of my story "The Evaluation ". https://www.wattpad.com/1599224796?utm_source=android&utm_medium=profile&utm_content=share_published&wp_page=create_on_publish&wp_uname=free_bird_123_

Dear Readers,
          
          I wanted to take a moment to say a proper goodbye—for now—and share a little of what’s been going on in my heart and mind.
          
          Over the past year, I kept telling myself I’d return to writing. I even had the time—but something kept holding me back. It took me a while to figure out why. The truth is, I’ve grown a lot during this time. I’ve reflected deeply on my life, my faith, and the kind of stories I want to tell.
          
          I realized I was writing things I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing in real life—and that made me feel like I was living in two different worlds. I don’t say this to judge anyone else or say what others write is wrong. This is just about me wanting to live honestly and feel at peace with what I create.
          
          Letting go of my stories—especially Mrs. Khanna—has been an incredibly hard decision. I spent so much time on that book. I corrected silly grammar mistakes, gave each chapter its own title, and shaped every scene with care. And I truly loved the characters: Avni, Neil, DD, Lee, Aaron, Alice, Nora, Ruby, and Rose. They felt real to me.
          
          I still wanted to write about how Avni confesses her feelings. How the siblings grow closer. What happens with Ruby. How Rose evolves. I wanted to give Daisy and Grover their own space too. So yes, this decision hurts—but I know it’s right for now.
          
          If I do write again—something new, something that aligns with who I am now—would you still want to read it? It will still be a love story—just one that’s sincere, rooted in values I believe in, and written from the heart. It might not be Mishbir or AvNeil, but it will still carry the emotion and connection that matter most. I’d love to know if you'd be open to that.
          
          To all of you who supported Mrs. Khanna and the Sweetness Series, I’m deeply grateful! 
          
          You made this journey meaningful. I’m sorry if this feels sudden or disappointing. Thank you for walking with me this far.
          
          With love and peace,
